hsmp_distressed wrote:Hello Everyone,
In response to my earlier post, I was told that I cannot file for my dependent mother under HSMP. I want to understand then how do I go about doing it? Has anyone ever done something like this -- I bet a lot have. Please help me out people. Is there a chance that if mother files for an independent visitor/tourist visa that'd work? I am told these last for 6 months. That'd do for me for now. Any help is very appreciated, or u can send me a private message as well.
But, this will be as visitor. She will not have dependent status. She needs to return back, after some time(I'm not sure if it's 3 months or 6 months).pdeshpande wrote:Dear hsmp_distressed,
You can bring your mother in 3-4 months after you reach UK and secure a job. Basically you will need to prove to the EC officer that you will be able to financially support your mother and not claim any public funds. For this you will need to show your UK employment details like appt. letter, salary slips etc.
Also, for your mother, you may show any investments done by her, your house details(copy of agreement etc.), her bank account statements. Basic aim is as I said you will be able to support her financially in the UK.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
pdeshpande

They applied from India and submitted a letter from me stating that I have enough funds and accomodation to take care of them while they are here and also providing details of my bank account and proof of work along with my spouse's as well...they got a 6 months visa...

This idea may or may not work always and there are chances of jeopardising further visits to the UK...pranjam wrote: It again is not very difficult what you can dois get your parents another tourist visa of say france send them to france for one day and then they can return the next day to UK for another 6 months this is not my idea but I was given this by an agent i dont know how feasible this is but it sounds good to me.
Yes, I agree with you.

Definition of dependents is different in India from other countries. You should not expect other countries should consider this.pranjam wrote: HSMP has a real drawback in this sense that u cant take ur parents with you.
Yes, and that defines spouse and children under 18 as dependent. Not parents.pranjam wrote:I think the legal definitions of a dependant are pretty much the same everywhere
