General Visitor - Questions

Post by brandnew » Thu Sep 12, 2013 3:34 pm

I want to invite my in-laws to visit us for Christmas. I am a British National, can you advice me under which category should they apply for visa?

1) General Visitor - Form VAF1A
2) Family Visitor - Form VAF1B


Thanks

As per the guidelines son-in-law doesn't qualify for family and my wife is not a settled person, can they still apply under Family Category? Experts please comment.

To come to the UK as a family visitor, you must be able to show that you will be visiting the following family members in the UK:

spouse, civil partner, father, mother, son, daughter, brother or sister;
grandfather, grandmother, grandson or granddaughter;
spouse or civil partner's father, mother, brother or sister;
son or daughter's spouse or civil partner;
stepfather, stepmother, stepson, stepdaughter, stepbrother or stepsister; or
a person you have been living with in a genuine and subsisting relationship, like marriage or civil partnership, for at least 2 years before the day you apply.
