鉴于大家的要求，魔头明天特别来分享一下5年投亲签证的胜利教训。 不外每集体状况不同，不要过于教条主义，魔头写的并非必胜宝典。 大家还要详细状况详细剖析~~
魔头家人的投亲配景：
魔头的家人在请求此次签证前曾经请求过投亲签证4次，分别在2001， 2003， 2007 和2010年。因为每次确实不需求过长时间，所以均请求的短时间（6个月）签证。 每次都是北京递交，大略审批时间都在2-3天。
魔头的家人本次于20十二年3月27号在北京签证核心递交请求，4月19号收到确认信息，当天家人亲身支付投亲签证，签证到2017年。因为两头阅历清明节和英国的复活节，审批时间在3个WEEK任务日内。
言归正传，先说说投亲签证的根本知识：
参考民间网页：
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas-i妹妹igration/visiting/family/apply/
http://ukinchina.fco.gov.uk/zh/visiting-the-uk/visas/
假如您打算拜候在英国寓居的家庭成员，您需请求家庭拜候签证。假如您之前没有去过英国，您将仅仅被准予请求为期6个月的拜候。一旦您拜候过英国，您将有资历请求更长期的签证（然而每次拜候至多只准予停留180天的时间，或者说十二个月内至多只能停留180天）所以说，每次探寻英国，请不要逾期勾留！不然会影响你的下次签证请求。。
此类拜候请求与惯例拜候请求独一不同的是家庭拜候请求假如被拒签后是有权上诉的。
家庭成员定义如下：
配偶
儿子或女儿
父亲或母亲
兄弟或姐妹，定义为:父亲的儿子或女儿
母亲的儿子或女儿
祖父母，定义为:母亲的母亲

(配偶的兄弟或姐妹 (已在下面定义))

特别留意：20十二年4月30号之后，一切在中国请求的英国签证都变卦为在线请求，望文生义，就是要在线填写请求表，预定时间，而后拿着反对文件和资料去请求签证。
请求进程：
您能够在您方案启程日期以前3个月以内请求签证。强烈倡议，在未失掉您的签证后果前，不要确认您的旅行支配。
签证请求需多长期？
在请求日期之后的3个礼拜内审理90%的非假寓类请求，在6个礼拜内审理此类请求的98%，在十二个礼拜内审理100%；
签证费用是多少？家庭拜候者 （请以民间信息为最初原则）
短时间（不超过6个月，单次或屡次出境） 800
长时间（2年无效期） 2785
长时间（5年无效期） 5105
长时间（10年无效期） 7370
此外，即便家人请求一年以上的签证，然而大使馆能够按照状况，给你短时间的签证，然而其实不会退回差价！ 这点儿要想分明。
支付您的资料
提交了一切的资料之后，你会收到一个查问号码，能够在下列之处查问请求进度，一旦有了却果，就能去支付。

魔头每次都是在英国给家人筹备好相干的材料（包罗填写请求表-除了签名），除了必需在中国实现的以外。而后寄回中国。固然在国际的家人一定要分明地知道请求表填写的内容和筹备的相干资料。 这些年来魔头筹备的材料清单，说真实的简直没有变动过，万变不离其中。 那就说说我的清单，这个是放在递交材料的第一页。不外大家要按照本人的状况，略微做一些改动。
在这里我特别阐明一下，这个是以一名家人的筹备材料为准，假如需求多名家人，请做适量的更改。
此外魔头采用了一切中文文件到中央公证处英文公证的形式而代替了集体或者翻译公司翻译，其中的缘故是：公证更拥有法律性，正式性以及牢靠性，此外一旦公证将一生无效，除非无情况的变动，不然能够始终使用。 还有就是魔头家人筹备的一下资料，都额定提供一套复印件，这样同时提交，一切的元件都会在签证受理终了后出借，不会形成任何原件滞留在大使馆的状况产生。 固然假如能提供英文的原件，就无需另行筹备中文翻译了，好比约请函等都是间接英文的. 固然有英文或者语法不合错误之处，你们也就对付看吧~~~ 我这匆忙更新，你们就不要叫真了~~~

（这点魔头要说，假如请求家人投亲，魔头倡议最佳让家人提供资历资金证实，有人说究竟是多少才叫足够，以我集体为案例， 每次家人探寻都在1-3个月摆布，提供10-15万人民币的资金证实。确保是家人有足够资金能够COVER全部VISIT，足够的资金包管家人来英国的目的不是为了投奔或者支付接济等，固然假如状况分歧适，请看集体状况）Appropriate Application Fee 正确的签证费 1Passport size photo 合格的照片 1

因为魔头本次为家人请求的是5年长时间签证，固然在英家人一定要有足够时间的签证。所以约请函上仍是写了一些请求的缘故，而缘故的考量不过乎下列这些点：
•Short-term and long-term visit visas Close
A short-term visit visa allows you to come to the UK for a maximum of 6 months (or a maximum of 十二 months if you are accompanying an academic visitor).
A long-term visit visa is valid for 1, 2, 5 or 10 years. The application fee is higher than for a short-term visit visa.
If we grant you a long-term visit visa, you are allowed unlimited entry into the UK for the time that the visa is valid. However, you can only stay in the UK for a maximum of 180 days during any 十二-month period. For example, a 2-year visit visa does not entitle you to stay in the UK for 2 years.
We reco妹妹end that you limit your stay to the period stated on your visa application. If you spend long periods in the UK as a visitor, our officers may doubt your intentions.
If you breach the conditions of your entry to the UK, we may ban you from returning for up to 10 years.
If you apply for a long-term visit visa, we consider:
owhether you can show a frequent and sustained need to come to the UK (such as family links or an established business connection);
owhether your personal circumstances are likely to change significantly while the visa is valid - so you should give us as much evidence as possible that your circumstances will remain the same;
owhether you have shown that you can support yourself in the UK without public funds, and that you intend to leave the UK at the end of each visit; and
oyour previous travel history as shown in a current valid passport.
You should think carefully before applying for a long-term visit visa. We may refuse the visa or issue it for a shorter period than you have applied for (if, for example, the evidence that you provide does not support a long-term visit visa application, or does not meet the visa requirements). If we refuse the application or issue the visa for a shorter period, we will not refund your application fee.
If you have not applied for a UK visa before, we advise that you should consider applying for a short-term visit visa first.
约请函 - 家人
这个只是一个例子，请各位自重，千万不要COPY！！！ 一定本人写！！！！！！不然千人一面的约请函一定会让CASE WORKER恶感，不要管他人用不必，请你集体一定不要COPY！！！ 不然， 魔头只能画个圈圈咒骂你！给家人的约请函，只有舒适一些就好，假如之前有过莱英的阅历，能够略微提一下。

Dear Mum;
How are you these days? I have not seen you since my last family visit at the beginning of 20十一. I miss you so much!
Since I have working in XX for X years, and really enjoyed the working environment and life style here. I know you must feel happy for me. England is a really nice and friendly place. I believe you must remember we were spending few months happiness time at London in winter 20xx, su妹妹er 20xx and 20xx. I can not forget those wonderful memories. It must be good idea for you to come and visit me and your daughter-in-law again. Su妹妹er is coming again; Great Britain will become much more beautiful and attractive. We can visit Glasgow, Cambridge, Lake District and more places in Scotland and Wales this time, also we can have a short travelling to Orkney Islands. Of course, we will have our shopping days.
Do not worry about dad. He will be fine. He might be too busy working to miss you, of course I am just joking.
So mum, please don’t hesitate, get prepared and pack up. I am waiting for you. I really can’t wait to see you.
Take best care of yourself!
xxx

To Whom It May Concern
Dear Sir
Hereby I confirm that I have working for XX N years since 20XX, and I am missing my mother so much. I’d like to invite my mother come to visit me again. I will provide acco妹妹odation for her, and she supplies her own finial support during her visit period as before.
Regards to my mum’s family visit visa application, she would like to apply 5 years valid multi entry visa instead of 6 months this time. The reasons are: We would like to meet each other every year if possible, but my personal holiday is relatively less comparing with my mum’s more flexible holiday, therefore this makes her family visit to UK a lot easier. Secondly, my mum always has enough funds to support her own holiday trip, we (includes me) never considering any public funds, and we do not need this at all. In additional, my dad and my big close family relatives are in China, my mum intends to leave the UK at the end of each visit, never exceed the limit. Finally, my mum applied UK short term family visit visas few times before in 2001, 2007, 2010 and 20十一, these should show a very positive record and reference for her.
Thank you very much for your kind consideration, and I am looking forward to hear from you.
Best Regards,
Yours truly,

公司提供的第三方证实信
这个信就是从第三方口两头接证明了请求人和在英家人的瓜葛以及所陈说的所有事实， 其中提出的症结就是：约请家人来英为探寻， 有中央寓居，而且再次阐明请求长时间签证的用意，固然也说出来再英家人的任务状况。固然这个要按照集体状况进行向对应的变动。不要COPY，一定要按照本身状况作出最齐备的筹备。

最初写一个STATEMENT
假如家人不懂英文，或者英文其实不流畅或者交流有问题，除了失掉在机场的帮忙以外，能够本人给家人筹备一个简略的STATEMENT。阐明一上情况。
这个其实不需求提交给大使馆，在家人签证拿到之后，定好了机票，这个能够给家人携带在身上，在出境英国的时分，给移民局的人看。
假如不懂英文就写不懂英文，假如是不克不及达到很好的交流就按事实写。

However, you can only stay in the UK for a maximum of 180 days during any 十二-month period. For example, a 2-year visit visa does not entitle you to stay in the UK for 2 years
是说就算签道年或者5年，每一年在英国也只能呆180天啊
