Do my dependants need to pass an English language test?
No, they do not. Β NOTE: We wish to make a correction to the information provided in the webinar; dependants of a π¦ππππππ πͺπ’π₯πππ₯/Health & Care visa holder are exempt from having to take an English language test.Β
Can I arrange accommodation for my family before I arrive in the UK?
Legally, a landlord or agent in the UK is required to meet their prospective tenant face to face to verify their original ID and complete a full βRight to Rentβ check so this would not be possible prior to arrival.
Technically, you could book holiday accommodation as a temporary measure, for example, such as an Airbnb house/apartment or a hotel, but that would be very expensive and not an ideal option from a practical or financial point of view.
Can I bring my elderly parent as a dependant?
The adult dependent relative (ADR) route provides qualifying applicants with the opportunity to live in the UK with a close relative on a long-term or even permanent basis.
ADR visas, however, are generally only granted in limited circumstances and applicants would be best advised to take independent legal advice from an immigration lawyer, to maximise the chances of success.

If my application gets denied, do I need to pay again for re-application?
Unless you are advised you have the right to appeal, the decision of the Embassy is final so you will need to start a fresh, new application and pay the fee again should you wish to reapply, perhaps with additional/different evidence.
My mom is in the UK and she wants to bring me to UK, but unfortunately I am older than 18 years old. Is it possible that I can be brought over as a dependant?
For a parent to be able to bring a child over 18 years of age to the UK as a dependant, they must be able to explain and evidence that the child is solely supported by them, financially and practically, and there are no other relatives or suitable carers to support the child in their source country, without their parent.
