Child Under 18 Visa

[haha17ronaldo]

Hi
I have been in uk under spouse visa (married to british citizen) and im about to apply for ILR this september and i have a child who is 16 years old and 7 months from previous marriage i was wondering if there was any way i could bring my child to the UK and for him to obtain ILR and then hopefully citizenship. Either by child dependent visa. If there is a chance what is the quickest and most effective way for him to earn ILR or BC

Who doe the child live with?

Where is the other parent?

[haha17ronaldo]

Child is currently living with his mother in the UAE

[haha17ronaldo]

Childs mother and I are divorced

Unlikely you will get a visa if you don't have official court documents proving you have sole responsibility for the child.

If you share custody of the child with the other parent, then you do not have sole responsibility.

Not even for limited leave to enter visa?
As i would like to give the child a chance at getting British Nationality

It is for exactly a limited leave to remain visa that you are required to prove sole responsibility.

the thing is his mom got married which by UAE law gives the child option to choose custody would that and an affidavit proving that i was responsible for his decisions growing up. where he studies etc

What about tier 2 dependent or pbs dependent

[CR001]

You need to prove sole custody/responsibility. If you share custody with your ex then you do not have sole custody.
