This is one of the most difficult visas to obtain and as far as I am aware, there has only been one (I think) successful application on this forum since the rules changed last year.
If you search the forum, you will find threads/topics on this.
If you go ahead and apply anyway and your mother's visa is refused, it will close the door on any visit visa application in the future.
I will have a look for the posts of people asking the same question.sushdmehta wrote:Significant changes are being introduced from 09-Jul-12 to the immigration rules for elderly dependant relatives.

She's a widow and I'd like her to be with me and spend her elderly years with her future grandchildren.
It's not a matter of being taken care of in the resident country. That can be arranged - what I'm looking for is spending family time with her. I know the answer already - with the current rules and criteria.
let's see what happened. Shall have a read through the forms and forums and see if I can meet all criteria and apply accordingly.
Thank you for all the assistances.
