You can switch to a parent of a British child visa from inside the UK if you are a parent of a British child and meet the eligibility requirements for switching to a parent of a British child visa as set out in Appendix FM of the Immigration Rules. An application for switching to a parent of a British child visa can either by made under the 5 years route or under the 10 years route.
The main requirements to qualify for switching to a parent of a British child visa (5-year route) from inside the UK include meeting the immigration status requirements, evidence of parental relationship with your British or settled child, not being the partner of the other parent of the child, the child to be either British or settled person, the child to be under the age of 18, the adequate maintenance requirement, accommodation, and English language proficiency requirements.
If your application for switching to a parent of a British child visa (5-year route) is successful, you will be granted leave to remain as a parent of a British child for 30 months, leading to settlement/ILR after 5 years.
If you do not meet all the requirements of switching to a parent of a British child visa under the 5-year route, you can apply for a parent of a British child visa under the 10-year route. You do not have to meet the financial and English language requirements when applying for leave to remain as a parent of a British child under the 10-year route. It is pretty common for applicants who cannot meet the financial requirements or immigration status requirements to apply for switching to a parent of a British child visa under the 10-year route.
You can apply for switching to a parent of a British child visa through Super Priority Service to get a decision on your application within 24 hours.
