Nonetheless, UK unis will still bear a huge financial brunt. This also doesn’t mean a few int’l students won’t still come over here, it just means a hugeee dip will be suffered compared to past years. Can’t pretend it’ll be the same. Zahra29: 1 Like |

Chreze: It's difficult, but better than having them create a thread on Nairaland 18 years from now when applying for visa asking for advice on how to explain why they overstayed their visa before. 1 Like |

abuhusna1: You mean a 9 year old can come to UK on a visitor visa to visit me, and not return. 7 years later, I can regularise that child? Infact, you mean a 10 year old can come on a 1 year dependant visa. Then the 10 year old gets ‘lost’ in the crowd. Then have themselves regularised when they are 17 (7years later)? Really? |

Obviously it is absolutely vital to apply for a valid visa for the kids to avoid unnecessary issues / delays. And yes, overstaying is a criminal offence but I doubt they will detain and deport child(ren) under 18 as he said. And if you go through some of the guidance (student, graduate etc), you are likely to see the attach. So yes, there are exceptions in some cases BouharryArtikou:

Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Zahra29: 6:16pm On Jan 24 |
abuhusna1: Yes, but it's not as straightforward. It's a discretionary application which means the case worker will examine the facts of the case and the applicant/lawyer has to convince them why the child cannot return back to their home country. A child who came into the UK at 12 but went to school in Nigeria, has family and friends there etc, would have to provide more evidence on this compared to a child born here who hasn't lived anywhere else. Bear in mind that a child who comes to the UK after the age of 10 will be turning/over 18 (considered an adult) at time of application and unlikely to be granted leave under the 7 year rule which was designed for children. |

Just to add you can make an application within 14 days after expiry of their visas and provide documents with good reason to prove your case. As a last resort If you fall under one of eligibility criteria, maybe you may get a waiver. https://www.gov.uk/visa-fee-waiver-in-uk All the best. farnet: 1 Like |

Hello everyone I need advise from people who has experienced something like this; My Spouse and I came to the Uk 3 months ago under the student route without our kids (11 & 5 years), we applied for our kids visa in Dec and they have been given. The issue now is how to bring them here as we don't have funds to have one of us travel down to Nigeria to pick them so we are contemplating they follow a family friend that would be coming to the Uk in March. Is this option available and with which airline will you advise? I hope they won't have any issue at the Point of entry? Which airline can you recommend that is cheap during this period ? |

Otokitifunmi: Actually, the kids can come in on their own. There is something called ‘unaccompanied minors’ However, you may be able to give a consent for someone to bring them. Long process. My candid advise: You and your spouse should immediately start working over time shifts in any and every legit job. Get some money then one of you travels to go and bring the kids. 1 Like |

Bourne007: You see, my brother. Context is EVERYTHING. OP was clear about their particular case. Saying there are exceptions in some cases may be a truism, but you failed to situate this within the context of OP’s initial question. While I haven’t checked yet, I can bet my bottom $ that the exceptions you refer to will not cover PSW visa applicants. |

ReesheesuKnack:yes for those born in the UK. They can go straight for ILR. Illegals/overstayers are using this route like mad. It clearly says if a child is born and spent 7 years continuously. https://www.gov.uk/apply-indefinite-leave-to-remain-private-life/eligibility#:~:text=Children%20and%20young%20adults,basis%20of%20your%20private%20life. The kids apply for ILR o. Once the kids get the ILR, then the parents apply and begin their 10 year journey to ILR. For those born outside they can still apply under private life and get 2 and half year visas etc. 4 Likes 1 Share

ReesheesuKnack:The law is statight forward as long as you are not 18 before your residence in the uk is 7 years you are entitled to regularisation. No Jupiter can send the child out of uk after 7 years as he or she is entitled to private right. Many people had regularised their status this way cos as soon as the child gets regularised the parent use their child's status to regularise. 4 Likes |

abuhusna1: This is correct to an extent. However, it is debatable whether this provision is absolute and will be applicable in cases where parents deliberately decided not to pay for visas for their children while they continued paying for themselves and either could have afforded to pay for the children's visas or could have stretched themselves to do so or sought a fee waiver if they genuinely could not pay. At some point any such children's status might come to the HO's notice, either when they are registering for school somewhere or if they have to seek non-emergency treatment and the parents incur a bill or if a landlord asks for BRPs when parents move house, etc. Remember that the general thrust of visa policy in this country is to collect money from migrants to pay for public services, so allowing people to get away with not paying for dependants visas to save themselves money would entail creating moral hazard that the HO might or might not decide to follow up on. |
