Refusal of Visit Visa

[ALKB]

As others have already mentioned, it is important to be able to convince the ECO that your auntie will be leaving UK after the sho the short visit. You know (from personal knowledge) that she will leave UK. She knows that from her personal circumstances. But the ECO has only the documents to go by. The ECO wants to see some compelling reasons that she will leave UK. It is this part of the puzzle your auntie has to complete. You as a sponsor has very little influence in the process. Thousands of visitors visit UK every year. And not all of them would have been sponsored by their relatives. But most of them visit for a few weeks. Visa is issued for six months though.

Thanks for your response. Much appreciated.


For maintenance/financial circumstances : Since i am sponsoring my aunt, do you i think if i show my payslips/bank statements and sponsorship letter then there is no need to show my aunt's bank statements (she is unemployed).

Regarding my aunt going back to India on time : We are planning to show land registration documents on her name and also on my uncle's name. This includes the land/home registered on my uncle;s name in india. Also planning to get a networth certificate from a chartered accountant to prove that she will leave UK on time. Make sense?

An aunt is a bit of a different case than parents. Having an extended family member visit for such a long time sounds unlikely - I certainly wouldn't want any of my aunts in my home for more than a week or two.

You aunt doesn't seem to be unemployed. To me, it looks like she is a housewife/homemaker.

Unemployed = in between jobs/looking for a job (possibly in the UK? There go ECO's alarm bells!)

Housewife = supported by spouse, not looking to change that.

How would an accountant prove that she would leave the UK?

Thanks for your response/comments.

Yes correct she is a homemaker and she never worked before. She was supported by my uncle in India and that's why she never had a bank account and recently she opened one. There were lands registered on her name. The reasons i was thinking to give or we have given to ECO were my aunt will return to India becasue
1) she is leaving her husband in India while coming to UK
2) Now with reapplication thought of showing networth certificate with moveable and immoveable assests on my uncle and aunts name and this will indicate there is no reason for aunt to stay in the UK forever as she has properties/monies back in India. I reckon this indirectly prove that she will go back.
3) All her family members like sisters, brothers are in India.

Since she is not working/homemaker i cant say she will go back to india because she has a job. I dont know the other means of proving this to ECO.

Does your auntie have her children and rest of her family back home? Does your uncle need to be supported by her in the bigger scheme of things? Are their other compelling reasons why she needs to go back? These are the kinds of questions I have asked myself when applying for visas (successfully) for my mother grandmother and auntie at different times. They were all 'housewife' when they applied. My father had passed away at time of my mother's recent two visits. On every application we mentioned a month's visit. And all stayed for just a month (nothing much to do after a few weeks of sightseeing).
I provided my payslips 3 months, one utility bill for proof of address and copies of my BRP (ILR). All were scanned and emailed which they printed and included with their application.
On the other hand, my cousins was refused last year. He was not diligent with his own documents from his business. But subsequently my in laws have got theirs again for the third time in four years, from India and both retired.

Hope these give you some ideas.
