Single parent to apply dependent visa for child
 
See anyone can give me advice.

My friend is a British citizen by descent and unfortunately her husband has passed away. She has a 11 years old child & holding a non-EU passport. Both of them never been living in UK.

Now she is planning to move to UK with her child. 1) What’s the application procedure & application form does she require?
2) If she is via the saving route, would the financial requirement is the same as a couple?
3) Will her child be able to obtain ILE straight away & apply citizenship after fulfill the 3 years residence period?

Thanks in advance!

1) She would need to apply for a child settlement visa. This is done online at https://www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk/home/welcome

2) There's no financial requirement for a child; just maintenance and accommodation.

3) If the other parent is deceased, yes.

Thx a lot BP, some further questions

2) How much is required for maintenance fees?

3) For BC by descent to apply settlement visa for their spouse & child under 13, will the child get ILE or leave to enter? Also will the child eligible to apply citizenship after 3 years residence or follow the spouse route which need 5 + 1 years?

3) They should receive ILE so three years to citizenship.
