I posted here few weeks back about inviting my in law. Good news , Her passport was returned today with visa approved.

Biometrics done on 14/10/2021 , I had to pay £220 priority cause i couldn't find any dates close enough for her.

Email from UKV on 15/10/2021 application recieved

Passport returned 22/10/2021 by DHL.

Someone here replied when I wanted to confirm the documents i had was enough, cant remember who . Thanks though

giselle237:
done this. Your invitation letter nko? Write one addressed to the mum and the other addressed to ukvi. State categorically what u are covering, cost of return ticket, whole maintenance, accommodation, feeding etc. from when to when. Why she is coming, u can drag the whole importance of family ties, how covid has affected this etc. .. then add few pictures possibly the one tht contains all 3 of you.
Then u need to show ties of the mum to nigeria, her husband, her other kids in Nigeria etc to establish good reason tht she will be comin back. If her husband is alive, u can include a letter from him stating he is aware his wife is travellin to go see their wonderful daughter bla bla bla and how he will be in the country thruout the time she will be away.. som ppl submit letter from church for moms tht are deeply involved in church activities etc. the list is inexhaustible

Thanks , yeah will include the letter aswell.

Good afternoon guys , would be glad if someone who's invited a parent before can advise.

I live in the UK, would like to invite my wifes mum to come visit for 2-3 months. I will be sponsoring the trip and paying all other expenses.

If you have done this before, please what documents did you submit ?

So far I have, 6 months bank statements, a savings account covering over 8 months , letter from employer, Council tax, me and my wifes passports, wifes birth certificate showing relationship to mother, her mothers retired but shes also got savings in millions of naira.

Please advise , thanks
