A True Story of Perseverance, Compassion, and Legal Expertise
Between April and June 2025, three UK visa applications under the Health and Care Skilled Worker Dependent route were refused for Ethan, a young boy from Zimbabwe separated from his mother due to work commitments. The refusals stemmed from a complex issue: proving sole parental responsibility. Despite the biological father’s absence in Ethan’s life, the Home Office did not accept the argument that Ethan’s mother was his sole caregiver.
Heartbroken but determined, Ethan’s mother turned to ZR Visas for Depenent Child UK Visa legal represention .
💼 A Turning Point: Legal Representation Begins
On 24 June 2025, she booked our Full Application Service, which includes comprehensive legal representation by a UK Registered Immigration Adviser. Mr. Naveed, known for his strategic and compassionate approach, was assigned to lead the case.
Under his supervision, our team worked tirelessly—day and night—to rebuild the application from the ground up. The challenge was clear: to demonstrate, with legal precision and emotional clarity, that Ethan’s mother had sole parental responsibility and that Ethan’s welfare demanded reunification.
We anchored our representation in Section 55 of the Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Act 2009, which prioritizes the safeguarding and welfare of children. A detailed legal cover letter was submitted, outlining compassionate and compelling grounds for Ethan’s dependent visa. Visa Application was submitted on 8 July 2025 and Ethan attended his biometrics appointment on 21 July 2025.

💬 Client Testimonial: A Mother’s Gratitude– Google Reviews 29 July 2025
“I contacted ZR Visas as my last hope after my son had 3 visas denied. It was all complicated and I was not expecting a positive outcome, but this morning I received an email from the Home Office saying the visa application has been successful—just one week after the biometrics appointment.
I still cannot believe it. I am very grateful to Naveed for putting his heart into this case even though its success rate was very low. The whole process was excellent—great communication, transparency, and my approval was sought for everything.
I will forever be thankful to God and ZR Visas. This visa’s success changes everything for me. I can now be united with my son, whom I left when he was 5 years old. He’s about to turn 8 soon. He is my only child, and it has been breaking my heart not being able to be with him.
Thank you, ZR Visas, for the wonderful work you do in bringing families together.”
