Mother In Law (to be) visit for wedding

[tone]

Hi Chaps
Many thanks for the replies.

I was going to send a copy of the wedding invites with the application and deposit into her account a bit of money so that she can show sufficient funds for a 7-10 day visit.
Although I will be covering the costs of the visit - the visa is only £76 so it's quite favourable from that point of view. I've got enough air miles also to arrange the flights just have to pay the tax.

I've asked my Fiancee to get a doctors report for her sisters condition and some photos of them together showing how close mother and daughter are.
As some of you state it's about having a go, my Mum in law will not see one daughters wedding due to her condition, and so seeing her other daughter marry me would be a dream come true!

I'm positive I can put a compelling letter together with enough evidence to show she will return. I actually believe she won't want to leave the Phills for more than a week but we'll see.
Thanks again

Tone

Sounds all good to me Tone.
I wish you all good luck.

Personally I feel confident you will have a successful outcome as everything looks right.
I suggest you also include supporting evidence of your own finances (3 months bank statements plus some savings enough to cover the whole duration of the visit)
Also be sure the accommodation meets requirements.

All looking good

And I'm sure you can, Tone. You could also stress the point that your future mother-in-law is most anxious NOT to be away from her dependent daughter any longer than it takes to be present on her other daughter's [your fiancee's] BIG DAY!

Visit visas are all too often a bit of a "gamble" ... with the UKBA having no compunction in declining requests. But this case is a SPECIAL one ... and it's a gamble DEFINITELY worth taking! So GO FOR IT, my friend ... and Good Luck to you!
