I believe so.BCMN1 wrote:So ECO can cancel their current visitor visa if the other application is refused?
This is the hard part. To the best of the common knowledge on these forums, the Adult Dependent Relatives visas that have been successful have been from countries like the US, with health care much more expensive than the UK.Casa wrote:I should mention that although medical evidence may support the need for care, what you will still have to justify is that care isn't available for them both in their home country...or if it is available, it's unaffordable (i.e a higher cost than in the UK).
The IO (Immigration Officer) at the airport can curtail or modify a pre-existing visa issued by an ECO (Entry Clearance Officer) in an embassy/consulate if the circumstances of the person to whom such leave has been granted change. In theory, they can even be sent back from the airport directly to their country of normal residence.BCMN1 wrote:So ECO can cancel their current visitor visa if the other application is refused?
They don't have this right in the UK and HO/UKVI don't make visa decisions based on emotions. They will say that you can relocate back to your home country to support your family. Harsh as it sounds, it is reality with this particular visa.My argument is financial support in foreign country vs. right to private life in the UK(where elderly parents need more moral support rather than financial and want to be close their children).
I am sure that that view is appreciated on these forums. But the Rules quite clearly state the requirements and the ECOs base their decisions on the Rules, as they should. We are a country that has the rule of law, not of emotions. If you disagree with the Rules, campaign online, lobby your MP, cast your vote, get the Rules changed, but until such a time that the Rules do change, they are the law and that is what the ECO ought to follow.BCMN1 wrote:in my case moral support is more essential than financial support
There are many ways to look at this statement. The way the government would look at this areBCMN1 wrote:right to private life in the UK(where elderly parents need more moral support rather than financial and want to be close their children).
How close are the relatives (in terms of degrees of affinity or consanguity)? Are they your siblings or your mother's siblings? If so, can your mother not move within the country to stay near them? Are there no institutional care homes in that country?BCMN1 wrote:All our relatives live atleast 100miles away from our home town and its not practical for them to provide any permanent support to my mother and brother.
2 X 5 year visitor visas @ £600 eachCasa wrote:How were the visa fees so high?
It is also clearly documented in guidance in puvlic domain so hardly a surprising nor baseless reason.Casa wrote:Unfortunately, staying in the UK longer than the time requested when applying for a visitor visa is a now a common reason for refusing subsequent application.
