Standard visitor visa : Mother-in-Law, 2 years
Country/Town of Application : VFS Global, Chennai, India
Application submitted on : 30/06/2023
Biometrics enrolled on :05/07/2023
Application forwarded to UKVI email on :05/07/2023
Sponsor contacted by UKVI (if applicable) on :N/A
Contacted with 'decision made' text/email: 14/07/2023

Decision of Application : granted

Note: Applicant has previously been granted UK visitor visa 5 times in the last 10 years and as such has a record of travel and returning home. Also, documents submitted were purely from the sponsors as the applicant does not have regular income or savings to show. In fact, the VFS staff even ignored the bank statements from the applicant. Only the passport was submitted by the applicant.
