There's no such visa available. Child-of-person-lawfully-settled-in-the-UK visa only applies to those who are under 18. 18 years is the cut-off. And even then you need to prove that your wife has "sole responsibility" for her upbringing, no complicating fathers in the picture in Mauritius.dd1975 wrote:As a separate issue
My wife has a daughter from a previous relationship still living in Mauritius (its a complicated story so I won't go into full detail here), she has just turned 18 and my wife would like her to be able to come and live with us.
She's not looking to come as a student, and wants to settle with us and be able to work.
What Visa does she need to apply for?
Unwise. She would be refused a visa to remain with family in the UK. There is no provision for "switching" from visitor to family dependent, and anyway, she still doesn't qualify. She wouldn't be able to work or study while it was being considered. The chances of her ever being allowed entry to the UK are close to zero, as she would (as the Home Office sees it) have demonstrated a desire to settle in the UK and a willingness and ability to attempt to circumvent immigration law. So they'd return her from the airport on the next plane.dd1975 wrote:There seems something inherently wrong with our system in cases like this.
Just throwing this out there but could she come here on a family visit (no visa required for that for 6 months from Mauritius) and then apply to remain with family living in the UK?
