VAT2.2 What is a family visitor?
Under the Immigration Appeals (Family Visitor) Regulations 2003, a family visitor is defined as someone who intends to visit someone who is related to them in the following way:

the applicant's spouse, father, mother, son, daughter, grandfather, grandmother, grandson, granddaughter, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, nephew, niece or first cousin (note: 'first cousin' means, in relation to a person, the son or daughter of his uncle or aunt);
the father, mother, brother or sister of the applicant's spouse;
the spouse of the applicant's son or daughter;
the applicant's stepfather, stepmother, stepson, stepdaughter, stepbrother or stepsister; or
a person with whom the applicant has lived as a member of an unmarried couple for at least two of the three years before the day on which his application for entry clearance was made.

Yes I think you would be classed as a family visit, however if you are unemployed and single, how come you have such a large amount of money in your bank account?.

Yes you will need to show strong ties to your country and in view of above, I think you may struggle.

The money in my account was given to me by family members as for strong ties to home country there is nothing I can show as I live with my parents and I am not working I do not study either anything u can suggest I got message from the home office today that application is in process what u think my chances would be???

I hope you can explain how and where the money came from as one of the most common reason for a visitor refusal ( in Pakistan) is that the applicant or their family deposits a large lump sum in their bank account just before applying without giving a reason as to where and how came from.

I hope you do the get the visa, but I am afraid you better prepare yourself for disappointing news when it comes in the next few days.
