Hello Guys,

I wanted to know about the process of sponsoring my mum in law who is in india, Me and my wife are here in UK since August and my daughter is back in india with my mum in law...my daughter has a tier 1 dependent visa, due to new jobs we are unable to go to INdia to get our daughter so alternatively want to get my mum in law here with my daughter....just wanted to know what is the process and first of all can i sponsor her???
my current status:
1) both my wife and me are working in permanent jobs
2) we don't own a house and living in a two bed room apartment
3)how much bank balance do i need to show in my account? and also can i use the funds in my account to support her?
4) can you let me know the paper work i will need like sponsorship letter(where i can find a sample)

i know its a lot of questions...but i have no clue how to go about this..really thanks to advice:)

regards

Do you mean you want your mother to come here on a visit to drop off your daughter or do you want to sponsor your mother as a dependent on your tier 1 visa? You can't do the latter.

I don't want to sponsor her on tier 1, i jsut want to get her a normal visit visa...if that is possible so she can come stay with us for a month or so dropp off my daughter and go back..she has been to UK three times before...thanks to advice greenieee

Yes it is possible. There is no set amount you need to have in your account but you need to show that you/she will have enough money to fund her stay and that she intends to return. If she has been here a s a visitor in the past this will help. Have a look on the UK visas website for further information on lie requirements and documents needed.

hey greenie...sorry to bother you mate...i tried googling it and got lot of relevant information and also the application form on ukba...however i couldn't find any website that can tell me what exact paper work i would require...
as per my understanding m sure i will need my bank statement, salary slips, a letter of sponsorship....

can you confirm if i hav a correct understand and also where can i find a format of sponsorship so that i can get some hint how to prepare it..

sorryy for being a pain..but m really try to sort this out...thanks mate
