Seeking advice on bringing in my nearly 18 yrs old daughter to join me here in UK

Maybe you need professional advice if you are uncertain as to how to interpret the regulations.

Yes, yours is a settlement visa, but NO you are not yet a 'settled' person, as you have not completed the whole process yet. Therefore, you cannot sponsor anyone for a UK visa.

Your husband can. He is the step-father to your daughter, and can therefore be her sponsor...as I was for my 2 Filipino stepchildren in 1996. (Don't need to be adopted).

I'm certainly not an expert on such things though, so I would urge you to search around on google, keep asking questions, and if time is getting tight...contact UKVI for up to date advice.

Thank you Grahamw48. It will be my husband to sponsor my daughter now, thanks a lot for your advice! I understand the meaning of "settled" person now
