Hi,
I am working here on WP. I have seen the following message from the Home Office official website:
https://ukvisas-stage.ukvisas.gov.uk/en ... members#Q4 under the category "Guidance - Family members (INF 6)" :
Can parents, grandparents and other dependent relatives go to live in the UK?
If you are a widowed parent or grandparent aged 65 or over, or parents or grandparents travelling together and one of you is 65 or over, you may qualify if:
you are completely or mainly financially dependent on children or grandchildren living and settled in the UK
you have no other close relatives in your own country to help you
your children or grandchildren can support you without needing help from public funds, and
your children or grandchildren have enough accommodation, which they alone own or live in, where you can live without needing any help from public funds.
----------------------
My mother qualify on above criteria and she is currently here in UK on Visitor VISA (valid for Six month). I am interested to extend her stay here. So I need your suggestion please that could I apply my mother case under above category (Family) for her extension to stay here in UK, if yes, could I apply from here in UK or need to go back the home country (India) and apply from there? If I could apply from here then which Form I should use, and what will be the chance to get the VISA/ extension. If I would apply from India under the above category then maximum for how long time she could get the VISA and she could stay further.
If I would apply extension through Form: FLR(O), then what is chance to get extension and how long maximum she could get the extension to live with me here in UK.
In short, my Mother is totally dependent on me, no one will take care her in India and I am working in UK, so please guide me how could I get her extension to keep her with me, I am capable to maintain her expenses, will not use any public/Govt fund.
So please suggest me what I do the best to keep her with me, I am only son of my mother and my father is not alive.
Thank you in advance for help.
Regards,
