There are different criteria in the Migration Regulations for each one, which we won’t go into here. In short, the Dependent Child Visa is applied for when the child’s parent has a temporary Partner Visa, whereas the Child Visa is applied for when the parent has a permanent Partner Visa.

  Why was it refused? I can’t tell you what to do because I don’t know your circumstances. If you want professional help, please use our assessment form.
