If most of the supporting documents are from your side then there won't be any affect at all. Because some months ago one member shared his experience where his parents/relative visit visa application was rejected because the applicant's visa was near to expire and probably he/she had attached his supporting documents.

What I have understood from your reply is
There is no problem in applying my mother's visit visa. Is my understanding right??

Hi respected moderators and senior members
I have one question
Q: Which visitor visa is for my mother's visit
(1) Standard or (2) Family visit
Or any other please provide me link or information?
Regards

The Family Visitor visa doesn't exist anymore.

There is only the Standard Visit visa but family ties and circumstances will be assessed when they are a factor:

Hi respected senior members
I just want to know
Q: How much bank statement will be enough for one person for UK visit visa?

[Zerubbabel]

I usually send 3 months and it's enough.

So they get:

- 3 months bank statements
- 3 payslips showing the same salaries that went to the bank

Mostly my mother will show savings from her side.

When I invited my mother or other family members, I never showed savings on my side. However, they showed their own savings.

In 90% of the cases, the Home Office granted visitor visas for my family without any issue.

However, recently, someone from my family got refused because the week before the application, the person borrowed some money from family and put it in the account to "make it look better".

So it's important to be honest and not to try to make the situation look better by playing with the money.

Other important thing that can trigger a refusal: make sure the money intended for the trip is reasonable. For my family, they usually claim they are going to spend a few hundred pounds towards the trip and I write in the invitation that I will host them and cover ALL their expenses.

The reasons is, if your family member has a salary of £120/month in his country, but claims £3000 will be used for the trip, the Home Office would take the position that no one would use the equivalent of 25 salaries just for a leisure trip. It's like someone in the UK making £2500/month but willing to spend £62500 to visit family. It doesn't make sense.

Also, show a maximum of attachment to the home country. This is KEY. If they feel the person has more family/attachment in the UK than in home country, the visa will be refused.
