hi, its the same reason that they gave my sister in law. In the end we won. You need to show that they are wrong by showing evidence your mum will return. If applicable--show how much family she has back in India to go back to, does she have any dependants in India that she needs to go back for, has she any savings to show, any job (unlikely i know), make a big deal about the fact she has previously been and returned ON TIME--what has changed since the last visit??
with the refusal there should have been further details about why they refused it on these points....make sure you have arguments and if possible evidence to disprove everything they have said.
I also found that at our appeal the home office representing officer tried to go through all the criteria again, even though the refusal was on the same grounds as yours.
Make sure you take all the original evidence to show things like your income, proof of accomodation, reason for the visit.
The court itself can look a little daunting but I would suggest you have a word with the clerk and ask if you can sit in the public area to see a case that is similar to yours before you go in for yours, that way you will know what to expect.
If you have any further questions, post here or pm me with yr email address and i will try to assist further.
