Family visitor visa rejected - your help will be appreciated

[easy]

Hi,

I am a british citizen, living with my family in UK. My father from my home country has applied for visitor visa to visit UK for 3 weeks.

I am sponsoring him for the visit and showed all my income and savings in UK.

I have also provided the agreement for my father's property in home country. So that he has his interest to come back.

He is retired person and I am sending him the money on regular basis for family maintenance.

Is there any chance to apply for appeal? I presumed from previous posts that the appeal procedure is abolished and can only be considered on human rights ground.

Ours is genuine application and he will definitely come back because the UK weather is not suitable for him to live especially in winter. Because of his no income, he can not visit to see my family and newly purchased house in UK. Is this against the human right?

Your help would be much appreciated.

PS - I tried to attach the copy of decision letter issued by visa office, but pdf & docx formats are not allowed.

Thanks

Correct, there is no appeal right.

There is no 'human rights' ground either. You can of course visit him.

If the property agreement is all you submitted to show his ties to his home country, it certainly is far from sufficient to submit as evidence, then the refusal seem correct and the ECO suspect he won't leave the UK, especially since you appear to be financially supporting him too.

Thanks CR001,

His independent income is only the source to show his ties to home country.

Please could you advise if I could show any other things to strengthened the case.

Thanks

HO want to see things like his bank statements showing his income and explanations of deposits you or anyone else makes, property documents, family ties, social ties, employment information if applicable etc etc etc.

How long did he state he was going to visit the UK?

It has become difficult to get visit visas now for elderly parents, especially if the children in the UK are supporting them for their daily needs.

Can you post the refusal letter so that accurate suggestions can be made in relation to visit visa? you can appeal under Human rights but chance of being successful is very low. Post refusal letter please so we can help. Also, which country your dad applied form?
