Im new to this forum,
I need some help my auntie ( Dads sister) visited uk from pakistan in 1987 ( at the age of 13) on a permenant visa with her mother she then returned after 6 months back to pakistan as her mother didnt like it here in the uk.
she has since been living in pakistan she is now happily married with 2 kids boy and a girl.
what im wanting to know now is would it be possible for us to apply for a settlement visa for her.
Can anyone help or offer some advice?
What exactly was her permanent visa? What passport does she have?
If she has to apply from scratch again then the relevant rules will probably be
these for Parents, grandparents and other dependent relatives of persons present and settled in the United Kingdom
(f) the son, daughter, sister, brother, uncle or aunt over the age of 18 if living alone outside the United Kingdom in the most exceptional compassionate circumstances and mainly dependent financially on relatives settled in the United Kingdom; and
(ii) is joining or accompanying a person who is present and settled in the United Kingdom or who is on the same occasion being admitted for settlement; and
(iii) is financially wholly or mainly dependent on the relative present and settled in the United Kingdom; and
(iv) can, and will, be accommodated adequately, together with any dependants, without recourse to public funds, in accommodation which the sponsor owns or occupies exclusively; and
(iva) can, and will, be maintained adequately, together with any dependants, without recourse to public funds; and
(v) has no other close relatives in his own country to whom he could turn for financial support; and
Your aunt has family, so I cannot see that she is alone in the most exceptional compassionate circumstances, nor that she has no other close relatives to turn to.
