Is it possible to file for my mother to come live with me in the uk?
Im British and my mom is American, I didn't want to leave her here in America by herself and wanted her to come join me in the UK

There is no sponsorship for parents to emigrate to the UK unless the parent is solely dependent on the British sponsor ie. daily needs and also financially.

BritInParis

As SanDiegiogirl correctly points out there is no automatic route to sponsor a parent to emigrate to the UK. Does your mother have any recent British, Irish and other European ancestry?

Cini97

Does the ancestry have to be parents or grandparents? and do we have to provide documents?

BritInParis

That would depend on which country you are trying to claim citizenship from.

SanDiegogirl

Of course you have to provide documents to prove Ancestry ........

What Ancestry does your mother have?

rebs

If you are wealthy enough, there are entrepreneur or investor visas, but they do need significant amounts of money.

Join an Ancestry/Geneology website to start investigations. Ask your mother where her parents and grandparent were born.

Unless she has Ancestry linking her to the UK or Europe, no, there is no other easy option.

How are you British? How is your mother Jamaican and American?

Cini97

I'm a British citizen born in the Caribbean(still under control by the uk) my mom was Jamaican but she gave up citizenship for USA
is it possible for her to get a family visa

BritInParis

So you’re British by birth? Where you born and which year? What about your father? Both Jamaica and the US permit dual nationality - did your mother actually give up her Jamaican citizenship or did she just become a US citizen?

Cini97

yes by birth. turks and Caicos age 21 father born same place.
if she still has a Jamaican citizenship what would that do?

I don't understand how you're a British citizen 'by birth' if you weren't born there, and neither were your mother or father. It would probably be easiest for BiP to help you if you could give full details of how you got your British citizenship and your family details i.e. their year of birth, citizenship, any links to European ancestry etc, etc .

He will be very happy to help you try and figure out a way for your mother to join you in the UK if he can, but I suspect he'll need a lot more info. We don't charge by the word so feel free to give full details!

Which year did your parents marry?
