Hello all,

My mother-in-law is applying from Pakistan. I need some explanation under the 'Income and expenditure' section of family visit visa application :-

How much do you spend each month on living costs?
Does this include living costs or only food and other expenditures?

What is the cost to you personally of your trip in GBP(£)?
Is this per month or the whole duration of stay in UK?

The cost of your living expenses
Is this in UK or home country ? If UK, Is this per month or whole duration of stay?

What is the total amount in GBP(£)?

Thanks.

1. How much do you spend each month on living costs? - Your average spend every month, you can include food etc, just a total number needs to be added
2. What is the cost to you personally of your trip in GBP(£)? - Entire trip
3. The cost of your living expenses - UK, Entire cost (You have already mentioned cost in your local country in q1.)
4. What is the total amount in GBP(£)? Where is this question? I have looked at the form and can't seem to find this question in the income/expense section.

Thanks htc_123 for your reply.

4. What is the total amount in GBP(£)? Where is this question? I have looked at the form and can't seem to find this question in the income/expense section.

This is the last question in the 'Employment and Income' section. I am filling the online form at the visa4uk.fco.gov.uk website.

Also, these questions:-

The cost of your accommodation foreign type language removed by moderator

She would be staying with me, so assume this should be £0.00

The cost of your living expenses foreign type language removed by moderator
Is this all expenses in UK ?

Please explain why they are paying towards the cost of your trip?
What reason can be given for son-in-law paying for part of her trip? Isn't this just 'normal'?

Have you made an application to the Home Office to remain in the UK in the last 10 years?
Is this only for in-country extension or does this mean any visa refusal from outside the UK too?

[Saga]

I am submitting the following

From Pakistan
Cover letter -- explaining the cash deposits in the applicant's bank account
House ownership document - Original
Bank statements (applicant's name) - 6 months
Bank statements (son who is financial supporter in pak) - 6 months
NADRA Family Tree

From UK
Cover letter -- declaring sponsorship
My employment letter
My bank statements - 3 months
Gas/Electricity bill showing house address

Anything else to be added to show financial / personal ties to the country?

[zkashan]

Does anyone have any new timeline for visit visas?

Hi,
I want to apply for my mum's family visitor visa. I am british national and she had visited uk once in the past. I am self employed with a private ltd company. Can anyone please let me know what documents do we need to submit to support her application? She'll be applying from Pakistan.

Thanks

[zkashan]

My mothers visa was rejected first time. I'm waiting for second time. You'll need to submit bank statment, proof of source of funds for trip, proof of monthly income, assets - land/stocks etc.., occupation. Dependents and proof they exist like other young siblings, sponsor letter, your income, bank statement, and proof of address. They will call you in 2 working days to confirm if you've sponsored anyone and a week or two later they'll conclude the application. If they conclude 1-5 days after the sponsor call, there is a good chance I think the visa has been refused.

[seekit]

Thank you for quick response. As I am sponsoring her, does she need to show her bank statements? She is dependant on my brother in pakistan and lives with him. She is a widow. She has a property on her name. I can ask her to get Family tree document from Nadra as well. Do I need to show my salary slips or accountant letter or 6 months bank statements are sufficient? Also how much money should be there in bank and for how long? for example do I need to maintain a certain balance for 3 or 6 months to be able to sponsor?

hi
i have tried for business
i submitted my passport on 4th of Feb
i got email from Abu Dhabi on 7th on Feb (his email is to notify you that your UK visa application is now being prepared for assessment by an Entry Clearance Officer.)
then i got email on 17th of Feb (your visa application has been concluded)

[zkashan]

Sameer. I think the emails are generic. More days it took, indicate you passed the initial checks and your application was given more consideration. I'm also waiting on the email. What time (Pakistani time) did you get the email?

Thanks Razi for your help, Interview Done over the phone, as on given date application couldn't reach to the application centre due to some protests. So, after 2 days interview was done over the phone. They asked most of questions from application centre and went in detail about financial statement.
They also asked about family and about sponsor and questions about children in the UK etc to check how strong is the link.
Today received the eMail application has been concluded. Now, waiting for call to collect the passport. Hopefully, with visa granted.

Hi guys,

I missed the details of last passport from latest when filling out my application form for visit visa.

It's now submitted and appointment booked.

Can it be updated or would I need to start a new application? Is it worth the hassle or shall I leave it ?

Thanks
