Family routes
A dependant route may allow family members to accompany or join a person with UK permission. Whether it is available depends first on the main applicant's route.
It is a route-specific immigration category, not simply a description of someone who relies on you. A partner or child must be considered against the relevant route and their own circumstances.
Different work and study routes can have different dependant provisions. A change in the main applicant's situation may also affect family planning. Do not assume that one person's successful application guarantees the same outcome for everyone else.
