Hello Experts! I am helping my mum to write her cover letter for her appointment. I am currently financially supporting my mum and my question is, should we explicitly mention this? I have read a few rejection messages and it sounded like the visa officer did not know where the funds are coming from...

Unfortunately, I do not hold the birth certificate and applying for it is going to take longer. The appointment is on Friday :-( Given we had already gone through this process, will this be an issue? My mum has a ration card which has my name on it. I can somehow get that translated. And I am also t...

Hello Everyone,

Please can someone guide me on what I can show as evidence of the relationship between myself and my mother?! Seems like that is one of the required documents and I am unsure what to show. Her name is on the back of my passport. Is that sufficient proof?

Hello! Please can someone help me with this question? I am getting my mum's jewels valued for her visitor visa. Someone suggested that we can open a fixed deposit by applying for a jewel loan instead. I am worried if it will be an issue if we do a fixed deposit a week or 2 before the visa process? P...

Definitely getting the travel insurance for the sake of safety, just in case. I just have one more question for you friends. I am trying to declare my mum's jewels as a part of her assets, as she doesn't have any property. Does anyone have any experience on how to declare this or any experience of d...

My mum is in a very similar situation as yours! What financials are you showing for her, unless you are sponsoring? I am not showing any properties for my mum which has been worrying me Please do update how her visa goes.

Be very cautious about your Mum staying longer than the length of time stated in the visa application. This can raise a red flag for future visits as the visa is issued on the information given in the application, including the amount of funds available for the period of the stay. If your Mum state...

Hello Friends and experts! I have somehow grown extremely hopeless regarding my mum's visa after reading all the rejection stories and I am wondering if anyone here who has been in a similar situation can help? If someone extended their period of stay during their last visit how do you remediate or...

Not required for application of a visitor visa.

But recommended.

Really appreciate both of your answers! Thanks

Hello Friends! Please can someone let me know how important it is to show travel insurance for a standard visitor visa?

I also forgot to mention I will be inviting her for my wedding anniversary event so will post evidences for it too

Hello Everyone! This is my list for my mum's visitor visa application. I will be sponsoring her for the visit. Is there anything else I could add to strengthen the 'ties to home country' segment. General docs: Mother Passport Online UK Visa Application form Appointment letter confirmation Cover lett...

We applied for 3 months and I think we extended her previous stay for additional 3 months. Completely unaware at that time that this was going to be a problem

Thank you so much for your response! I totally understand the red flag about 5-6 months and I was concerned too. I was going to in fact just to a shorter one, but I read somewhere that showing a shorter period and later extending it longer is also meant to cause issues. We did do this the first time...

Hello Friends, I am sponsoring my mum's visitor visa and i want to apply for the 2 years one. Mum has already visited UK once and she returned at the right time. I am getting some mixed information and thought I will come here for some clarity. If I want to invite my mum here for 5 or 6 months, how ...

Thank You!

Hello Friends, I am an Indian passport/british ILR holder. Spouse is British. I am applying for a Italy schengen visa with VFS on Monday. My Italy trip is in April. However, I also need to go to Monaco in May as separate trip. How do I request them to give me a longer visa so I don't have to apply a...

Hello friends! Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I need to travel on December 2nd to Switzerland and I messed up with the appointment. The latest one I have got is for December 1st. I can't get any other appointment anywhere else. I am an Indian passport holder, with UK ILR status married to ...

Thanks Zimba!

I am on call with homeoffice on 35 min waiting :-( still no response. Does this below option work? Leave the UK If you need to leave and re-enter the UK before you get your BRP, apply for a ‘replacement BRP visa’. This will let you re-enter the UK once only. It costs £154. When you apply, you’ll nee...

Hi Friends. I have just had my nightmare come true. There is an emergency and I need to travel back home for my mum, but I haven't got my BRP yet! Its only been 3 working days, as I got my result on Thursday.

What are my options? Anyone who has any idea would really appreciate it.

A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU IN THIS FORUM!!!

I just got my ILR approved! I wouldn't have known to do most of the things, if it wasn't for you guys! I am super grateful. Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to respond to me.

Just coming back from my biometric and they did ask me to submit all the cohabitation evidence, marriage certificate, husband's passport. I told them that I was under the assumption it wasn't required for SET LR. But the lady insisted to submit them as they are on the document list. So we are doing ...

Thanks, Zimba! Feels so odd that we have minimal document upload for this compared to my past visas where my entire room is filled with papers :lol: Offcourse thankful nevertheless This is all I am uploading. Hope I haven't missed anything obvious! 1.Home office Declaration form 2.Current Passport 3...
