Documents: Family and Child Visit Visa APRROVED

[melovesengland]

We have been granted 2 visit visas recently for my daughter (child visit visa) and for my sister (family visit visa). They came here in the UK and spent 3 weeks with us. We've been to few places but the most important thing for me was I had a chance to hold, see and spent quality time with my daughter Nina.

I just want to share the documents that we submitted and hoping it will help others as well.

[melovesengland]

Well, thank you really because many of you helped us out many many times now so I think it is fair for me to help our other members out and share a bit of my rusty knowledge. I am very glad that they gave me a chance to be with my daughter after 2 years of not holding her. It was emotional at the end but I knew meself that its not the end, there will always be next time.
