A family based in UK approached us following the refusal of Home Office to allow an elderly parent to join his daughter and her family in the Uk. The caseworker refused the application on the basis that care can be found in in the country where he lives.

The Applicant is a widower, living alone in his home country where carers go in daily to assist him with daily chores and his medication. He suffers early onset of dementia and other health conditions. He was vulnerable as all his children live abroad.

His daughter lives and works in the Uk and she is a British citizen who had the support of her husband to lodge the initial application.

We advised the clients on essential documents we will require to challenge the decision before the Courts. Appeal was lodged promptly, and directions were followed with precision and advance preparation.

The Appellant’s bundle was prepared with detailed and compelling witness statements, medical evidence as well as the family’s living arrangements in the UK. Were able to show that the Appellant will have his own room and there will be adequate hands-on support for him in the UK as compared to his home country.

Appeal was allowed by an Immigration Judge and the family are now reunited in the UK.

If you have an elderly relative living abroad and you wish to bring them to live with you, we are best equipped to assist you from initial application, right down to an appeal if necessary. We understand how difficult and emotionally challenging it is to be separated from elderly relatives abroad.

There is a high threshold in such cases, therefore you must get the right legal assistance from the outset to have a better chance of a positive outcome.
