Dear Home Office,

I am a Romanian citizen, aged 22 years old. My parents, both live in the UK for about 2 years, Romanian citizens themselves. They have the blue card permit to work. I wish to join them soon in the UK and i need to know:

1. How can i prove my dependency to them, by this being eligible to a dependency Blue Card ?
2. What documents do i need to provide ? Please give some examples, even though i know it's different from case to case.

Yours faithfully,

A. Constandachi

6. Family of British and Settled Persons

A number of changes to the Immigration Rules come into effect on 9 July 2012. These changes will affect non-European Economic Area (non-EEA) nationals applying to enter or remain in the UK under the family migration route.
These changes will define the basis on which a person can enter or remain in the UK on the basis of their family or private life, unifying consideration under the rules and Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
If you already have leave to enter or remain in the UK, on the basis of being the spouse or partner of a settled person, you will need to meet the rules which were in force before 9 July 2012 if you apply for settlement.
The changes include:
* introducing a new minimum income threshold of £18,600 for sponsoring the settlement in the UK of a spouse or partner, or fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner of non-European Economic Area (EEA) nationality, with a higher threshold for any children also sponsored; £22,400 for one child and an additional £2,400 for each further child;
* extending the minimum probationary period for settlement for non-EEA spouses and partners from two years to five years, to test the genuineness of the relationship;
* abolishing immediate settlement for the migrant spouses and partner where a couple have been living together overseas for at least 4 years, and requiring them to complete a 5 year probationary period;
* from October 2013, requiring all applicants for settlement to pass the Life in the UK Test and present an English language speaking and listening qualification at B1 level or above of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages unless they are exempt; and
Detailed information about changes to the family migration rules that came into effect on 9 July 2012 can be found on the UK Border Agency website at:
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/siteco...
Detailed information about how you can apply to remain in the UK if you are the partner, dependent child or adult dependent relative of a British citizen, a person who is settled, has refugee leave or humanitarian protection here can be found on the UK Border Agency website at:
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas-...
You will be required to prove your English language ability, if you are applying as the husband, wife or civil partner of a British citizen or someone who is settled here.
This information is based on Part 8 of the Immigration Rules.
For details of the English language requirement, see the English language requirement page.

7. UK Ancestry

Detailed information about UK Ancestry can be found on the UK Border Agency website at:

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas-...

8. Child born in the UK
If your child was born in the UK and you currently have limited leave to remain, you will need to obtain and complete one of the following application forms, in order for them to be granted leave to remain as your dependant.

PBS Dependant application form should be used if the person whom the child is dependant on has been granted leave to remain under the Points Based System.

FLR(O) application form should be used if the person whom the child is dependant on has been granted leave to remain in any other category.

On form FLR(O) the child's details should be entered in Section 1 - Applicant's Details. Your passport should also be enclosed with the application.

If you will be leaving the UK and do not intend to return under the conditions of your current leave to remain, you are not required to make an application to the UK Border Agency for your baby. They are deemed to have leave to remain in the UK until you leave.

If you will be making an application for further leave to remain or indefinite leave to remain and do not intend to travel before you do so, you can include the baby as your dependant at that time. However please note, if you travel outside the UK before your baby obtains leave to remain, you will need to obtain Entry Clearance for the baby before you return to the UK.

9. Settlement - Knowledge of Language and Life in the UK

If you are applying for settlement in the United Kingdom you may be required to demonstrate Knowledge of Language and Life in the United Kingdom, in addition to meeting the other requirements for settlement. For further information, please visit the UK Border Agency website at:

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas-...

10. Indefinite Leave to Enter

In terms of your status in the UK, Indefinite Leave to Enter and Indefinite Leave to Remain are exactly the same. The Indefinite Leave to Enter Entry Clearance means, in terms of your current immigration status in the UK, that there is no time limit on your stay in the UK.
The end date shown on an Indefinite Leave to Enter Entry Clearance (EC) vignette is a guide to the holder for travel purposes only, or relates to the validity dates of the passport/travel document in which the vignette is endorsed.
The validity and activation of the Entry Clearance is determined by the dates noted on the Entry Clearance vignette not by any ink stamp endorsed in the passport or travel document by a UK Immigration Officer at the port of entry.
The Immigration Officer's stamp merely indicates when the Entry Clearance was used to enter the UK but the Entry Clearance is still valid without an on-entry stamp.
The Entry Clearance should be used to enter the UK within three months of issue but can be used after this date at the discretion of the Immigration Officer.
Once the expiry date noted on your EC is passed it is not necessary for the holder of Indefinite Leave to Enter status to apply within the UK for Indefinite Leave to remain status as they are effectively the same thing and your "No time limit "status remains extant.


11. New Passport - Transfer of Conditions or No Time Limit

Detailed information about transferring your visa or residence permit from an old passport or travel document to a new one can be found on the UK Border Agency website at:

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas-...
