Hi there,
Myself on Tier1 Visa which was due to exprire in may 2014. My parents applied for visitor visa from India last month (Feb 2014), since my visa was due for extension (in 3 months), I was not sure whether my parents would be granted visitor visa for 6 months, I had taken sponsorship letter, bank statements and utility bills from my friend who is also in Tier 1 visa, in their visitor visa application they had mentioned they have 'no other friends or family in UK'. Their visa got refused on following grounds.
1. There is no clear evidence of relationship between the sponsor (as they had mentioned him as a family friend)
2. Failed to show sufficiently strong family, social or econmic ties to India. ( They had maintained 400000 INR in their bank account and a letter from accountant stating that source of fund was from a residential property sale and menttioning that they do have some immovable property in india. Though they have attached the asset documents(non-english) for that It was not traslated into English.)
I've got my tier 1 extension done now, They want to re-apply for the visior visa but using my documents (sponsorship letter,bank statements and utility bills).
My questions are,
1. Since they has already mentioned in their previous application that they had 'NO other friends or family in UK', will it be an issue if I sponsor my parent now?
2. I live in a single bedroom property with my partner and 2 year old son, However it is not mentioned in my tenancy agreement. So Single bed room apartment (with a seperate living room) be an issue if I show my tenancy agreement as an accomodation proof?
