Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund

Original answer

The family Immigration Rules set out the requirements to be met to allow any adult dependant relative of a British citizen to come to the UK. The applicant must be outside the UK and in most cases, the sponsor will be in the UK.

The adult dependent relative rules, together with the policy on exceptional circumstances, ensure that leave can be granted for those who demonstrate that, as a result of age, illness or disability, there is a level of long-term personal care required that can only be provided in the UK by their British relative who is here, or who is intending to return here with their dependant relative.

The answer was corrected by Baroness Williams of Trafford (Conservative)

on Wednesday, 30 October 2019 on behalf of the Home Office.

The Home Office will provide the necessary funding for projects under the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) for the lifetime of their projects, even if the UK leaves the EU without a deal.
