Wifes pregnancy good reason to invite my mother to visit UK?

Post by seri-ous » Fri Jul 13, 2012 10:04 am

Hi,

I was planning to invite my mother to visit UK as a family visitor for 6 months to be with us when we welcome our first baby. Is it safe to mention the reason for her Visit as for supporting my wife during her pregnancy?

I have read a few posts that said its not ideal to give this reason and a few posts that say its ok ...... I just wanted to be 100% sure before I go ahead and add this reason.

My mother is unemployed and she hasn't got any properties in her name in India .... I will be fully sponsoring her trip to the UK .... She lives with my father(retired) and my brother(working).

I have no other documentation to show her ties to India other than the fact that she lives with my family in India .... that's one reason why I want to mention the real reason for her visit in my invitation letter which is : Wife's pregnancy.

Any kind of advice would be much appreciated.

Thank you,
VS

I have called my mother/father during my wife's pregnancy with the sole reason to help out during this time.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
