Hi,
I and my wife are shortly expecting our first baby and wanted to apply for a visitor visa for her mother (who is Indian) to visit us. We wanted to apply for a 2-year visitor visa, because we plan to have her visit for short periods, over the coming few years as the baby grows, etc.
We were planning for my wife to sponsor her as she is in full-time employment with a sufficient salary - but we are worried that as she is going on maternity leave soon if we mention the baby as part of the reason why we are applying for a 2-year multi-visit visa, that they may question her financial situation and her ability to support her mothers trip here.
So in that case I would also co-sponsor - but as a contractor, I would have to get a letter from my account, proof of directorship, bank statements, and dividend slips - which seems overly complicated.
So I am here asking the advice of the people here -
1) Should we mention that my wife is having a child on the visa application
2) if we do, will they take the maternity leave into account in her capacity to sponsor?
3) if they do, are the documents above I mention sufficient for me to co-sponsor (my company has been operating since October 2020 so almost 4 years of accounts now).
Thank you for your time.
