URGENT HELP NEEDED -Visit Visa(Sponsoring Mother)

Post by PKhan » Wed Dec 05, 2012 1:32 pm

Hello,
Apologies for a separate thread. I need some urgent advise! I am on Tier 1 General Sponsored Work Visa and would like to sponsor my mother for visit to the UK for three months. Have a few questions?

1.Does she have to submit General Visit Visa VA1FA or Family Visit Visa Form VAF1B? A legal advisor mentioned it would be family visitor but reading different threads here I think that is incorrect.

2.She is a housewife and I will be completely sponsoring her visit.I have read posts where people have got refusal for their parents visa because home office was not convinced of intention to leave. I am really worried. She does not have income on her name but she has a few properties on her name. Is this sufficient proof?

i have provided following documents:
employment letter
p60
6 months payslips
6 months bank statements
invitation letter
letter from landlord for accomodation
birth certificate to prove relationship
copy of work permit/passport

is this enough?help is much appreciated.

I believe that following the recent changes (July 2012), only family of settled person can apply for a family visitor visa so as the OP is on his Tier-1 visa, this should be a visitor visa VAF1A.

thanks very much for the confirmation. yes I am on Teir 1 Visa and not settled so as suggested will go ahead with the VAF1 Form.

One last question I had is with the following question:

5.11 Do you receive income from any other
sources, including friends or family?
Answer Yes/No. Please give details of all money
you receive from any/all source(s) including
amounts and frequency.

My mother is a housewife and she gets money from my dad which is not necessarily deposited in her bank account. Is that a problem?
