TiggerFish Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Based on the past performance for June as detailed Here you should be OK. However take note of "You can use the information provided by the 'Guide to visa processing times' tool, as a guide to how long it may take to process your application, although the information cannot be used as a guarantee of the processing time for your visa. This is because visa applications are assessed individually and individual circumstances can mean processing times may vary." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theoldgit Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Without wishing to be pernickety, you don't apply for any type of visa, your Mother in Law does - sorry but it's an old chestnut of mine. I would suggest she applies for a visa for a family visit, the requirements are the same but in the event the application is refused she would have the right of appeal.
