How many of your family intend to visit and for how long :?:

The crucial issue is to submit evidence of strong ties to their home country (for each of them) to convince the Entry Clearance Officer they won't overstay their visa.

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.

Hi

Suggest you search this forum which has wealth of information on documents to be submitted for Visitor visa
Any suggestions I make in the forum are out my personal experience and should not be taken as a legal/professional advise.
