Hi

My wife applied successfully for her first UK familiy visit visa earlier this year - no interview and issued within a couple of days - it was valid for 4 months from mid May to mid Sep. We went to UK and returned at the end of July. Our situation is unchanged since the first application except that my very elderly grandmother has just been diagnosed with cancer and I am thinking of arranging another visit soon together with our 2 young children. Details about our first application are here:

I have heard that a 2nd family visit visa is unlikely to be granted within a year of the first one.

Can anyone advise on this matter ?

Thanks

There is no prohibition upon applying for visit visas in quick succession. What is relevant is the length of time that was previously spent in the UK as well as the purpose and length of the now-intended visit. You'd be pushed to find a more genuine reason than to visit your children's sick great-grandmother and, presumably, you wouldn't be staying a matter of months as previously. Given those circumstances, I don't see why your wife should not apply now.

Scouse.

Thank you !
