advise about parents

[pennybarry]

Hello everybody, i just need an advise about something. My mum is a widow, she's currently 64 years old. I'm planning to bring her here for a visit in the middle of 2009, with a view to apply for a dependant visa in the future. She'll be 65 just before her visitor visa expires. My question is, can I apply for a dependant visa while she is still in the uk on a visitors visa? Any advise will be greatly appreciated.. thanks

If I were you, I will let my Mum to visit UK first and see if she will like to settle here. I have met lot of Mums who granted visit visa in the UK, Holland and Canada, but they feel bored and cold and they didn't finish their visa to stay longer.
