Hello,
Thanks in advance to everyone for their advice.
I am a British National and have been living with my family(Father, Mother, 2 sisters and 1 brother) in the UK for the last 7 years.
I have an Uncle (My father's only brother) and Aunty (uncle's wife) living in Karachi, Pakistan. My uncle has a well paid job and owns his house as well.
I am planning to call both of them over to the UK on a Visit visa to come and meet our family and spend some time with us.
I understand that I need to send the following documents in order to confirm my sponsorship:
• a sponsorship letter from me
• my bank statements for the last 90 days
• my wage slips for the last 3 months
• ability to accommodate and provide for their maintenance while they are here
I have had over £4000 in my bank account within last 90 days so hopefully that will be sufficient. From my current employment I earn £737/month and I will have wage slips to prove that.
My main worry is about how to show adequate accommodation for both of them.
I have bought a 3 bed house in October 2011 which is on mortgage and have been renting it out since than for £500/month. My bank statements would show instalment going out for the mortgage of £237/month.
I am living with my parents as I did before purchasing this house and it is a 4 bed council house. The tenancy agreement is on my mother’s name and council tax shows my father and mother both.
1- Will the salary be enough after taking into account the mortgage payment or does it show that I can’t afford to pay for their well being?
2- Will it be enough to just get a letter signed by mother to confirm that she is happy with my Uncle & Aunty staying in the house for a couple of weeks?
I can also attach tenancy agreement for my own house showing that tenancy contract has expired and if needed than I can ask tenants to leave the house in order to provide adequate accommodation for my uncle and aunty.
3- Do I need a solicitor to come around to my parent’s house and check size of rooms etc and verify anything?
Once again, any advice will be much appreciated and thanks for reading through such a long thread.
