Child and Dependant Relative Visa Application Process, UK
The Home Office apply stringent rules as to who may be granted the visa and you will need to provide an extensive amount of documentary evidence to prove eligibility.

Many applications are refused on the grounds that the applicant has not been able to adequately prove that they meet the requirements.
