    Settlement visa
    Good day!

    I would like to ask if I can be granted by a settlement visa? I'm actually 19 years old and a dependent of my mother who is currently working and living in United Kingdom. She's already a citizen in UK. I'm a little worried because my age is above 18 which is not a minor anymore.
    Is there in any possibilities that the british embassy will approve my application for a settlement visa? I can only think of the bigger chances that they will denied my application.
    I hope you can advice me with this. Thanks a lot

    Was she a UK citizen when you were born? If so, it is my understanding that you would automatically be a UK citizen, even if born outside of the UK, since you were born after 1983.

    If you were still a minor, under 18, when she obtained citizenship, you are derivative beneficiary. Since your age is over now, you must wait until visa number becomes current. This is a tricky part. Go to immigration lawyer, ask for one hour consultation, it does not cost much. The lawyer will give you details on what to do.

    No, my mom is not a UK citizen when I was born. She's actually a Filipino Citizen. I'm a Filipino citizen.
    Thanks a lot
