You can apply to live in the UK to care for your child.
If you apply outside the UK you'll usually get a decision within 12 weeks.
Your child must be under 18 on the date you apply (or have been under 18 when you were first granted leave) and be a British or Irish citizen or settled in the UK.
Unless you are exempt, you must pass at least level A1 on the CEFR scale or hold a degree taught in English.
Complete the online family visa application as a parent and pay the fee.
Book and attend an appointment at a UK visa application centre to provide your fingerprints and a photo. Take your passport — you'll usually get it back the same day.
