2 year Visitor visa question

[mashoodp4]

This may be a minor detail but I want to clarify something I have seen on the application form. I am applying for a two year visit visa for my dad , he has been to the UK 2 times in the past 5 years on a 6 moth visit visa , I wanted to apply for 2 years visa to save on cost of applying again and again as he is a frequent visitor.

My question is with regards to Part 1 question number 13, 14 and 15

Part 1 > Travel Dates and Purpose of Travel

12 What is the main purpose of your visit to the UK?

Family Visit

13 How long do you intend to stay in the UK?

___________________

14 On which date do you intend to travel to
the UK?

_________________

15 On which date do you intend to leave the
UK?

_____________


As my father would like to visit us the first 2 months initially and then come again some moths later I am not quite sure whether the entry and exit dates that have to be entered in Q14 and Q15 are for his first visit or should I enter dates between the duration of two years even though my father would not be staying whole of the two years ?


Thanks in advance for your help

Q13,14,15 are with respect to first visit. So you would put something like

Q13. 4-5 months
Q14. 1st August 2013
Q15. 1st December 2013

These are only provisional dates for first/immediate visit. You need to satisfy with letters/ circumstances etc that why you are applying for long-term visitor visa and that the circumstances are likely to be same for next two years hence your father will be visiting you once a year perhaps. (Max stay is still 180 days in a year despite long-term visa)

(My mother has just collected her passport today with 5years family visitor visa )

Guys can I apply for 5 years family visa for my patents even though they have only been here once and were issued a 6 month visa???

Do they qualify? http://ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas-imm ... dependent/
You can apply to join a settled person in the UK if:
You need long-term personal care to perform every day tasks, such as washing and cooking.
The care you need is not available in the country where you are living, either because it is not available and there is no person in the country where you are living who can reasonably provide it or it is not affordable.
Your sponsor can show that he or she is able to provide adequate maintenance, accommodation and care for you without having to rely on public funds. Your sponsor will need to sign a sponsorship undertaking form to confirm that they will be responsible for your care without relying on public funds for a period of at least 5 years.

Hello Guys,
I am applying for a long term family visit visa for my mother who is a widow aged 54 yrs.She has been here 3 times before on short-term visa.I am a permanent resident in the UK and stay with my wife and children. My sister also stays here in UK with her family, husband and children. She acquired her british citizenship recently. As my mother is having two of her immediate family members in the UK she will be making frequent visits to see us.

I am wondering if I should be applying for 5yrs visa or 10yr visa? Can someone please advise?
