Visa for Mother

Post by xyz111 » Mon Oct 24, 2016 12:10 pm

Hi
I would like to apply for the mother’s visit visa from Pakistan. Please can someone suggest any good visit visa consultants?
In addition if I someone could suggest if it is possible to apply for her citizenship.
I am a naturalised uk citizen. My mother is over 63.
Many thanks.

No 'consultants' to be mentioned here.

Visitors do not qualify for citizenship and citizenship is not 'inherited' from other citizens.
It takes 5 years to become settled in UK and that is a prerequisite for citizenship.

Also you should be made aware that the route to settlement for adult dependent relatives has been virtually closed since July 2012.

Unless your mother required daily care for basic tasks such as bathing, dressing, preparing food etc and that care is either not available in her home country or is unaffordable, then any application to settle would be refused.

If your mother applies for a settlement visa and it is refused, she would effectively be closing the door to any visitor visa applications in the future due to her prior intention to settle.

Neither can she enter the UK on a visitor visa and then decide to stay on.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
