Re: sponsoring a relative to come to UK
No need to pay any lawyer shawyers for their 'advice'.
I have done this a few times now. quite simple really.
Following papers are needed;
1- an 'Affidavit' written by either you or ur husband (whoever works and has the highest earnings).
In the affidavit (this is an Oath said by yourselves/husband) write in bullet points all that you are claiming/wanting.
e.g.
- you wish to invite
to come visit you guys on holiday for (don’t say 6 months if the Visa is 6 month max...write down 4.5 or 5 months) - if you are a UK passport holder mention it.
- for a special reason (if any).
- you live in a house/flat .
- you earn
. - you work for
. - you are taking financial responsibility of all her expenses/stay while the Sponsored person is in UK. Once you have prepared this Affidavit take it to a ‘Commissioners of Oath’, these are any high-street Solicitors really and tell them you want a Affidavit/Oath signed by them, it will take 5 minutes and they will charge you 5 pounds once they have stamped it and stuff.
2- copy of bank statements showing reasonable amount in there.
3- copy of rental agreement perhaps ( if, as u say u don’t own the property and so showing Mortgage paper deeds is out of the question).
4- Sponsor’s passport copy.
These papers together with the Sponsored person’s own proof (showing she intends to go back to Pakiland, her bank statement etc) can then be submitted to the Paki authorities there.
If everything is in order, the process should take no longer than a month to get Visa.
