There is no minimum/maximum limit to be eligible, you just have to convince\prove to the ECO that you meet the criteria and are genuine. Will you be financing the trip or your father? As I sponspored my in laws completely.
Yuo need to show his ties to his home country, that is where most people fall short, does he get a pension, where does that go, can you not show proof of this as his income?

Just be careful of that. Thanks for the tip regarding medical insurance, I have taken out medical insurance already and sub...
