Do not infer a permanent prohibition from the FAQ’s initial-inclusion guidance. Nor should later inclusion be promised without checking the applicable process and eligibility.
Review the real change when the decision is made
The published joining-family group is the eligible spouse and unmarried children under 21. Each included person needs the relevant review; a later household choice does not itself grant status or preserve every earlier processing expectation.
The official page describes additional fees and gifts for each accompanying spouse and unmarried child under 21. Create a separate communication and identity checklist for the principal, spouse, and every included unmarried child under 21. The program directs that family members be included in the initial application in order to receive the associated benefits, so a decision to add a child later may not be available on the same terms. Family eligibility must be confirmed from the current official framework rather than assumed from a spouse's or parent's application. The programme’s recommendation to include family initially does not override those requirements. Each family member's eligibility and admissibility is examined individually, and a payment neither preserves a child's age nor cures an admissibility issue.
