Family Visitor timeline

[malsuk]

Hi,

I hold T1-G visa.
I would like to bring my mother as family visitor. She has visited us once from Feb 2010 to June 2010 and stayed for 4 months. I would like to apply for 2 year visa so that she can enter multiple times without applying each time. But my visa expires in Nov 2011. Will that be a problem.
Will it be refused? or
Will we be granted with a short term visa say 6 months? or
till the period my visa holds valid?

I heard that 1-year visa has been removed recently.
Thanks in advance.

I doubt that your mother would be granted a family visitor visa beyond the expiry of your own UK residence permit.

Actually it is possible. One of my family members got visa that extended 2 years past the end of my HSMP (it was a couple of years ago).
