Sponsor visitors visa for USA permanent resident urgent

Post by atabs01 » Thu Jan 05, 2017 10:00 pm

Greetings I would really like your feedback on this,
My father is a permanent resident (green card holder) of the USA with a Cameroonian Nationality. He has to attend the graduation of his nephew in the UK and we found out last minute, hence we have submitted and expedited application for a standard UK visitors visa.
He has basically no Income in the USA and I am sponsoring the entire trip. I am US citizen. I am not sure if I should send supporting documents for myself as I am the sponsor. He will be staying with a family friend who is a priest in the UK and they practically don't make any money, I am not sure if I can include their financial info as well.
He has an invitation letter from my cousin, but he is currently residing in Switzerland, for a new job amd cant be a sponsor as he just started working.
The application doesn't mention supporting documents for a sponsor in another country but rather a sponsor who is legal in the UK (unless I am mistaken) :? . My question is, should I mail my father's application without any financial evidence from himself and include just mine?
In his application I did mention that he has assets in Cameroon, but at the moment we cannot get his financial documents from Cameroon with such short notice.
Has any one had a similar experience and what was their outcome? Any advice would be duly appreciated. Thanks!

Probably just as important is to prove to caseworker that visitor will return home after visit.

Where is 'home'? Will he be returning to the USA or to Cameroon after his UK visit?

Hello,Thanks for your reply, Home is USA and Cameroon as he has a green card from USA and still holds a Cameroon passport. He will be in the UK for just three days and head to Cameroon for a month before coming back to the USA.
