UKBA says "To come to the UK as a family visitor, you must be able to show that you will be visiting the following family members in the UK:

spouse, civil partner, father, mother, son, daughter, brother or sister;

grandfather, grandmother, grandson or granddaughter;

spouse or civil partner's father, mother, brother or sister;

son or daughter's spouse or civil partner;

stepfather, stepmother, stepson, stepdaughter, stepbrother or stepsister; or

a person you have been living with in a genuine and subsisting relationship, like marriage or civil partnership, for at least 2 years before the day you apply.

If you want to visit a family member who is NOT LISTED ABOVE, you should come to the UK as a GENERAL VISITOR."

I therefore considered UNCLE as General Visitor and not a Family Visitor.

Anyway, rules are always complicated. It's how we filled the application form and how we presented the evidence that matters most.
