Defenatly you will need to apply for a family visa to be able to live with a family member in the UK for more than 6 months.

If you are outside the UK, you have the option to submit an application for a family visa to reside with:

Your spouse or partner

Your fiancé, fiancée, or proposed civil partner

Your child

Your parent

A relative who intends to offer long-term care for you.

Extending Your Family Visa

If you are currently in the UK on a family visa, you have the option to apply for an extension to prolong your stay with your family member.

You can submit your extension application at any time before your existing permission to stay in the UK expires. If you are extending to remain with the same family member, your new visa will include up to 28 days from your current stay.

*To be eligible for settlement ("indefinite leave to remain"), you need to reside in the UK for a specified period. Before proceeding with your visa extension, it's important to determine the duration required for settlement in the UK.

If you have been residing in the UK for an extended period, you may explore the possibility of applying to remain based on your private life.

Switching to a family visa

If you initially arrived in the UK under a different visa category, there is a possibility to switch to a family visa in order to remain with your:

• Spouse or partner

• Child

• Parent

The switch can be made at any point before the expiration of your current permission to stay in the UK.

Your eligible partner and children have the option to apply to accompany you or remain in the UK as your 'dependants.' 

Separate applications must be completed for each of them.

If your partner's or child's application is approved, their visa will typically expire on the same date as yours. In cases where a child's parents hold visas with different expiration dates, the child's visa will conclude on the earlier date.

A dependant partner or child is defined as:

Your husband, wife, civil partner, or unmarried partner.

Your child under 18, including those born in the UK during your stay.

Your child over 18 if they are currently in the UK as your dependant.

When applying, it is necessary to provide evidence of your relationship with your dependant.

The UK Graduate Visa, also known as the Graduate Route, is a immigration pathway designed for international students who have completed a degree in the UK. Here are the key details about the Graduate Visa:

Eligibility: To qualify for the Graduate Visa, you must have completed a UK degree or other eligible qualification at an approved UK Higher Education Provider.

Duration: The Graduate Visa allows you to stay in the UK for a maximum of two years (or three years for PhD graduates). This period starts from the date you receive your degree.

Work Rights: During your stay on the Graduate Visa, you are free to work at any skill level. There is no requirement for sponsorship by an employer.

Switching to Work Visa: The Graduate Visa is a non-extendable visa. However, it provides a pathway for graduates to switch into other work visa categories, such as the Skilled Worker visa, if they secure a suitable job offer.

Application Process: You can apply for the Graduate Visa from within the UK. The application typically requires evidence of your UK qualification and proof of funds to support yourself during your stay.

Family Members: Dependents (spouses/partners and children) may be eligible to accompany or join you during your stay under certain conditions.

Benefits: The Graduate Visa offers international graduates an opportunity to gain valuable work experience in the UK after completing their studies, enhancing their career prospects and potentially leading to longer-term residency options.

This visa route aims to retain talented graduates in the UK workforce while benefiting from the skills and knowledge they acquired during their studies in the country!
