Urgent - Mum Under 65 needs permanent assistance

Post by Alvyn » Fri Jul 22, 2011 10:14 am

I am in a precarious situation and would appreciate if anyone can help me. My mother has been suffering from her leg over the past years. Last week, she fell over and was taken to hospital. The doctor has now advised that she need permanent assistance as she is now partly disabled with one leg. My mother lives on her own and there is no one to look after her there. My sisters are married and lives in India and due to their financial and personal circumstances, moving with them are not an option for my mum. My mum is under 65 years old and has no knowledge of English. I previously made a visitor visa application which was refused on the basis that she does not have enough ties in India.


It is quite unsettling that I am not able to help my mum in this situation and would like to bring my mum as a dependant here (I am British Citizen). However, I would like to know the chances of such application and would like to seek professional advice to help me with this application. Can anyone please help and advice on my chances and appropriate professional immigration advisers to speak to?


Thanks

Thanks Vinny

However, it was not so helpful as she will be applying from India. I would like to know about the chances of getting the visa under such circumstances.

as she is under 65, she needs to meet this requirement (as well as the to others as set out in the rules

parent or grandparent under the age of 65 if living alone outside the United Kingdom in the most exceptional compassionate circumstances and mainly dependent financially on relatives settled in the United Kingdom

as you can imagine 'most exceptional compassionate circumstances' is a hard test to meet. I suggest you seek legal advice as it is too complex a matter to comment on without knowing a lot more information.
