Family Members Of Stateless Persons

Family members of stateless persons in the UK can also apply to join or remain with the stateless person under specific provisions. Here is an overview of the relevant processes and considerations for family members of stateless persons seeking Leave to Remain in the UK

Eligibility for Family Members

Family members of a stateless person who can apply to join them in the UK include:

  • Spouses or civil partners
  • Unmarried or same-sex partners
  • Children under 18

Application Requirements

  1. Eligibility Criteria: The stateless person must have Leave to Remain or Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK. Family members must prove:
    • Their relationship to the stateless person
    • Their intent to live with the stateless person in the UK
    • That they meet the specific requirements for their category (e.g., marriage or partnership requirements)
  2. Evidence Required: Applicants need to provide documentation such as:
    • Marriage or civil partnership certificates for spouses or partners
    • Birth certificates for children
    • Proof of relationship, such as joint bank statements, tenancy agreements, or photos
    • Evidence that the family member will have adequate accommodation and financial support without recourse to public funds
  3. Application Forms: Family members use different forms depending on their situation. Typically, applications are made using the FLR(FP) form for family life as a partner or parent, or FLR(M) for a partner of a stateless person.
  4. Biometric Information: Similar to the stateless person, family members must also provide biometric information (fingerprints and photographs).

Decision and Rights

  • Grant of Leave to Remain

    If successful, family members are usually granted Leave to Remain for the same duration as the stateless person. This includes the right to work, study, and access public funds and services in the UK.

  • Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR)

    Family members can apply for ILR after living in the UK for a continuous period, typically 5 years, along with the stateless person.

Additional Considerations

  1. Financial Requirements: Family members must meet financial requirements demonstrating that they can be supported without relying on public funds. This can include income from employment, savings, or support from the stateless person.
  2. English Language Requirements: Partners and adult family members may need to meet English language requirements, either through a language test or by having a degree taught in English.
  3. Legal Advice: Given the complexity of immigration applications, it is often advisable for family members to seek legal advice to ensure all criteria are met and the application is complete and accurate.
  4. Appeals and Reviews: If an application is refused, family members may have the right to appeal or request an administrative review. The specific route for challenging a decision will depend on the grounds for refusal and the individual circumstances of the case.

Many thanks to all at Sunrise especially Ms Marriam, who helped me with my spouse visa renewal. Everything went smoothly and was fairly straight forward, they were all very happy to answer any questions I had during the whole process.Update:My spouse just received her ILR from SET (M) today. We used the super priority service on the professional advice of Mr Asif, a very experienced immigration solicitor who has successfully helped myself and two other relatives to obtain ILR.If you are planning to apply for spouse visa/ILR, I highly recommend to use the services of Sunrise Solicitors and especially Mr Asif, who aside from being a professional, is a great person who is always on hand to answer all queries.

really helpful and friendly on the phone, which was refreshing. He understood my case perfectly, and quoted a price, but also stayed on the phone to answer all my questions. I think we will go for it, but after a few months. Look forward to work with you. Thank-you

Working with Attorney Amir Naviwala was a reassuring experience due to his deep legal knowledge, clear communication, and meticulous attention to detail. From our first meeting, Amir's ability to explain complex legal terms in an understandable way and his thorough preparation for my case stood out. Beyond his professional expertise, Amir's genuine care and responsiveness made a significant difference, turning a potentially stressful situation into a manageable process. I am extremely grateful for his representation and highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a dedicated and compassionate attorney.

Called this morning to get an appointment for advice and was able to be booked in for a consultation call with Mr Amir Naviwala the same day. It took a while to get their confirmation email after I made the bank transfer, and had to call back twice to check that they'd received my payment and send me a link for the video call by email. I managed to speak to Mr Naviwala at the agreed time. He seemed friendly and was able to address all my concerns. I am happy with the service, thank you.

I want to highly recommend Mohamed Osman for doing an amazing job on my application. It took me a long time to find a good solicitor because many others were only interested in charging fees for brief consultations and conversations. Even for each follow-up question, I had to pay, which made it clear that those solicitors cared more about money than the process. Some even promised results and then made me chase them, forcing me to change solicitors several times.One day, I decided to find a solicitor on my own. After reading reviews on Google and comparing different solicitor companies, I came across Sunrise Solicitors. All the reviews were positive, so I immediately contacted the receptionist and made a booking. The consultation fee was much more reasonable compared to others.What stood out the most was the time and effort they put into my case, their respectfulness, and how quickly they responded to my emails and calls. I also want to thank everyone who took the time to write positive reviews about this company. If it wasn't for those reviews, I would never have known about Sunrise Solicitors and these amazing individuals.A special thanks to Haroon Ali, who took my application further and made it happen. Thank you to Sunrise Solicitors for hiring such dedicated individuals like Mr. Osman and Haroon Ali.

I spoke to Amir who was very knowledgeable and kind and offered his time to guide me on an expired 5 year unmarried partner leave to remain visa. He gave me the option of completing my life in the UK test quickly and submitting my settlement visa before the 14 days of good reason visa expiration. He also explained his fees and I appreciated his level of competency and urgency in helping me.
