Beyond partners, UK family routes cover children, parents of British children, and adult dependent relatives. Each has its own strict requirements, and the adult dependent relative route in particular demands carefully constructed evidence.
Basic requirements
Every case turns on its own facts — these are the core requirements we assess at your consultation:
- A qualifying family relationship, properly documented
- Financial and accommodation requirements for the route
- For children: sole responsibility or serious welfare considerations where required
- For adult dependent relatives: long-term care needs that cannot be met abroad

Common questions
Can I sponsor my parents?
The adult dependent relative route is one of the hardest in the rules — but not impossible with the right medical and care evidence. We give you an honest view before you spend money.
Can my child join me while I work in the UK?
Children can usually apply as dependants on most work routes, with their own fees and documents. We prepare family applications together.
What if family members are in different countries?
Applications can be coordinated across posts. We sequence them so decisions arrive usefully, not chaotically.
