What evidence of strong ties to home country will they submit (ie employment, financial, property, social etc etc)??

Do you support them financially by sending them money regularly??

There is nothing you have said that is causing any great concern.
As long as there is more to return home to rather than to stay in the UK that is the main consideration.
I am assuming you are paying for everything to get to UK and their costs while here.
