1. No
2. Need a history of successful 6 months visas so No.
3. None, 100% chance of refusal.

Oh! I thought 2. and 3. were related to "dependant" application. That's why I wrote "irrelevant".

please anyone can help me with this.

It is unclear as to whether you want to apply for a Adult Relative Dependant visa for your mother or a visit visa. Can you clarify?

If it is an Adult Dependant Relative visa, they are practically impossible to get. Only 34 applications have been successful in the last three years. You must prove that your mother needs basic care to look after with bathing, washing, etc AND that you can not pay for it in her home country. Given that in most countries you can pay for help, most applications are rejected on that score.

As for a visit visa, a 2 year visa is only given after a track record of successful six month visas. Even if it is given, your mother can only stay in the UK for less than the period that she has stayed in her home country. So, in any one year period, she can only stay in the UK for a maximum of six months and must spend the remaining six months in her home country.

UKV&I is particularly vigilant about people trying to stay in the UK on the basis of a visit visa. If the Immigration Officer at the airport gets the impression that she is using a visit visa to stay in the UK, he can cancel the visa on the spot and send your mother back home on the next flight out.

So, neither option is really suitable for you. If the children miss her, I'm afraid the next step is for them to visit her in her home country.

The advice above applies irrespective of whether it is your husband or you who are the sponsor. The key thing is that your mother should not be staying in the UK on the basis of a visit visa.

Surely you mean 3 OR 4 and not 34??

The JCWI reports that in response to an FoI request, they were advised that 34 ADR visas were issued between 1st November 2012 and 30th September 2013 (Page 8 of the JCWI report on ADR). But subsequent FoI requests through the WhatDoTheyKnow website have been declined on the grounds of costs.

Ahhhh, although likely decisions on applications that were made prior to the rule change in July 2012.

The 34 were granted leave under Appendix FM. However, apparently ECOs only granted six to ten visas, and so the rest must have won appeals.

I believe the majority of successes have been for applications submitted in countries where the cost of care is higher than the UK...the USA for example.

Hi, would be grateful if experts could consider my suggestion that your mum should apply in Domestic Servant category. I hope they will issue T-5 visa to your mum as domestic servant of your husband.
All you need is, you husband should earn a specific amount and can pay a minimum wages to your mum.

Applying for leave as a Domestic worker does not help as it no longer leads to settlement.

Sir vinny, she includes in her question that her husband is here for specific duration. They would not interested in settlement.

Apologies. My mistake.

Can she satisfy all the requirements?

WRK2.1.1 What are the requirements? wrote: be aged 18 to 65 inclusive

have been employed as a domestic worker for one year or more immediately before the application for entry clearance under the same roof as the employer or in a household the employer uses for themselves on a regular basis ...

thanks to all the replies and advice. well now i am planning to re-apply for 6 months visit with detailed clarifications to all their objections. plus i plan to add a detailed covering letter from our side and one from my mother explaining that we have no intention to settle or over stay in this country. in addition as someone advised me we plan to add evidence of our settled govt jobs back in our country with evidence of govt exchange duration as a evidence of our definite going back.
i need advice on these steps that i plan to take.
plus, as u people might know in Asian countries most of the transactions are made cash in hand and my mum used to submit saving after taking out expenditures from the income, and the immigration office had a objection that our bank entries did not match our income evidence. we plan to explain in detail in our covering letter, plus we r now submitting each income directly into bank and then withdrawing it to make entries. would this help out.
