Mother in Law - Adult Dependant Relative

Hi,

Suggestion is much appreciated.

My Wife is the sole child for my Mother-In-Law (She is a Widower).She has not been keeping well for the past 6 months (Brain Clot) and is finding it difficult to do day to day chores.

She has visited us in 2015 as family visitor and stayed for a little less than 6 months.As part of evidence,we have shown the ties she has for the home country along with the pension she receives.

If I were to make an application as an Adult Dependant Relative are there any chances for the applicaiton to be accepted ?

Zero.

Very slim to zero. This route to settlement has been virtually closed since the Rules changed in July 2012.

It's not just a case of proving that your MIL needs daily care for simple tasks. You also have to prove that the necessary care either isn't available in her home country, or is unaffordable (for you).

If your MIL applies and is refused it will result in all visitor visa applications also being refused due to the prior intention to settle.
