(MENAFN- Arab Times) I am working in a private company with a salary of KD 650 per month. My husband quit the job recently due to health issues. He is already above 60 years now. Child is sponsored by him. Now my question is — Can I sponsor both of them on my residence as dependants. Please advise.

Answer: Under Kuwait Law, sponsorship on dependent visa is limited to men. This law not withstanding sometimes exceptions are made but based specifically on compassionate grounds, to allow women to sponsor others as dependents. Your case might fit this scenario. However for this to happen, you must seek a waiver from what the law says and it is only the Director-General of the Immigration Department who can give such a waiver. We therefore advise that you arrange to meet the director-general and put your case before him and if you are lucky you may be given a favorable hearing. We wish you the best of luck.
