I am in the same boat, trying to bring over my wife's parents from India and her 21 year old sister for the birth of our 2nd child due in early June. Applying for Visit Visa, Sub Category Family. At the moment docs I have collated for her... ID - Election Card, Indian ID and Bike License. Educatiion...
Hi I have registered as myself, and i think if they are applying for themselves then they need to create there own account and choose yourself. But if you are aplying for them, then your accoutn is fien and you choose on someone elses behalf. This is what i will be doing...Be nice to get some clarif...
So you would be applying from the following link https://www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk/home/welcome , you'll need to register. You can get your MiL to apply herself or you can apply for her... The options under Reason for visit are: Visit Study Work Settlement Transit Other Exempt Then, VisaType: Tourism C...
Maybe start getting your brother to tranfer the money into their account, rather than cash. Or maybe provide evidence that your brother looks after your parents financially.
I don't think there is a fixed amount, just to show there is regular income in that period.
Also I don't think money in Fixed Interest account counts either, as the money cannot be accessed straight away. Its the ties to return back home you must prove also. Hope this helps.
Hi Ash I'm no expert, but I too am applying for my in laws to come from India, You can possibly apply at the same time, but you'll be risking it a bit i think. The Visa lasts for 6 months, so if he is staying for only 1/2 weeks then i may be fine, but will be at your own risk. Taken from the goverme...
Hi Simon Birth is early June, Trying to get her them over mid May, so in theory will apply mid Feb in Cochin. I will try think like the ECO, Its just for my SiL providing the normal documentary evidence is prooving diffilcult, so far as - She is dependent financially on her father, who I'm trying to...
Regarding SiL, I thought so, but some people have told my wife even though there isn't a family visit visa, you can apply together on the standard visit visa. So I was relieved that she might be able to 'piggbank' that way, but now that idea has been corrected. SiL (21) - No Job - Currently doing a ...

Hi Friends I have been absent for a while, originally applied successfully for my wife's settlement visa from Cochin VFS in 2009 and then ILR in 2011, she has decided against citizenship thus far. But this forum was a great help back then for help, support and general advice. I hope John and Batleyk...
This link should be your first port of call to find out what application type you need and what docs you require, you can apply for ILR 1 month before your 2nd anniversary on entering the UK.
