The Family Visitor visa these days is completely in line with all other visitor visa categories.
In the very worst case scenario that an application is refused, an applicant can immediately re-apply by addressing the reasons for refusal. 95% of applications are decided within 15 days.

The major advantage of Family Visit visa was that of having the right of appeal against refusal.
Hello Terpe,because what I thought is that she will have more chance of getting a visa if she is visiting a family member...but as what you have said its completely in line with other type of visa at present then I will tell her to apply for the General Visitor.One more question Terpe,do you think it will be better if my husband will sponsor her e.g. she will stay in our home which we own and he will answer for all her expenses while she is in the UK??She have a good job in Dubai but she doesn't have an impressive bank balance.

Once again,thanks Terpe for your usual good advice..
