Hello @lead55 an application for family reunion can only be made by immediate family, like spouses or unmarried & minor children. Since you are a mother of a 36 years old child, this is more likely a case of "exceptional hardship". Unfortunately, those cases are granted very rarely because there needs to be humanitarian reasons, like health issues and your daugther is the only person who can take care of you or you are in a looming danger. For this hardhsip rule, your daugther have to meet many requirements, e.g. be able to secure a livelihood for you and herself. She should seek advice from a counselling centre or a specialised migration lawyer, who will be able to support the case until the end. If you need support in finding one, please let me know where your daugther lives, I will try to find a counselling center for her to reach out.
