FLR (HRO) Visa

[narotam333]

Hi Members
My Dad came here on visitor visa and fell ill in August which results in minor heart attack. He is already a stroke survivor with condition Vascular Dementia , high blood pressure , diabetes and long term CKD. After that he has been taken into emergency two times again for high potassium level and severe pneumonia. We extended his stay by contacting CIT team. As his body is very fragile we dont want him to travel more so we contacted solicitor. Solicitor suggests to go for FLR(HRO) . Just wanted to check here how difficult is to get get visa approved for FLR (HRO) under article 3. GP is recognising his condition , will his letter be sufficient to grant him 30 months of leave. Along with him my mother is his full time carer and applying as a dependent. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance

No. GP letter alone at max can bring someone's back to work after long absence but certainly won't aid in securing any visa. Also, keep in mind the side effects of what your solicitor has proposed in applying flrhro is that, in case of having refusal it will shut the doors of all subsequent visitor applications.

Thanks Seagul
Solicitor is saying that at-least as your intention was never to stay , it would not curtail visitor visa. As they had plans to leave and they have approval to enter Singapore in September but he had been emergency twice after that and already been in fragile health to take long flights but will this confirmation from GP he is unable to take long flights and can not travel is enough to get approval for securing 30 months of DL. I have been reading everywhere that threshold against this category is very high but could not found any case that there is risk of flying to some one health. I am not sure as i was reading a case where the child came was already sick so ho doesn't grant the visa same is case with me , when my father came he already have certain conditions but recent change of events make his health more fragile. I am still evaluating my options and If getting chance of succeed in very low or negligible, i can think about not putting any red flag on their visitor visa. Any help will be appreciated

Thanks

I deeply commiserate over your predicament but a gp letter alone would certainly be insufficient. You would need an abundance of evidences from the hospital whilst keep paying their bills.

Hi All ,

As per detailed discussion with our solicitor , he is still saying that there is emotional aspect and private life aspect and even the home office hand book says the GP letter is also acceptable.We are still not sure as the application is fee exempt will it be considered on the aspect that he is getting better family care here as compared to Singapore where my other brother is on visa and can move any time from Singapore and I am a British citizen , so I am settled here so I can provide better care. He is not quantifying the application for any outcome as saying it has strengths and weakness both. One more thing on the mandatory documents list he is said last question "whether special arrangement can be made for travel" can be removed as of now if GP is not willing to write some thing in our favour as in these application home office always engage and ask for more evidence. Basically he is saying the application can be supported from below questions from GP and rest on having a stable care and family life because they keep on travelling where my brother moved because of job.

What health issues your dad is suffering from
What health problems he has faced since arriving in the UK
What medication he is on
If he needs to meet with his doctor on a regular basis to review medication, this should be mentioned
Whether he is able to fly and what risks a long-haul flight, such as the one to Singapore may pose to his health
What day to day care and assistance he requires
His short term and long term prognosis

Just for our assurance we are looking second opinion please let us if any one provide any pointer.

Thanks in Advance and Any help is appreciated.

If you are a daily newspaper reader then must have been noticing that in UK the hospital admissions have ceaselessly been surging where even the patients have to wait for the treatment even for securing a bed for several days due to the resurrection of virus. On the other hand, if you compare it with Singapore where as per few reliable websites & third party links, there is a world class medical treatment available and also been renowned for its better life expectancy rate. Anyways, choice is yours as at least you are now are well aware the side effects.

Don’t listen to silly useless solicitors
99 percent of solicitors working in UK , unfortunately money making machines .
If I had authority I would give order to ban solicitors to take immigration related cases in uk
