One of my colleagues has made an application just before the rule changes in July. That fee is correct. They are still waiting for an answer. I'm not sure what the success rate is as I know the criteria is very high.Viv1000 wrote:I was just going through the application form - is it right that the application fees for a dependant parent is now GBP1,850.....phew.....? and is there a English language requirement even for dependant parents?
Separately, has anyone made a recent application - pls could you share your experiences...
Hi Zaman, You would need to make the application from outside the UK. You need to show that your parents are unable to do basic tasks such as cooking, dressing themselves etc. Please see link below for further detailszamanam wrote:Hi there,
I want to apply for Dependent visa (outside UK) for my parents both alive and together and over 65 and financially dependent on us. Seems immigration law favors only widowed or single parents…!
My brother and I both have ILR/British Nationality. We are well settle, earning £65000+ per annum; I owned a 3 bed property and living alone. My parents does not have anybody particularly to look after them in their country, they used to have another unmarried brother who used to look after them, but now he is moving to China for business.
We send money to them regularly via bank and cash and have records of bank transaction. In this situation is there any possible way that we can apply dependent visa for my parents? Should we apply from outside UK or within UK as they are visiting us in Mar hopefully.
Thanks
Zaman
They changed the rules on the 9th of July 2012 to make it harder for elderly parents to settle here. Now you have to prove that they are unable to look after themselves, that the correct care is not available in your home country even if you were to pay for it etc. I would go to see a solicitor. But if they are only financially dependent on you they wil not be able to apply just on that basis.zamanam wrote:HI Thanks
But they can do basic things in life it just they are on their own and financially dependent on us and that’s why we want them to be here.
Is this same as indefinite leave to enter - - ILT?
Thanks

Just wanted to make all affected aware that a Parliamentary inquiry has been launched to explore the impact these new rules are having on family migration including that on elderly dependents.
It would be extremely useful if all affected could share their views on -

Hi Ssharma, Can I ask when you applied. How long did it take to reach the decision? Did they give you appeal rights?ssharma wrote:Elderly dependant Visa for my parents (Age 63 and 60) got rejected recently....no reason given. They did through checks and found that the care they need is available in our country for penny's.
There are more chances if parent is a Widowed or have serious illness or disability.

Hi Khanz, if you listen to the mp3 http://www.migrantsrights.org.uk/blog/2 ... next-stepskhanz wrote:I would appreciate if anyone can reply my question in the last post.
Thanks
Yes good idea if you can prove she is independent enough to want go back. I'd apply asap for visitor visa because once the Crime & Courts bill is passed family visitors will no longer have appeal rights if visa refused.khanz wrote:One option seems for now, is to apply for family visitors visa for two years as she already has visited UK twice on 6 months visa each time.
Frankly I am not sure these rules will change. As indicated in the reply to this letter The reply sums up the government attitude.khanz wrote:Being optimistic, after getting two years multiple visa, we can wait for any relaxation or amendment to be made by the government in the dependent visa category for parents. IF this happens then we can go for dependent visa at some later stage.
