PARENTS VISITING VISA or Standard Visit Visa

[Makkivvv]

Hi Gurus,
I am not sure this is the right place to ask question related to parents visit visa, if not please direct me to the right place of visa category.
I am a British citizen, and my wife is Indian. We are expecting a baby in May, and we plan to apply for a two-months visa for my wife's parents to help us during this time. Both of them are retired and own property, real estate, and a car. They also receive income from rents and have saved around 4000 GBP in their savings account.
100% sponsored by me to support mother-in-law and father law have sufficient amount to support and this will be prove by submitting UK bank statement
My question is whether they need to provide the following documents to support their application: -
• Property and real estate papers (land documents) along with an ACCA evaluation report that states the value of the property or land.
• A rental agreement that demonstrates the income they receive from their tenants.
• A bank statement showing their savings.
• A document proving car ownership in their name. Additionally, they have a daughter and a son who live in the Middle East, and no other children live in India. They recently visited the Middle East for one month. Should I mention this in the application, considering the guidelines indicate that they require a travel history for the last 10 years?
List of documents submitting along with the applicant document (Passport)
• My British Passport
• My wife Indian Passport.
• Marriage Certificate (To prove the relationship)
• Doctor’s note confirming the date of delivery.
• My Employment Letter & Paystubs.
• Land Registry of Scotland (House Ownership Paper)
• Financial Proof (GBP in total).
• Uk Driver License
• My wife Provincial ID
If any more documents required, please mention

Many thanks in advance .

Thank you for your valuable answers to my question. I truly appreciate it.

As far as I know, a standard visitor visa is typically granted for six months. If the applicant states they intend to stay with us for only two months, why would that be considered too long/risky? I just want to clarify whether I have misunderstood anything regarding the duration of stay.

Firstly you must realise that getting a visa isn't guaranteed at any point.

Secondly, a visa allows one to travel from from country of abode to the intended visiting country and request for permission to enter the country. So even with a valid visa, one could be denied entry at the border and sent back home if the immigration office at POE deems you inadmissible.

Now think like a ECO, he's probably a young guy that has few travelling experience, but he/she has NEVER gone to visit a country for 2 months before. So it sounds strange and just doesn't look right.

I recently travelled to Canada, I spent 2 days, then travelled to the USA for 1 day and back to Canada for 1 day and back to the UK from there. I got stopped when i got back to Canada because my travel pattern didn't make sense to the Canadian immigration officer. Plus I had just my hand luggage and a travel back pack.
She said if she had to travel to Italy for 2 days, she'd have a suitcase with her. Why have i got no checked in luggage.
I simply replied i like to travel light.

Trips like that would make sense in Europe, but the North Americans don't understand it, because they don't do it.

I have a few questions regarding visa applications:

1. Should I prepare separate invitation and cover letters for my mother-in-law and father-in-law, or can I create one letter that includes both names to use for both visas?

2. Is it necessary to provide separate bank statements for my father-in-law and mother-in-law, or can I submit one statement that only has one name on it? For example, if the husband’s bank account is solely in his name, can I mention that the wife is dependent on him?

3. Regarding property ownership, do the property papers need to be in both names or is it sufficient for them to be in individual names?

1. Should I prepare separate invitation and cover letters for my mother-in-law and father-in-law, or can I create one letter that includes both names to use for both visas? One invitation for the pair of them is fine. Mr & Mrs! provided they're applying together at the same time.

2. Is it necessary to provide separate bank statements for my father-in-law and mother-in-law, or can I submit one statement that only has one name on it? For example, if the husband’s bank account is solely in his name, can I mention that the wife is dependent on him? You can do just that. They're married, officially, what belongs to one, belongs to both. But the more the accounts with funds the better though. But if she doesn't have, then that's also fine.

3. Regarding property ownership, do the property papers need to be in both names or is it sufficient for them to be in individual names? Either/or is fine

With the help of this forum. I have submitted my mother and father-in-law applications online.
Now I have the following questions regarding the document checklist to submit the documents when they have the appointment with VFS.

1. Evidence of funds available to you, and which are accessible by you? I am 100% a sponsor to my father-in-law and mother-in-law. They have around 4000GBP in their personal and savings account. UKVI is asking here to access my account or their account .?

2. Evidence that your sponsor is not, or will not be, in breach of UK immigration laws at the time of your visit.? what does that mean?

3 . Invitation from your UK-based family or friend(s) and evidence of their permission to be in the UK? I am submitting an invitation letter but not sure what that means as evidence of their permission to be in the UK.

4. This is another question that is not from the above checklist document. Should I upload all the documents online or use the service to scan and upload them for them when they have an appointment with them?

Many Thanks in advance.
