You can apply for a family visa to join your parent in the UK.
If you apply outside the UK you'll usually get a decision within 12 weeks.
You must live with your parent (unless living away in full-time education, e.g. boarding school or university) and not be married or in a civil partnership.
Complete the online family visa application to join your parent and pay the fee. Include proof of your parent's income if applying separately.
