UK Parents dependent visa

[Ganesh1989]

Hi,

Please give your valuable inputs on this,

My parents UK visa application got rejected couple of years back stating there was no proof of financial income.

I have been sponsoring funds and those have been through my bank transactions, now I have understood the mistake I made and I have been transferring funds from my account to theirs on a monthly basis and they have quite some amount in theirs as well barring this.

I am intending to call my parents here for the upcoming summer, I would show all the documents from my end and a invitation letter stating I would be sponsoring their entire visit here in UK.

I would like to know if these monthly transactions I make is fine as both of them are in their high 60s and dont have any other source of income???

Another point I would like to clarify is, I being their only son, they dont have any other dependents here in India, I have heard that, reason for return is as equally important as financial evidence, they do have fixed deposits in their name. Can the fixed deposits be shown as a reason for return as we dont own any house here???

Finally, the bank account and FDs are in the name of my mother, my father doesnt own any, can he be travelling as a dependent along with my mother, if yes what documents are needed supporting his case?

Sorry I have many questions but I feel this is the right place to get the answers!!!

Please throw more light into this process.

Thanks

I have split your post from the thread where you posted your question as your parents will be applying for a visitor visa, not a Tier2G Dependent visa.

The fact that you are supporting your parents actually weakens their application. Together with evidence of strong ties to their home country, they are required to prove that they are financially self-sufficient.
