How to prove home ties for retired parents applying for UK visit visa?

[suhas.chatekar]

I am going to start the visitor visa application process for my in-laws in India. My father-in-law has been to the UK once in 2014. My mother-in-law has been to the UK twice - once in 2014 and second time in 2015. They were both issued a visitor visa in 2017 on which they never travelled.

All of these times, my father-in-law's financial circumstances were different. He was employed full time so he was able to show stable income meeting his monthly expenses. This time though, he is going to be retiring next month without any pension. In the past, we never mentioned any of their properties or LIC policies etc. in the application as their financial circumstances looked solid even without those. But now, since he is going to be retired without any pension, I am inclined to include the details of all other savings and properties that he has.

Will the fact that he did not share information about his properties and savings in the previous applications be held against him this time?

This time though, he is going to be retiring next month without any pension from the employer. He does receive a tiny amount of pension (INR 2600 per month) from the provident fund. This has started very recently.

He has LIC policies that would mature in about a year's time. At the time of his retirement, he will receive his provident fund and gratuity which are very good sums of money.

I am going to be sponsoring their whole trip so they do not need to show any finances to support their trip. However, they will still need to provide evidence showing how they meet their ends. Are all the evidence I specified above enough in other's experience?

All of these times, my father-in-law's financial circumstances were different. He was employed full time and had a letter from the employer stating he has been allowed to travel to the UK and will come back to join the work. This in itself was good enough to prove that they will go back to India.

However, my father-in-law is going to be retiring in the middle of his visa application process. I cannot get a similar letter from his employer anymore. What other documentation can I supply to prove that they would go back to India at the end of their trip?

Also, is their previous travel history a good indicator to prove that they would go back?
