bring my mom to uk as dependant

Hi all.
could some one guide me on this,
i came back to UK by last week from my farther's funeral,
my mom in a too much pressure of this death and too much stress, so its too risky to leave my mom alone ,my brother works in Italy and cant afford to look after my mom, and all my relatives refusing to look after my mom cos of this death.

i have the police report or other evidence of this death , now the question is what are the possibilities that i could bring my mom over to UK as a dependent (not visitors visa).

As yet, there have been no posts on the forums of successful applications, only refusals so far. It is very difficult to obtain this visa and if refused, the likelihood of your mother being granted a visitor visa in the future is very slim.

thanks for u r quick reply , in my case my mom is still age of 58 , and my father's death was not a normal death, there are many reason for my fathers death, its quite risky to leave mom in my own country. will this be a plus point on my mom's dependent visa application ?

Have a read of the requirements and see if she meets them.

The 'riskiness' of the remote location is not a factor considered in the standard application.

some of the points on that link are relevant . like sponsoring my mom for 5 yrs not a problem plus my permanent residence status .

but caring my mom back home is possible in my home country. i don't know what will happen to this application.

do u think its worth to apply this VISA through a lawyer ?

Probably.

Please understand that if she doesn't meet the requirements - e.g. she can be looked after abroad affordably, then this will meet a refusal ... an appeal ... and probably a judicial review to get this kind of visa.

UKBA is a checkbox organisation. Meet the requirements = visa, don't = no visa. The only way to force discretion* is, really, through the courts. But to go there - you have to have tried and failed first.

You will almost certainly require a good lawyer.

*Unless it's specifically allowed in the type of application - e.g. article 8.
