Family visitor visa - Agriculture income

[Jasminedutta]

I am willing to sponsor my sister-in-law to visit us in the UK. Her income comes from Agriculture land in India and she doesn't do any regular 5-9 jobs.

• for a Family visitor visa, what should be her employment status? will it be 'SELF Employed' or 'Unemployed' ?

The very reason for asking this question is sometimes income transactions do happen via bank transfer and most of the time it will be cash transactions. Confusion around here is, what should I mention the 'Actual Income'.

I am thinking to show only Bank transactions as actual yearly income, even though it's a very little part of her actual income?

You cannot sponsor anyone to come to the UK as a visitor. Such a concept does not exist. If your sister-in-law is unemployed then she is unemployed. You can receive income without being employed. It is her responsibility to provide as much evidence to convince a visa officer that she intends to come here as a visitor and return home before visa expiry. You simply can help her provide more evidence that she has a place to stay and she may not face financial difficulties in the UK
