Cool. Tnx

I have not bought the ticket . I have not even applied to the visiting visa . The £2000 is for ticket [£1400] and feeding/miscellaneous [£600] for 4 weeks .

Hi Justwise and vjustice .

I am working full time in the UK and I have never taken any benefit . i intend to invite my my two kids to visit to UK during summer holiday(4weeks holiday) .
Is £2,000 balance in my salary account good enough in the eye of the ECO . Am worried about the issue of disposable income or whatever excuse the ECO are fond of .

justwise:


You can apply for them to spend their summer holiday with you.

Thanks for the advice .

justwise:


Ok, they are really young and can not travel alone.

Were they born in the UK and moved back to Nigeria?

You should be able to invite them for holiday with requirements met.

They were all born in Nigeria .

justwise:


How old are your kids?

my kids are 6 years old , 8 years old and 10 old years respectively.

CASE STUDY

I am a permanent UK resident. I have three kids living in Nigeria. My annual income is around £17,000. Unfortunately because I did not meet the minimum income threshold I have decided not to apply for settlement visa for the Kids .
I have visited the kids twelve times in the last 6 years and on each visit I will spend at least one month with them. My employer are not happy at the frequency at which I take time off work. I stand the chance of losing my job if this should continue. At the moment am looking for a second job so that I cant meet up with the minimum income threshold because I want the kids to live with me here in the UK .
In the meantime ,before I get another job , I am thinking of inviting the kids to visit me during the school long vacation which are normally between Mid-july until Mid-September. I think if the kids can visit me atleast once in year until am able to bring them on settlement visa I can still keep my job safe.
I have all the documentation to prove that I can accommodate them without recourse to public fund while they are on holiday . In my layman opinion , they qualify for Visiting visa . Pls enlighten me if am wrong.

ADVICE NEEDED;

Is it against immigration rule that the children who are meant to be applying for settlement decided to apply for another visa category.
Is there Any body with a similar experience , pls share it with me and what do you think are the chances of the kids getting the visiting visa
