Hi Sir Joebloggs! Thanks for your replies. I really appreiate it this time. I first came in Northern Ireland on a working permit in Jan 2003, then brought my husband & 2 kids over as my dependents. We all got our ILR in 2008, then became citizens in 2009. My only sister came over in Cambridge with her family in April 2010 on a Tier2 Working visa with her husband & 2kids as dependents. The only one left at home is my mom.
Am I eligible to apply for my mum a family permit instead of an Elderly dependent visa if we are only naturalised citizens?
I phoned my Solicitor today to ask for a letter re my house & accommodation, as he was the one who did all the paper works when I bought it in 2004. Would that be of importance? I have no time to get Independent Accommodation Report, as my mum's interview is on Tuesday, 07/06/11. I also went to Inland Revenue to get my Tax Credit Report for the Child Tax Credit I am getting, but they told me they just posted the latest reports for year 2010-2011 on May 30, 2011. It usually takes 2wks to receive it. I noted the name of the Representative I was talking to & is planning just to email my mom re this. Do you think the Embassy would be kind enough to consider it. I have the copy of my Child Benefits though. Do I need to send it as well?
I really am nervous of the outcome of this interview. I told my mum just to be honest on why she wants to come over, and that she has nothing to worry as long as she answers the questions as honestly as she can.
Is there any advise you can give about the possible questions they may ask. Thank you very much. It's nice to know you can talk to someone about this. I really appreciate your effort in getting back to me.
