Just want to gain some insights and any ones recent experience of the process of bring there wifes child to settle in the UK .

My wife came here on a spouse visa in 2009 and left behind her child with her mom n dad to look after my wife now has dual UK / Filipino citizenship and has been a UK citizen since Jan 2014 and know wants to bring her 6 year old daughter to settle with us in the uk .

Does the fact that the child has been living with mom and dad count against us even though we can prove evidence of remittance support etc

As far as i can make out we need to apply for a " to join family living permanently in the UK "

Any help greatly appreciated.
