Adult Dependent Relative Visa Refusal

About Adult Dependent Relative Visa Refusal

The adult dependent relative route is one of the most restrictive in the rules. It allows a parent or other close relative of a British or settled sponsor to join them in the UK where they need long-term personal care that cannot reasonably be provided in their home country. Refusals are common and often focus on whether the level of need and the lack of available care have been properly evidenced. RakLAW knows what the Home Office and tribunals are looking for and helps you put the strongest possible case forward.

Who this is for

  • Elderly parents needing long-term care abroad
  • UK sponsors trying to bring a dependent relative
  • Applicants refused on lack-of-care-abroad grounds
  • Families considering appeal after refusal

How RakLAW helps

  • Evidence care needs with medical and country detail
  • Show why suitable care is not available locally
  • Draft compelling appeal grounds where available
  • Frame Article 8 family life arguments carefully
