I am an indian who lived in england from Aug 2004 till dec 2011. During that time, i worked on work permit, HSMP and then got ILR. my wife and my daughter got British Citizenship. In january 2012, i came back to india and till now i am in india and never visited UK. I had a divorce with my wife. My daughter is british and i am taking care of her. Now i want to go back to UK. Wanted to know which option is best of following

or Family member visa

In case of returning resident visa, do i need to show that i have enough money and i can settle there without
recourse to public funds?

If you are applying for entry clearance as a single parent, then
you should have sole responsibility and
you should have adequate accommodation and maintenance and
she must be living in the UK, etc.
