Mother's visa rejected. Is there an other way?

[ishameeque]

Hi
My mother applied for a six months visit visa at Chennai, India to come and visit me. But her visa was rejected based on the following facts.

1.Both her children, that is, me and my sister are settled in the UK.
2.My father is no more and she has no one to go back to except a few relatives like my aunts. They are all living togother.
3.Altough she has a bank deposits, that was not taken into account.

Is there anyother type of visa which she can apply that will enable her to visit me?. Or, is it just the case that she can never come to the UK as long as myself and my sis are here?. Any info would be of great help.
Regards

Re-apply addressing the issues raised.

No need to appeal.

In my opinion - the ECO is just being a pain in the backside

The ECO needs to be satisfied that your mum is coming as a "genuine visitor", and that she has an intention to leave the UK after when due. Is your Mum working or a Pensioner ? The ECO may be of the impression that because you and your sister are settled in UK and because your Mum has no other financial source apart from yourselves then she may likely vary the terms of her visit visa by seeking to settle in UK.

Depending on your UK status you could alternatively apply for a Settlement visa (for parents over 65/or under 65 on compassionate grounds) for your mum if that is the planned end-game of her visit.

Or you re-apply for the visit visa but you have to address the issue of satisfying the ECO that your mum has good reasons for returning home,for instance she may own a house that she collects rent,or oversee's a family business/farm,etc.
