何时开始办理
建议在出行前 30 天 至 3 个月 开始办理。
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.

在哪里申请
在美国的申请方式
按辖区申请Because you live in the USA, you apply at a UK Visa Application Centre in the US — not in your home country. There are UK visa application centres in 30+ US cities (including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington DC, Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Miami, Atlanta, Boston, Philadelphia and Seattle). Use the official VFS US centre directory (linked below) to find and book the one nearest you.

- 名额分批放出，没有固定的公开时间——通常在当地清晨、周一上午以及每月 1 号前后。
- 热门领事馆（如法国、意大利、西班牙的大城市）一批名额可能在几分钟内被抢光——请提前注册并登录后再查看。
- 全天都可能因取消而释放名额，因此即使显示“无可预约”也请每天查看。
- 因此请尽早申请——最早可在出行前六个月。拖到出行前 1–2 个月往往已无名额。
温馨提示
- Your child must be under 18 on the date you apply, or have been under 18 when you were first granted leave.
- Applying inside the UK is much slower — it currently takes about 12 months to get a decision, versus about 12 weeks from outside the UK.
