Would I be allowed to live in the UK with my daughter being that she is under 18yrs?
God bless you my brothers and sisters as I wait for your contributions.
Answer:
I don't think you should be able to.. but with this spineless incompetent government that exists in the UK at present its entirely possible that you could.
but lets face it why should you get UK residence on the back of your separated & unmarried boyfriend, event though he is the father of your child. it may be that your child has rights to live in this country.. but why should that also grant you those rights.
I guess it is possible, however there is little chance of you making the case that your daughter will be allowed into the country at 3 years old to study - normal schooling in the UK does not start until age 6. One thing which is certain is that before you have any chance of entry to the UK your daughter must have full British citizenship. However, I suspect you may then get caught ina difficult situation. While it is often possible for someone to gain immigrant status to the UK in order to join a close family member (spouse, child, parent etc) who is already fully resident in the country this will not be the case for you - you will be seeking to enter the country with your daughter without anyone fully resident in the UK to support you. It is going to be difficult to persude the authorities that you are not simply using your daughter to get citizenship for yourself. Also, will you have the means to pay your way? You will need to demonstrate that you have the means to support yourself and your daughter, and probably, to pay for private schooling as I would be doubtful you would qualify to enter her in state funded education. Even if that is the case, due to your daughter's status as British citizen, you will still need to demonstrate that you are able to support the pair of you without recourse to the UK benefits system to which you would NOT be entitled.
Have some experience of UK immigration law. Even if your daughter has a british passport you might have difficulty to go there on the basis of her studying in Britain. A visa would not be automatically given to you just because the child has a British passport, especially as the child is still a minor.
the law has changed
you might not be able to get her a Brit pass
If you are a visa holder, I don't think so
Your daughter is not a student, this is your choice for her to study and you are not paying for it
No you should not be allowed to live in the UK and I get the feeling you know this yourself. I have also read your other questions and it seems you are very well versed in UK immigration.
I will also take a moral view about this. Morally, you have no right to be a UK resident.
I read Chris's post before I posted (as well as your previous posts) and it seems you know very the British system very well and are intending to manipulate it to suit your needs. Despite this I will, however, answer your question.
For what it's worth for the child to get British passport, you need:
her birth certificate
the father's birth certificate (containing the names of his parents)
father's current/expired UK passport
mother's full birth certificate
mother's current passport
ALL OF WHICH NEED TO BE ORIGINALS
As the father of the child is no longer takes care of the child and and you're living in Uganda you may have a problem doing this. You will also have problems getting a passport for the child as this will require the father's consent (unless you get a court order stating otherwise in any event even if you do get a court order you won't have access to his paperwork).
UK citizenship tends to work on descent (parents give it to their kids) not the other way around. You may be able to apply for a visa on some grounds but I doubt it. You're going to have enough headaches trying to get the UK passport for your daughter let alone your worry about your own paperwork.
Unless you are over 60 years old you have no automatic right to stay with your daughter. However as she is in education you can apply for visas to be here with her and the visa would have to be renewed regularly. As you grow older you may be able to stay with your daughter indefinitely. I am an immigration solicitor and most o fthe advice you have been given by the other contributors is completely wrong.
There is a parent accompanying a young student visa holder visa. But you are absolutley not allowed to work on it, you must show how you can support yourself while you are looking after your daughter.
In practise this means that the people who get this visa are wealthy international parents, where one parent (usualy dad) works away in the markets of the world earning squillions, and the other parent (usually mum) enrols the child in a posh fee paying school, and rather than enroling the child as a boarding student, rents a property near the school allowing the student to attend as a day student. I suppose during the day, the mother goes off and plays tennis or something.
If you don't fit this type of profile the chances of getting a visa are slim.
depends where your from
i really hope not. our schools are already overflowing
