She needs to show a good history of visits to the UK. It is not asking for FUTURE visits information.
She needs to submit substantial evidence of her social, family and financial circumstances in her home country.

thanks for ur reply...she has got property from which she gets rent every month....my father also gets rents from his property...and my brother who lives in abroad also supports her every month....so it becomes suffiecient amount monthly she gets...thats why she has got savings...she can easily support herself...just to make sure that i wrote abt this visit...and nothing else...like future ones i didnt write anything...do i need to tell them abt it?? becoz financial circumstances is quite good...she is coming for visit...

Same requirements for 6 months or 2 year visa.
Applicant must prove strong ties.
Visitor visas are more difficult to get now, especially for elderly parents.
