Congratulations and thanks for sharing information.

Can I ask on question on Fixed Deposit. Did they submit supporting letter from Bank Manager saying FDs can be encashed anytime and are not locked under any bond period?

Thanks.

Hi jkks,
Could you help us with this information please?

In which part of the application form VAF1B, you specified that your parents are going to stay in the hotel.

Thanks

hi jkks,
But if I am not wrong, 8.4 asks for relative's address rather than the address where you would stay. Is it not a problem as you have done it?
8.4 Please name the relative you will stay with and provide exact details of your relationship to them along with their
full address (including postal code), contact telephone numbers (including country and area codes) and details of their
permission to be in the UK
Or would it be okay to specify this in the additional details section

Thanks,

Usually, UKBA wants to see last three bank statements, to access your financial status (your ability to support/sponsor visitor). You may be able to support them on Accomodation requirement (using Tenancy agreement). However, they (visitor) will have to support themselves for flight tickets, food and other daily expenses.

-- I can see your point, however the visitor wants to visit us but they would be staying in hotel. In this case we cant specify the relative name in this section.

I also bit scared after applying it, anyway the application got successful.

Hi jkks,

My parents are applying for family visitor visa in August. May I ask you did you send originals of your bank statements & Pay slips or they were photocopies?

Thanks for your help.
