Household status planning
Plan the household—not a collection of separate applications.
Family eligibility, relationship evidence, schooling, accommodation and arrival timing often depend on the principal applicant's route. We coordinate the family as one connected plan.
Household constellation
Every family member has a different dependency on the main route.
Eligibility connection
Confirm who can derive status, under which relationship and at what stage.
Independent evidence
Each person may still need identity, health, character, custody or consent records.
Practical readiness
Coordinate accommodation, schooling, insurance, appointments and travel.
Definitions of spouse, partner, child, parent and dependency differ by jurisdiction and route. Current rules must be confirmed for each household member.
Family evidence file
Prove the relationship and the practical plan.
Documents must be current, consistent and prepared in the form the authority accepts.
Who is included?
Passports, civil records, prior names and immigration history for each person.
How are they connected?
Marriage, partnership, birth, adoption, custody or dependency evidence.
How will needs be met?
Funds, income, accommodation, insurance and sponsor undertakings.
Who must agree?
Parental consent, custody orders, sponsor approvals and signed declarations.
Staged family sequence
Coordinate filing and arrival around real family priorities.
Concurrent filing is not always available or desirable. The plan should protect school calendars, employment, travel and housing decisions.
Confirm the anchor
Principal route, sponsor, application stage and expected status conditions.
Map each dependant
Eligibility, documents, age limits, custody and additional requirements.
Choose filing order
Concurrent, follow-to-join or later application based on rules and priorities.
Prepare arrival
Appointments, school, accommodation, healthcare and residence activation.
Life-event control
Family status changes when life changes.
Marriage, birth, separation, custody, ageing children and changes to the principal applicant can alter eligibility or require notification.
Birth, marriage or partnership
Confirm when the person can be added, which records must be issued and whether the principal's file changes.
Age, study or financial status
Review children and parents before they pass an age or dependency threshold.
Separation, custody or bereavement
Assess status impact, notification duties and independent pathways sensitively and promptly.
Common questions
Before coordinating the whole household.
These answers are general planning guidance; household eligibility is route- and jurisdiction-specific.
Must the principal applicant be approved first?
Some routes permit concurrent filing while others require approval, residence activation, accommodation or other steps first. The sequence should be confirmed before travel is booked.
Are adult children eligible?
Possibly, subject to age, study, dependency, marital status and route-specific definitions. Evidence and deadlines should be reviewed early.
Can parents be included?
Some routes allow parents or other relatives under strict dependency, age, financial or household tests; many do not. Alternatives may need separate assessment.
Do family documents need legalisation?
Birth, marriage, custody and civil-status records may require certification, apostille or legalisation, and translation. Requirements depend on the issuing and receiving authorities.
