After hearing so many stories about visit visa refusal online and this & that i am a bit scared. I am looking for any guidance and tips to successfully apply for visitor visa application for my parents. so far on home office papers its looks like very simple but from stories i found many scary notes.
so here is my scenario
- I am a british national with family of two kids
parents age 60
Father recently retired from Govt Job 1 month ago
Mother always housewife
Three brothers & sister
One brother & sister married & one brother unmarried
both brothers lived with parents (one doing business one govt employee)
finance is main part:
I would like to sponsor their trip if this is not the best way then alternatively
Parents have some funds in their account separately and joint accounts but some money children have deposited in their account to boost up their statement. total around £6500 combined accounts
which way is better their statement or mine or combined?
Pension has not started yet as paperwork will take some time but have some payslips prior to retirement.
strong ties:
Parents have owned their house and also have siblings etc to show strong ties.
Is it better to apply visa separately like first for father and then mother or both can apply together to avoid any refusal?
Any other guidance experiences and tips are welcome.
TIA
