Family visit visa for mom rejected

[ganesh2k_99]

Hello,

We have recently applied for visit visa for mum and it was rejected on the grounds that, ECO is not satisfied that my mom won't go back to India after 6 months. They have given that we can appeal

It was mistake from myside that we did not submit evidence on this. Now i am preparing enough evidence to show that she will go back to India.

My question is:
1.Whether to go ahead with appeal providing enough evidence that she will go back

or

2. To apply for a visa again- The reason : I don't know, when the appeal will be heard, when they will decide,etc

what is your suggestions on this?

Thanks

If you've now got her covered with "intent to return", then best you re-apply.
Advantage: Faster decision than appeal.
Disadvantage: You pay the application fee again.

Hi

Rozen-Thanks for your reply. I am planning to re-apply. Do you think, buying a return tickets will satisfy ECO apart from other documents?

Thanks

We strongly recommend that you do not buy a non-refundable ticket or confirm travel arrangements to come to the UK, until your visa application has been approved and you have received your visa.

As long as you have strong evidence proving that she will indeed return to her home country, which is why she was refused in the first place, that should be enough.
I think it is expensive and risky to buy the return ticket before the visa is granted, as she may be refused again (hopefully not) and most tickets are 'non-refundable'.
Good Luck!

Thanks. I will drop the idea of buying a ticket, but show other evidences of returning to India

hi ganesh, I am also in the process of applying for visitor visa fr my parents. Can you please let me know what documents are you attaching to prove the intent to return?

Similar to visitors to the USA, the applicant should show strong ties to outside the UK (i.e. - home country).

Hi poshah,

Since my mom is a houswife, I have checked many persons and this what the set of documents, we will be submitting

1. Translated land registration documents
2. Six months bank statement of my father
3. Copy of pension order
4. Copy of ration card, to show that she is living with her aged mother

Hopefully, these should be sufficient

Regards

Ganesh
