I'm a Tier-2 Work Permit visa holder and my parents are getting a visa to visit me. Last time we did this they've gotten a "family visitor" visa. Now UKBA website states that in order for them to qualify for a "family visitor" they have to show that
I assume "settled in the UK" means an ILR-holder, so Tier-2 doesn't qualify.Additionally the family member you are visiting must :
be a British citizen;
be settled in the UK;
have been granted asylum in the UK; or
have Humanitarian Protection status.
Does that mean they have to apply as a general visitor? The form for it states
Has it not been updated yet? Or is their definition of "family" doesn't work here?If the main reason you are applying to come to the UK is as: a tourist or to visit friends you must complete VAF1A; a family visitor you must complete VAF1B
I'm confused. What visa should they apply for?
Thanks
