lectures for up to 1 month. They must be invited by a UK Higher Education
Institution or a UK research or arts based organisation.

Family members can apply as general visitors, or child visitors in the case
of children under 18 years, to accompany the main visitor to the UK. They
would be allowed to stay in the UK for up to 6 months, or 12 months where they are

The information requested on entry clearance applications for adult dependent
relative settlement visas is not available and could only be obtained at
disproportionate cost by the examination of a significant number of individual
case records.

The Home Office publishes quarterly statistics on entry clearance visa
applications and resolutions (issued, refused, withdrawn and lapsed) by
category in table be_01_q (Before Entry tables volume 2) within the
\u2018Immigration Statistics' release. A copy of the latest release, \u2018Immigration
Statistics September \u2013 December 2013' is available from the Library of the
House and from:
https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/home-office/series/immigration-stati
stics-quarterly-release.

Within the table be_01_q , data relating to adult dependent relatives of a
British Citizen in the UK or a settled person in the UK are included in the
category \u2018Family: Other (for immediate settlement)' but cannot be identified
separately.

The Home Office is reviewing the collection of data relating to adult dependent
relative settlement visas. Data are being developed and, subject to resolving
any data quality/recording issues, it is planned to begin publishing data
specifically relating to adult dependent relative settlement visas later this
year.

A manual review of the available management information to identify adult
dependent relative applications granted in the period from 1 November 2012 to
30 September 2013 indicates that 34 settlement visas were issued in that period
to an adult dependent relative under Appendix FM to the Immigration Rules. This
information is provisional and subject to change. Corresponding information on
applications is not available.<\/p>
