Can you provide some more information? -

1) Which Country are you planning to visit from ?
2) Your Nationality
3) Your minor sons Nationality?
4) Where does your son live?
5) Are you planning to visit your son who lives in the UK?

Hi samriti2u, Thank you for your time to reply,

I'm from Philippines, a Filipino citizen, My son is British Citizen and holding a British passport as his father is a british national,my son lives with me at the moment, i took him here in the Philippines as no one will look after him in UK while am here, coz his father has a full time job, I have no plan to go back to UK anymore after my student visa expired but because of my son I decided to accompany him to visit his father and relatives in UK for just a few weeks, My first application was refused due to lack of social and economic tie in the country, but actually i have a strong tie as i have my eldest son who is studying here as well as I have a wee business to look up too..am just confused about the refusal as I applied for a Family permit but on the refusal it was stated there Visit visa general, it is the same? thats why I'am quite confused if which visa category do I need to apply (family or General)? and it is possible to apply without a sponsor coz i will shoulder all our expenses for our visit..and also it is possible to apply for a 2 years visa rather than the 6 months route? Thanks
