Settlement Visa for my mother

Post by tanvir1611 » Thu Sep 11, 2008 12:00 pm

I recently got my ILR and myself and my wife are working full time from last 5 years in UK. My parents visited us 6 times in last 5 years on visit visa. Unfortunatley my father died in Road accident in Pakistan in Feb 2008, and there is no one to look after my mum ( who is 68 years old). I applied for her settlement visa in BHC islamabad on 22nd July and we received reply today that she should come for an interview.
My questions are
What they are going to ask her?
Is it a good sign or bad to call her for interview?

I am so worried as I really want my mother to come and live with us. Please advise/guide if you had same situation.

(P.N. I am the only Son and both of my sisters are married and living in Pakistan. One lives far away from her and one lives in same city but my mum could not stay with her permanently)

Best Wishes

Tanvir

Thanks for your reply.
I already read these guidance before applying for her visa.

As she is over 65, widow and financially dependent on me, so fulfills all criterias. I am only worried about questions of other relatives SECTION 15.3.

Even though she has other relatives in Pakistan including two daughters but culturally she could not ask them for help permanently. The real problem is she can't live alone in our house and she could not live with some one else as no one could accomodate her permanently...
