Child visa and UC

Post by Babila » Thu Apr 23, 2020 5:08 pm

Hello to every one
I am a British citizen and I have my NON EU child of 10 year who leaves in Cameroon. She got a visa refusal 3 years ago to join me here when I was on ILR. I am on full time work at the moment now but still need to rely on Universal credit. I am planning to reapply a visa for her this year. Is the fact I am on UC can affect the chance to get an approval?
Thanks to everyone
Stay safe guys

1. What visa did you apply for previously for the child and why was it refused?

2. Where is the child's other parent?

3. What are is your annual salary?

1- VAF4A . It was refused because the HO was not satisfied regarding the documents that shows I was taking care of the child.

2- The other parent is in Cameroon but has another family. I applied for the visa when my mum died and she was leaving with my daughter.

3- £22,500 p/a

Thanks

To apply for the child, you have to prove you have sole responsibility, can accommodate the child and meet the financial requirements if £18,600pa and can support the child without recourse to public funds.

Are you the child's mother or the father?

UC is a tax free top up amount on ur earning. If ur british or hold ILR you can allow to access Public benefits without any restrictions. UC is under ur name. You only need to prove minimum earning thershold to meet financial requirement.

UC itself will not effect on ur child application as dependant.

UC is a means tested welfare payment for those who are in need. UC has work requirements for the claimants, which is why this benefit is for those of working age/those of UK state pension age who have a partner of working age.

I assume the OP has other children if he is receiving UC on a salalry of 22.5K?

Where is the other parent??

Why didn't you bring the child under your previous EU route FP, it would have been far simpler.
