Dependent would assume that they require you to give them money to live or if they are ill, depend on you to look after them. In the UK where I am for dependent parents you are required to provide bank statements to show you have been sending them money over a period. You are right that as a family ...

Irishfella, As long as she stays under the 6 weeks period I think she should be fine. But I would only do a max of 3 week to be on the safe side. If she does take 3 weeks I would factor that into the time when you apply. i.e. 31st August 2018 + 3 weeks. Sorry couldn't give you any good news! Good lu...
