help: Use family visitor or general visitor application

Hi All

I Want to apply visit application to my mum in law. I leave in UK from 2009 under working visa Tier 2 general. from 1 April 2014 UKBA made some changes to family visitor application for elegibilty. so I'm confused do I need to apply for family visitor or general visitor.

Is there any one can help me please?

Regards

If you are on a Tier 2 visa, it is a general visitor visa.

Requirements for a Family visitor visa is:

Your family member must also be one of the following:

a British citizen
settled in the UK
granted asylum in the UK
under humanitarian protection in the UK

As you don't say whether you have ILR as yet and only state Tier 2, family visit visa does not apply to you.

Hi All Gurus out there.

I have a big query.

My niece, my sister and my cousin are coming to visit me next month. They came over 2 years ago (May 2012) under Family Visitor visa.

Last month they fill the application online and they all went for family visitor. They fill the application form and it allowed them to fill the whole application under Family Visitor. They are going to the British Emabassy this coming Friday for the appointment and I just found out that my niece and cousin should be applying under a dirferent category (VAF1A) whih is as a normal tourist. We dont know what to do right now as everything is booked done and completed online. They live far away from the capital and plane tickets and hotel are all booked too.

Any suggestion?

The only thing that occurs to me is for my niece and cousin to fill in the VAF1A form and bring it with them to the appointment on Friday 8th May.

Can anyone shed a light on this.

I am a resident permanent in this country (ILR)

Many thanks and regards,
