Once you reach 21 you need to be dependent on the parent, but don't have to be living with them.

Are you dependent?

How does one proof dependancy she is my mother I dnt really know what to do

Jovon, what is your present situation?

Are you working or studying at present?

Have you any current regular contact with your mother?

Do you have correspondent that goes to her address?

There might be a way out of this. However i believe even if you don't succeed on your application, you case raises issues that may need to be address by a higher court.

I may be prepared to assist you, if you require any such assistance, and live around the London and South East Vicinity.

I believe you will be alright Jovon. Stay calm.

You can apply from now as you have lived in the UK for 5 years already.
