Do you have family in UK?

Dear Experts,

I've a very unique situation- I've 2 years old son born in London,UK and he was granted Tier 2 PBS Dependent visa when he was at 03 months old. Later on, he moved to India and my parents taking care of him. An year ago, I've switched my Tier 2 general visa employer and a new Tier 2 PBS dependent visa has been granted to my spouse. But still my son holding a Tier 2 PBS visa issued when I was working with previous employer. I came to know that such visa are curtailed and should re-apply new PBS dependent visa. Now the plan is - we are applying Visitor Visa for my mother-in-law, if she was granted, planning to apply new PBS dependent visa for my son, in line of my leaving.

There is a clause in the visitor visa application - Do you have any family in UK, please enter those details. and also asking "Will you visit or stay with this person whilst in the UK?" Yes/NO. My mother-in-law in a confuse state - Should she enter her grand son's details? If we choose NO for "Will you visit or stay with this person whilst in the UK?" what should we justify ? Currently my wife is a homemaker and any concerns raised by the visa clearance officer, saying that "Being your wife a homemaker why you left your son with your parents" ? I believe this is more into personal-situation. Does they really care about it? Please advice.

I've another thought - In my cover letter, I would like to state that, my son is living with my parents at present and planning to get him back to UK after 3 months.

What's your thought?

Thanks
Cheery

Don't overthink it or analyse what you think UKVI will think about your son staying with parents. Many people do this for various reasons.

If she applying for a visit visa, then YOU are the family in the UK not your son.
