What does that mean?
Your assumption is, most likely, correct. UK isn't encouraging chain migration.
This OP has been asking the same questions since 2021. I suspect the parents are frequently staying for the full 6 months or longer. OPs parents are Indian citizens, where care is very affordable for a UK resident.Casa wrote: ↑Sat Aug 03, 2024 11:25 amFurther to fellow Moderator meself2's response, you should be aware that the Adult Dependent Visa is the most difficult settlement visa to obtain, with only a minimal chance of success.
You would be required to submit compelling documented evidence that both of your parents need daily help with simple tasks, such as bathing, dressing and preparing meals. Also, this care must not be available in their home country, or is not affordable.
The extremely low percentage of visa applications which succeed, are often following a lengthy and costly Court appeal.
If you apply for a ADV and are refused, this will close the door for visiting the UK in the future, due to their prior intention to settle.
meself2 has asked a very pertinent question about clarifying what you mean by your parents being 'based' in the UK
