So you're saying there's no harm in mentioning this? but what about risk of child minding suspicion? The reason they were refused every time was due to their personal and financial circumstances as they don't have well maintained bank account and family ties. So i sponsored them fully but still no l...

Be very careful in applying for your parents, and yes you'll have problem of accommodation if you're in one bed flat.

Also what i've heard is to not mention pregnancy as they assume you're bringing them for child minding.

Good luck!

Another update: Just called almost 8-10 different OICS consultants and they all said you can't do that. You should make two separate applications one for yourself and another one for your wife in Jan,12.

Another thing, i couldn't find any one on the board who has done the same.

I agree and i know there are cases where here they've done it but its very risky. I would have gone for it if there was a way to apply in person as at least in that case i could have explain to them in detail but via post its all down to case worker. Yes instead of saving around £400 i'll lose £90...

Its risky as it all depends on case worker but worth trying for, as its not just the money you'll save but also time and effort in doing to doing two separate applications.

I'll wait till Jaunary and apply for all the family together with a covering letter explaining the situation.

Just spoke to HomeOffice Nationality contact centre and they said you can't do it as on the day of application you're not British Citizen so it won't work.

Also spoke to immigration agent he said yes you can do a joint application in January.

I'm really confused now! :(
