Hi. Having been through the agony of a Spouse visa, we are wondering if my wifes mother in law can visit us next year.

I notice that the visa we might aim for is a Family Visitor Visa which would be for up to 6 months. Costing considerably less than a Spouse visa I might add.

It is my belief that my wife's mother would have no intention of overstaying and perhaps might only visit for a few weeks. She has work back home in Phils, albeit a modest income.

Having had a quick squint on the UKBA website again their appears to be a heap of requirements that are quite difficult to get ones head around initially. But what are the main issues with such a visa? Anybody been involved in one of these visas?

I hope there is no language test as she would be stumped.
