What the petition asks
Please help me have my parents attend my graduation ceremony and meet their new born granddaughter Nara. My parents require a visa to enter the UK and their recent visa applications have been refused. There is no right of appeal, hence I have started this petition. I believe the refusal is unfair
Their visit visa applications have been refused for what I believe wrong reasons.
Both my parents are over 60 years old and have lived their entire lives in their hometown, yet this is what they have received in the refusal letter:
“Given this, I am not satisfied that you are settled or established, or that you have shown sufficiently strong social or economic ties to your country of residence...”
Really?! Then what would be considered as “settled” or having “strong social or economic ties”?!
