Hi
Me and my wife are British Nationals. Her mother is a Zimbabwean national. She would like to visit us in the UK for 3 or 4 months later this year, all at our expense. She has a passport and has recently visited another daughter in Australia on a 6 month tourist visa, she also visits South African relatives regularly, but she has little in savings.
Please can anyone advise on how easy it is to get a UK 3 or 6 month tourist visa for her. We've heard that requests are sometimes turned down because the UK authorities are worried there isn't enough to tie her to country of origin and so she might never return.
Any advice welcome - from successful and unsuccessful applicants!
Regards
