I and my wife jointly sponsored my wife’s mother, about 60 years old, and brother 22, a law university student. Both visas were refused and only limited right of appeal given.

However the college has issued a letter to her confirming that she has passed the above exam and they are awaiting results f...

My only worry is that when I hear that the rules have been changed since O...
