Visit visa rejections

[Raj67]

I had applied for settlement visa for my mother in 2015 and her application was rejected and also withheld in the appeals, ever since that time her visit visa applications are also being rejected citing reason that she would not leave the country.
Is there any way to showcase that her circumstances have since changed and she does not want to settle but just visit me.

Unfortunately, by applying for a Settlment visa and being refused, effectively shuts the door in future visitor visas due to the intention stated that she wishes to settle in the UK. HO would consider her a high risk.

Thanks for the reply, so is the only option is to again apply for settlement visa?

Unlikely she will be successful with a Settlement visa application.

What were the settlement visa refusals from the application made in 2015??
