Elderly mother (widow) dependant

[Loslon]

Please advise... I'm on ILR, want to apply ADR settlement for my mother 71 yrs old (widow) US (Green Card). She is in the UK on visit visa and my dependant. She has no one in the USA to take care of her.

Mere dependence is not enough.

You need to prove that
(a) she needs daily assistance with basic personal functions such as bathing, cleaning, washing up, etc.
AND
(b) that such care/assistance is either unavailable or unaffordable in her country of habitual residence.

The Adult Dependent Relative visa is one of the most difficult to get and has a refusal rate (after appeals) of ~80%.

Also, even just applying for the visa (even if refused) will lead to all future visit visas being refused as the applicant (your mother) has indicated a desire to reside in the UK, not just visit.

Thank you indeed, I do not want to jeopardise her visit Visa in future.
Furthermore can you advise how to delete this post?
