Persons settled in the UK may have come here under various categories of the immigration rules(or even illegally) and subsequently obtained settled status or become British citizens. Prior to their arrival to the UK, they may have left children in their country of origin, with such children resident abroad but still under the age of 18years. Upon the parent acquiring settled status, the expected course of action is to submit an application for entry clearance to enable the child’s entry to the UK.
