For the application for leave to remain as a child under the age of 18 of a person who has leave to enter or remain as a partner or parent, the child:

  • must be in the UK;
  • must have made a valid application for leave to remain as a child;

Grant Of Leave To Remain As A Child

If the child meets the requirements for leave to remain, the child will be granted leave to remain for a period in line with his/her (non-settled) parent.

In most cases, the child would be making an application for leave to remain at the same time as the parent of the child is making an application for renewal of leave to remain as a partner or parent. If the child is making an application under this category at the same time when his/her parent is applying for his/her renewal, the child will be included in the application form of the parent.
