What can be done if my mother wants to go abroad?

I’m from Canada, I don’t know if it’s available in the UK, but it’s pretty much the same.

1 If she has skills and can speak English, she can apply for skilled immigration.

2 If you have money, you can ask your mother to do business without English. This is investment immigration.

3. You can get a family visit visa, just stay there, as long as you don’t get caught, go to work in a china town, (such as supermarket) usually don’t file taxes. But it is illegal work, the money is low and the time is long. If your mother wants. hey-hey. . . . .

4. After you apply for residence and work for a few years (to file taxes), you can also apply for your mother as your son (daughter). but she has to wait for long time.

Let us be honest, you only have 2.5 years. By the time you get him, you may have already returned to China. It takes several years to apply, okay? It's better that you go back and take care of her during the holidays.
