your mother had a travel history , therefore, she applied for 2 years visa ..
My mother has also been travelling to UK and we are now considering to apply 2 years visa .
But no matter if you r granted 2 years visa or 6 months visa, all the visitors have to stay less then 180 days...

May I know how long (months) your mother stayed in UK on her first visit??

Thanks
Thanks my mother wrote 6 week stay last time but she stayed 3 months and 20 days ladt time and now we wrote 4 weeks stay

Just wanted to thank people here for their insight. I was checking and re-checking this forum religiously for the past week. Applied for a 5 year visit visa on priority.
Got a 'not straightforward case' email on Wednesday the 24th of June. That freaked me out. My sister in London got a verification call the same day in the evening. Got a 'visa app concluded' email on Sat the 27th. Gerrys called me today, went to collect my passport (felt like I would throw up and faint in the car and while waiting to get my passport) I got my visa! Thank God. Now I can sleep in peace. This forum is very helpful and consoled me in my week of stress!

Hi, If you and and your sister are under 18 years and dependant on your father then only your father's bank statement will be sufficient for all of you. But if you are over 18 then the ECO want to see everybody's bank statement. This is what happend in my sister's case.
When two or three people want to travel together and apply for VISA. The documents will in go in one file to the ECO.
Hope it will help.

only 1 bank statement is enough. with more than 50 lakh with each transaction should be explained, where it has come from.. proper evidence. also if ur father do job his salary should me more than 1.5 lakh. your sister holiday letter and ur holiday letter. remember each big transaction in your fathers account should be explained that where this money has come from. also family ties should be shown like property documents. nadra certificate.

your father is business man.. so he should shown his business account and personal account as well.. proper evidence of business NTN.LETTER HEADS, BUSINESS CARDS. BUSINESS ACCOUNT

Can anyone help with this refusal please because this ECO upset me with this refusal.
I invite my daddy to visit me and my family in UK for 2 weeks. Below are the document I sent to him
1. Invitation letter & sponsorship letter
2. My partner passport, my daughter passport and my passport pages
3. My payslip & my partner payslip for 6month both almost £2200 per month
4. My house agreement & water bill
5. My bank account statement £2,800 & my credit card statement with limit of £3000
6. My employment letter and my partner employment letter

Father side
1. Employment letter
2. Annul leave letter
3. Bank account almost £331
4. House properties
5. Tax clearance

In my sponsorship letter I mention that I will pay for all the expenses include ticket
And the ECO rang me from Sheffield UK and interview me and he asked me who is going to pay for flight ticket and I confirm it that I will pay for the ticket. Which is satisfied with it according to him that day. But it surprise me when My daddy went to collect his document and it was refused.
Below is refusal letter
I have considered
1. your application and any additional relevant information you have provided with it
2. Your immigration history
3. An interview with your son (sponsor name)

The decision
You are seeking to enter the UK for 2 weeks to visit your son. You have stated that your son is providing accommodation for your visit and I am satisfied he is able to do son
You list the cost of this visit to you personally as £470. As evidence of available funds you have provided bank statement in your name with a balance £331. From the information on your application form and the documents you have submitted, you have not demonstrated that you have funds available for your proposed visit.

But in the form I mention it there that I will be paying for trip but On number 78. of the form which says "the cost of aeroplane" which I mention £470 for the cost of ticket.
Can anyone help me with this please. What can I do with it, I want to reapply and I need a cover letter to back it up. If anyone can help me with covering letter I will be very happy.
Just lodge a complaint to Home Office through letter and email, I have done the same as they refused Family visit visa for my parents. The reason given was complete bogus, either they are not competent enough or just trying to make money by refusing everyone's application.
Hi I agree, they are just making money and using people hard earned money. UKVI are refusing people as thinking they are all fine and rest of the world is idiot. So in competent UKVI staff

I'm with you musfah - the reasons were very absurd for my SIL and MIL. It shows incompetency of the ECO, on one paragraph he says you are unemployed and same paragraph he says "your income" really are you SERIOUS!!!

The ECO could not even read the name on the statement. I have complained as well and will not give UP and I intended to start a page on social media if the issue is not resolved and proper logical reasons are provided. I've just wasted £336

If you ever intend to take an action i.e go to them, have more than 1 person join the complaint I'll be more than happy to join, please PM me.
AGREED WITH YOU

When I looked at the refusal letter I started laughing once :)

"You have said that your friend in the United Kingdom will help you with this visit by paying for your maintenance and accommodation whilst you are in the United kingdom and I am satisfied that he is in a position to do so. But whilst I take that into account in assessing your proposed maintenance and accommodation in the United Kingdom that is only one aspect of the visitor rules and this sponsorship does not satisfy me of your own intention to leave the United Kingdom on completion of your visit"

FRIEND??? you kidding me?? I am son of my father not friend. Properties documents attached aren't ties to country?? fully incompetent.. and at point he mentioned your daughter live in United Kingdom.... What !!!!!! again joke??? I am SON not Daughter.
AGREED .. THEY ARE A******

AoA all.

I submitted an application to sponsor my sister on Monday @ Mirpur VAC.

At what point will the applicant receive an acknowledgement that the application has been sent/received at the embassy?

For some reason the mirpur vac have clearly not bothered to keep me posted even after paying the charge for SMS.

Thanks in advance

I'd suggest you wait for the next email saying that your documents are ready for collection. Texts service is not very reliable. I hope you will get second email very soon. Good luck
