Your help to better understand the 60 months route and 28 days thing is required, please. I've read several threads but not able to fully understand this all so I thought to use an existing thread for further clarification. I hope this is in line with the policies of this forum. For reference, I am ...

Looking at a few more threads like immigration-for-family-members/spouse-v ... 16596.html

I now understand that the financial requirements do not apply on non-applying British Children....

One more question on the Financial requirements, Please The Financial Requirement threshold which has been calculated I assume that if children are UK born & British citizens then the minimal threshold applies. And following only applies when the children and non-British citizens An additional £3,80...

Thank you, secret_simon

one more question, please There is a perception that a visit visa is not issued once a settlement visa is refused and I am sure there are good reasons behind this understanding. I've not heard anyone saying that there visit visa was a success after settlement application was refused. I am wondering ...

Thanks very much for your quick and detailed response, seagul, considering answering a yes can impact future visa applications which are already very unlikely to be approved anyway and also if an application is made they will demonstrate their strong financial and social ties to their country of ori...

Hi All, Another question please just before I submit the application - I actually stopped submitting it now until I get some feedback from you all. I understand that you can't give me an exact answer but I hope you can help me make a better choice. In the FLR online application, there is following q...

My question now is that what if they both apply together and give evidence that they can look after each other and can get back because the care will be available? Actually applying together is worse. The Home Office likes to see that the applicant for a visitor visa has strong ties (social and eco...

Thanks very much, geoeng and seagul

By the way, this refusal on itself doesn't close other routes such as spouse visas, Tier 2 visas... etc. It's just matter of practice that visitor visas are no longer delivered to failed applicants on any immigration route. But other visas are fine. I know it might not be relevant for your father, ...

Thanks very much for your reply, Seagul, Just for further clarification, I assume this means that once we submit online application and pay the fee, we will be promoted to book for biometrics and electronically send documents via ukvcas? That is good to know as I had assumed that we will post the do...

My spouse entered the UK for first time on a spouse in August, 2017 and got her Biometric resident permit that is valid until April, 2020. We did not realise that she will have to take A2 test and this delayed our application. Now when we’ve received the results of it we are ready to submit the appl...

Also, three months in the year every year will not be seen as visits, but attempts to reside in the UK in the guide of visits.
You best bets now are to meet your parent outside the UK, either in another EEA member state or in his country of habitual residence.

thank you

Hello Once you go Adult Dependent Relative route, there is no visitor visa in the future. Actually this is one of the reasons to avoid this route because it has very high rate of refusal then it closes the door to any visitor visa application in the future. 2 years ago he was 68, separated and with...

As advised in 2017 when you asked, a failed/refused ADR settlement visa virtually shuts the door on any future visitor visas due to the previous intention to settle being made. https://www.immigrationboards.com/immigration-for-family-members/adr-appeal-hearing-compassionate-grounds-t255472.html#p16...

Hi All, Some details before I ask the question 1. Applicant is 70 years old 2. Applicant applied for settlement 2 years ago, appealed the decision and that was also turned down an year ago 3. Reason for refusal was that judge believed that for the care requirements of the applicant, arrangements can...

Thanks, both of you. I appreciate your responses, and what I understand from that is 1. Judges do not like too much irrelevant documents - so, need to prepare a huge bundle 2. It is okay as long as I can respond to the questions and defend my point, I dont need to know which legal point applies 3. I...

hi All, Since there has been no response to this, I am reposting the question. The situation is that I have a hearing next week, and I believe that I am fully prepared to explain my case. However, I am not an expert of the clauses but I have supporting documents to reference or support my argument. ...

I see... Got it now.
Thanks for the clarification

Has your mother visited the UK since the ADR visa was refused? The suggestion that she enters as a visitor and stays put is misguided. She won't qualify for an Adult Dependent visa from within the UK. I don't know the technicalities or the law. But, I can confirm that i know two cases where they ha...

Family circumstances are lot different. It's not that we are looking for chain migration but right have family life together. All my siblings are British citizens and settled in UK except my mother. If she stays in Pakistan then it affects us too. wm786, it is great that your mother has visit visa....

Thanks for the reply and the explanation, Casa, This is very harsh of UK to use ones golden period of life working for them and when they need some support, they are asked to leave back! Just wondering if not such situation, where does article 8 really applies. Also, struggling to digest that UK doe...

Since the Immigration Rules were tightened in July 2012 regarding settlement visas for adult dependent relatives, only a extremely small percentage of applications have been approved. In order to have any chance of success, your mother would have been required to prove that she needs daily help for...

hi All, I have found such forums very helpful when making the applications and submitting the appeals. However, I am not sure if it is worth having a barrister along during an appeal hearing when 1. if I can provide the details evidences of my case and am comfortable to communicate 2. when there is ...

Hi CROO, - ADR was applied in January, 2017 - The parent age is about 70 - Health issues include dementia and the parent cannot do her daily tasks without the assistance. So, basically, they need 24/7 care - Reason of refusal: ECO accepted that there is no one else in the family to provide the requi...
