Actually she only wants to stay here till October end after which she will head back to her own country, do you think we can take an appointment at the embassy to request the extension of her stay..she does have the valid visa.Wanderer wrote:Highly risky - the IO will want to ensure she is a 'genuine visitor' and not effectively living here.
The normal Rule of Thumb is 6 months in every 12 for a visitor, the call you have it make is what will the IO think, and is she a genuine visitor?
Very difficult to extend a VV unless under very extreme circs, are they any compelling reasons why she must stay longer?High Profile wrote:Actually she only wants to stay here till October end after which she will head back to her own country, do you think we can take an appointment at the embassy to request the extension of her stay..she does have the valid visa.Wanderer wrote:Highly risky - the IO will want to ensure she is a 'genuine visitor' and not effectively living here.

She already has a Schengen visa for one year, so that will not be the problem, yes I was thinking the same that she is legally allowed to be here for 6 months 'every visit to the UK' - as it explicitly says that on their website. I could not find the rule where she has to stay here only for 6 months in a 12 month period inspite of having a 5 year visa to the UK. If you happen to see this on the website please do point it out to me.talha1611 wrote:Hi
You can take her to France for few day and come back and she can still legally stay here for six months but visa officer at airport could ask ask any question, so be ready for that. Also she needs a schengen visa to visit Europe. She won't be able to get schengen visa from UK as rules say you have to apply from your home country
More than 6 months out of 12 is running the gauntlet a bit- it seems your mother would be in the UK for 10 months out of 12 (you haven't given exact dates).4. FREQUENCY AND DURATION OF VISITS
There is no restriction on the number of visits a person may make to the United Kingdom nor any requirement that a specified time must elapse between successive visits. The fact that a person has made a series of visits with only brief intervals between them would not, in the absence of any other relevant factors, constitute sufficient ground for refusal. It is reasonable, however, for the immigration officer to consider the stated purpose of the visit in the light of the length of time that has elapsed since previous visits. A visitor should not, for example, normally spend more than 6 out of any 12 months in this country (but see Section 3 of this chapter in the case of visitors for private medical treatment). Occasionally, a business visitor may require to stay for a period of weeks or even months (eg where machinery is being installed or faults being diagnosed and corrected). The immigration officer should be satisfied, however, that a person's presence here on business for more than 6 out of any 12 months does not mean that he is basing himself here ..........
