As usual , the reply from the ukba is not correct....is your child applying with you or joining you.you have to clarify it with them, because you arrive here before july 9 and your child will join you not apply with you, am i right??
I still believe that when you want your child to join you ,you have to comply with the new financial requirements ...now if you have ILR then you are covered by the old rules and your child can apply via the ILE route.
