Unlikely they will get a 5 year visa if they have only visited the UK once before.

How long did they stay in the UK on their one visit last time?

How long did they state in their visa application that they would be visiting the UK?

Why are you applying for a 5 year visitor visa now? You do realise they cannot stay in the UK for long periods even with this visa.

Kindly also refrain form posting in CAPITALS letters, it is very difficult to read and is the same as SHOUTING!!

It is usually unlikely a 5 year long term visit visa is granted if the applicants have no identifiable travel track record.

If refused, you lose the fee.

You should a) either do a couple more 6 month visas or b) try for a 2 year visa instead.
