To qualify for Leave To Remain as a parent of a British or settled child, you should meet the following requirements:

  • The child must be unmarried, must  not be leading an independent life and must be financially dependant on the applicant and/or the other parent of the child;
  • You should have been playing an active role in the upbringing of the child and should demonstrate intention to continue place such role in the life of the child.
  • The child in the UK can be somebody with pre settled status under the EUSS
  • It is unreasonable to expect such child to leave the UK

You can also apply if your child has lived in the UK continuously for at least 7 years immediately before the application date and it would be unreasonable to expect them to leave the UK.

Can my other children who are not settled be added as dependents on the same application?

Children are able to make applications under this application form where their parent is applying for limited leave to remain on any route other than under the points-based system or the UK Ancestry route. These applications can either be made on the same application form as a parent, where the child is included as the dependent, or they can be made separately.
