If you choose to take the risk and apply and they are refused, it will effectively shut the door on any future visitor visas as their intention to settle in the UK will be known.Coming to be cared for - you’re an adult dependent relative
You must be dependent on a parent, grandchild, brother, sister, son or daughter of someone living permanently in the UK.
You must prove that:
you need long-term care to do everyday personal and household tasks
the care you need is not available or affordable in the country you live in
the person you’ll be joining in the UK will be able to support, accommodate and care for you without claiming public funds for at least 5 years
you’re 18 or over
Well they aren't really are they? They have other children and grandchildren in India.as I said, my intention to keep them with me as they are alone back home.
There is no easy way or a way to try and circumvent the rules, which are only becoming harder. There have been a number of visit visa refusals for parents recently.Please let me know, what is the best way I should think of.
None really, try Surinder Singh route (google before asking), move a country thats supports chain migration like USA, or move back home to be with your parents.OyeLuckyOye wrote:Thanks for your quick response and advice, so in this case what alternatives do I have to bring my parents on long term basis?
1. Is it possible to bring them to the UK on visitor visa but on long term basis i.e. they don’t have to travel to and fro on frequent basis
2. Do I need to apply for their visitor visa over here or it can only be done from India
3. What all documents will be needed.
Sorry for asking so many questions.. I have not much info., as I said, my intention to keep them with me as they are alone back home.
Please let me know, what is the best way I should think of.
Thanks,

Yes, they can. The Surinder Singh route operates under EEA Regulations and is not impacted by decisions taken under UK Immigration Rules.pranjam wrote:I had a question on this topic as well so thought I would post it here. What happens if somebody does try to get the dependent parents visa which is refused and consequently the visit visa route is also closed, can they still use the surinder singh route to enter the UK?

I'm not very conversant with procedures under the EEA Regulations, but the EEA is the EU along with Norway and Iceland. From the UK's immigration viewpoint, they are the same. So, I'm confused about the EU Family residence permit vs the EEA family permit mentioned above. They are likely the same.pranjam wrote:...giving people with EU Family Residence Permit the ability to enter the UK and subsequently apply for an EEA Family permit does it not mean that there are now in fact two ways to have your parents enter the country via the EU. Obviously the EU family residence permit will take longer but it is more straightforward as far as I know.
I could be completely wrong about this as there is no clear definition of "centre of life", but if I were an immigration officer, I would be very suspicious if your wife did not accompany you (unless of course, the intention is to show that you have split). "Center of life" logically does not mean just staying in another EEA country, but where your job, your bank accounts, personal estate is, not where a six month vacation is spent.pranjam wrote:Also on the SSR - to get your parents in to the UK is it important that your spouse lives with you in the european country as well because you can base your "centre of life" in the european country while your spouse visits you on weekends. Is this advisable/feasible?
