Thanks for the reply Vinny. I read through the docs, but its only general information, the only reason I'm asking is because there has been couple of cases offlate reported by my frends and their frends regarding successive application.
Many thanks for your reply mulderpf, as stated in the topic, my mother-in-law is a govt servant and she can produce a leave letter from her employer showing the duration of leave. Besides she can also produce ration card, and prove that she has to look after her aged mother and father who're dependent on her. I think she can also produce a doctors certificate for that.mulderpf wrote:Be very careful with your application. When you stated that you might want them to come for a year, what ties do they have back home if they are able to just go for a year? You have to prove that they have ties back home and do not intend to stay in the UK indefinitely. Especially with such a long holiday, it might be very difficult to prove!
Also, I was looking for this info but couldn't find it now, but I have read of people on here who were in a similar situation to you where the parents were refused a visa because they would be caring for the grandchild (e.g. working), rather than just visiting.
Brilliant, that's spot on batleykhan! exactly the information i was looking for. I would definitely take your advise and make sure the purpose of the visit is altered to visiting grandchild and us instead of childcare. It makes a lot more sense now. One thing though, lets say the inlaws are granted visa for 6 months, can they then go back to India and apply for second term asap or does that sound likely for a refusal? Many thanks for your response.batleykhan wrote:Your inlaws can come for a maximum 6 months on a visitors visa. There is no 12 months visa at all.
Your inlaws need to show they have good incentives to return home. The ones that you have outlined seems quite reasonable to me that they will infact return back home.
You need to produce documents to prove what you have said above to send with their application.
One word of advise, I would personally not make a mention of your wifes pregnancy and that she is expecting as quite often that leads the ECO to believe that your parents are probally coming here to look after their grandchildren and they can wronfully assume that to be some form of employment. A few people have been refused for this. Just say that you wish your inlaws wishes to meet you and your family as well as grandkids that they have yet not seen. That is more plausible reason to visit in my opinion.
Once they have been here 2-3 times then you may consider a longer term visiotor visa ( 2 & 5 yrs visa). However on any visitor visa they can only stay 6 months in a 12 month period
If you decide to appeal, there is no chance that they will receive a visa in time to be with you in the next 4 weeks.psridh wrote:What I'd like to know is what options do I have now, given that my mrs is due to deliver in less than months time and I was so hoping atleast her mother would be here by that time.
Dear Pravin, Congratulations for sorting out the visa. May I request you to post the list of documents you submitted as Sponser.psridh wrote:Hi All,
Finally the inlaws VISA has been stamped, they re-applied on the 6th April and received the passport yesterday 29th April. This time around I got them to make a fresh application stating I was going to sponsor their entire trip and provided all supporting docs. That was it. Me and Mrs very happy that my mom in law could make it in time for the delivery.
Thanks a lot for all your help and advise.
