Want step father to come to UK to financially help me

Post by netties » Tue Jul 11, 2017 8:05 pm

I have seen many posts on bringing parents to the UK because they need looking after, but how do I bring my stepfather over to help care for me? He is a widow for sevwral years now and is in his 70s with not a lot of companionship. I am a UK citizen but I am on benefits due to my health. He would help me financially by paying rent. He has a good pention and is in relatively good health (better than me). My husband is 100% with the idea but I have no idea where to start.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance. Ps Ive lived in UK for 14 years and I am married to a born in the UK citizen.

Virtually no chance, especially a step parent, i.e. not a blood relative/parent. If you choose to apply and he is refused, you close the door to any future visitor visas.

Have a read through these links below.

Your application may also be rejected on the basis that nothing prevents your stepfather from helping you financially by transferring the money to your bank account.
