Tourist visa for my mother

[aliaks]

I am a British citizen and my mother is Turkish who is living in Turkey with my dad.

6 years ago she was in Germany to see my relatives and from there she applied for visa to come to UK to see me but she was told to apply from Turkey.

after a year she applied from Turkey and didn't mention what happened in Germany and this caused a 10 years ban.

All she wants is to come to UK as a tourist to see me and go back. Can someone give me an advice or put me in to the right direction please. It will be much appreciated. Thank you.

Any applications before the 10 ban period is complete will likely be refused. A 10 year ban is imposed for deception/witholding material facts/false documents.

Thanks for the reply but I know what it means. I just want to know if there's anything I can do to lift the ban as it was a genuine error. Surely as a British citizen I should be allowed to bring my mother here for couple of weeks. Does anyone have any good advice please?

Not really. It would have been far more useful to challenge the ban at the time, not wait a number of years.

Provided she meets the requirements, which she won't while there is a ban. You can of course visit her or meet up in another country.
