[chagan]

Hi

I am planning to get my parents on visitor visa next month. I am sponsoring them for the whole trip. I have couple os questions

I am on ILR now.

-> Shall I fill general visitor or Family visit form
-> In section 5 fiance and employment shall i put my details or parents
-> I will ask my father to put property papers and bank statement would be enough if i am the sponsor
-> He is self employed but he dosent pay tax or anything and everything is in cash so he wont have any proof of self employment
-> I am sending following docs from my side,
Payslips, bank stat. ( ^ months and P60 2012)
Sponsor letter
council tax bill and TV license letetr
Tenancy agreement
employer letter

They should fill in a family visit form and thefore your second question is asking for their information. You may complete the form on their behalf but none of the questions are directed at you (the sponsor). Some of the questions directed at them (the applicants) may refer to you (the sponsor) and require answers about your circumstances.

Even though your father has no credible evidence of his income and employment, your parents should provide as much evidence as possible of their social and economic ties to their homeland.

Thanks Lucapooka,

I did not understant when you said Some of the questions directed at them (the applicants) may refer to you (the sponsor) and require answers about your circumstances.

Can you please elaborate on this...

If you elect to complete the forms on their behalf, a large majority of the questions will contain the pronouns you and your. Your parents are the applicants so those questions are aimed at them, and their circumstances, rather than you. I mention this because you seemed think that section 5 of the application was asking you about your finances, but you are not the applicant. If a questions asks about your sponsor, then you can fill in the relevant information about yourself.
