Mother Visit Visa to Settlement Visa PLEASE HELP

[daarius]

Hi there I need some help please;
My mother 71 years old (Pakistani National) is on family visit visa to UK staying with me and my wife since 19.02.2012. She has six months visit visa. Can she apply her settlement visa to UK while she is here? This is first time she ever come to UK, she has a son and a daughter and grand kids back in Pakistan. She is not well physically and I wanted her to stay here with us. Is there any possibility in the law that she can apply for settlement visa during her stay in the UK. I have my own house and earning reasonable money and can support her and my wife with my job easily. I am on ILR and my wife is on 2 years settlement visa.

Thank you very much.

Oscar
