I am planning to call my parents in the UK on a dependent visa. Whats the procedure like- what forms are to be filled, whats the documentation requirement. Pls advice. Also what are the chances of getting the dependant visa for parents approved and if say the dependant visa is rejected ...can the parents still apply for a tourist visa...Dont want to be in a situation where they cannot enter the UK.

Jai Jawan,

I am also from India and I had the same question, as my mother is dependent on me. I had asked this quesdtion to Britih High Commission office, Mumbai via email, and they replied that, I can not take her as my dependent, but can definitely invite her on Visitor VISA.

Is it possible after the ILR or naturalization to bring the dependent parents? Are there any other restrictions? They may allow some cases on compassonate grounds...not quite sure...

Regards
Chandra

YEs CHandra,

After ILR you can invite your dependant parents as dependent on your VISA. And i have even ehard that even while the first year or the four years you can try gettign them there, but for that you must have patience and acourage to fight (i mean to communicate strongly). Don't know if anyone has experience of getting his/her dependants during the initial four years of HSMP.

Have a search on the immigration for family members section of this site, think this topic has been covered in quite a lot of detail.

From what I remember reading in the past it is very difficult to bring members of your family as dependents, even once you get ILR or even BC. For parents think they have to be over 65 and completely dependent on you alone, i.e. have no remaining family members in their home country, so if you have siblings or cousins back home its difficult to prove they have no one else to rely on. This is only what I remember reading in the past though, sure there are a lot of other factors that are taken into account.
