How To GO About Applying for a Domestic Visa

[r_goy]

Hello guys, hope anyone here has any idea how to facilitate domestic visa. Suggestions/Opinions/Ideas are most welcome. Is there a need for me to leave my 1 yr old child in my home country where it is my sister who will be the careprovider then in the process I can apply for a domestic visa for her to come here in the uk and work in my household as the nanny.

What "domestic visa" are you referring to? Domestic worker visa?

[Greenie]

Where is your child at the moment?
What is your immigration status in the UK? when did you move to the UK? Do you have a residence outside the UK?
Has your sister already been employed by you as a member of your household staff? If so for how long?

hello thank you guys for answering this query, yes i'm here on spouse visa and processing my indefinite leave to remain as im here for 2 years already. and yes it is a a domestic worker visa I want to get my sister and im planning to leave my child for a year in my home country as me and my husband are both working and it will a desperate move for me to quit my job (deputy manager of a care home)to care for my 1 child. I have passed all my exams here to qualify as a doctor and i really feel guilty leaving him in a nursery its worth a treasure if i feel confident that my sister is taking care of my child in my private household although that means leaving his 12 year old son with our mum. please please if you can suggest a better scenario for me it will mean so much.

my sister is not employed by me yet but my plan is to leave my son in my home country so she can be the prime guardian and that will be evidence enough for home office for me to hire her as a domestic helper here in the uk.

In order for your sister to qualify as a domestic worker, she needs to have been working for at least 1 year immediately before her application as a domestic worker in the same house as you or
in a household that you use on a regular basis, and there is evidence of a connection between her and you as her employer.

It is not clear from what you are saying that your intend for your sister to be a paid nanny and thus your 'employee' or rather you are going to give her guardianship of your child for a year before the application which is not really the same thing. is your sister going to be paid to look after your child?

It is also not clear that you could argue that your sister is working in your 'household' or a 'household that you use on a regular basis' if you are going to be working in the UK full time whilst your sister looks after your child abroad. In whose household will your sister and child be living?

Also - what do you mean by saying:

"its worth a treasure if i feel confident that my sister is taking care of my child in my private household although that means leaving his 12 year old son with our mum"?

please please if you can suggest a better scenario for me it will mean so much.

do you mean a better scenario from an immigration point of view or from a childcare point of view?

Hello Greenie thank you for your interest in my case. Me and my sister lived in the family home until I got married and migrated here. She is still living in our family home with our parents with her 12 year old son. Im planning to leave my 1 year old child with my sister and pay her to show that im actually employing her to be my sons nanny then apply for domestic visa so i can bring my son back here with my sister as an employed nanny. will that be possible?

[r_goy]

and yes that is the same household i will go back to when i go back home

[Greenie]

Personally I struggle to see how you would convince an ECO that your sister is your domestic servant as opposed to a family member who is looking after your child, and that she is working in your household or a household you frequently use if you are going to be living and working full time in the UK.

Perhaps others might have a different view.

She is still living in our family home with our parents with her 12 year old son.

Assuming your sister does somehow manage to get entry clearance as domestic worker (which I believe is highly unlikely, as Greenie has pointed out), have you given a thought about your sister's 12 year old son - who will then have to live without his mother?
