It is a fundamental and established facet of the legislative framework in the UK that, on making any decision affecting children, primary consideration must be given to the welfare of the child, particularly if the child is a British Citizen.
If you are in the UK and have a child in the UK who is a British Citizen you may be eligible to make an application to remain in the UK based on your status as the parent of a British Citizen.
If your child in the UK is not a British Citizen, but has nevertheless resided in the UK for at least 7 years, you may still be eligible to make an application to remain in the UK.
If your child is in the UK and is not a British Citizen and has not resided in the UK for at least 7 years, you may still be eligible to make an application to remain in the UK if we can justifiably cite relevant ‘exceptional circumstances’ provisions or possibly ‘compellingly compassionate grounds’ and/or ‘public interest considerations’.
