I'm seeking advice on a situation involving my family’s current immigration status in the UK.
Background: My spouse holds a Skilled Worker visa (Tier 2) in the UK, and I am here as a dependent. We have a young child with significant health issues that require ongoing, specialized treatments (still hospitalised since birth) unavailable or unaffordable in our home country.
My Questions:
- Impact on Current Visa Status: If we apply for humanitarian protection due to our child’s medical needs, will this immediately affect or cancel our current Skilled Worker and dependent visas?
- Status if Application is Rejected: If the humanitarian protection application is unsuccessful, would this impact our ability to remain in the UK under our current visa status?
- Fees for Humanitarian Application: Are there any application fees, Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) fees, or other charges for applying on humanitarian grounds? And would we be eligible for a fee waiver due to financial hardship?
- Additional Impacts: Is there anything specific we should keep in mind to avoid complications with our Skilled Worker conditions while exploring this humanitarian option?
