Amendments to the BN(O) visa making it easier for adult dependent relatives of BN(O) sponsors to come and stay in the UK

Amendments made to the BN(O) visa route through the latest changes to the immigration rules are making it easier for adult dependent relatives of BN(O) sponsors to come and stay in the UK. This means that from the 4th of April they will no longer have to apply at the same time as the main applicant and their leave will be granted for 5 years, rather than being in line with the sponsor. Other changes include allowing BN(O) visa status holders who have British citizenship to sponsor family members to come to the UK.
