Now, to be honest, this is going to be complicated and an uphill task. You will definitely need help of a very good immigration solicitor. By good I do not mean the ones that advertise on many tv channels. Many of these advisors/solicitors who advertise on tv are basically idiots who just know how to give false hopes and assurances and try to empty peoples pockets and then leave them in cold.

You will really need to establish what you are saying is true. UKBA won't just take your word for it. You will really have to prove that your brother is deaf and dumb, and there isn't anyone to look after him. If you are not going back to Bangladesh quite regularly, then the case worker could argue that there is someone back in Bangladesh who is able to look after your brother and hence he does not need to come to UK.

You will also have to prove that you will be able to maintain and accommodate him without recourse to public funds. If you do not have a good income, this will be difficult to prove.

You will really have to do some hard work to achieve what you want, but there are no guarantees. As per home office, you could always send money to your brother, get him in deaf and dumb school so he can live an independent life etc.

Now could you give more details about this

How old is your brother?
When did your parents pass away?
Where does he live? Alone? with relatives?
How often do you visit Bangladesh?

How old is your brother?
My brother is 48 years old.

Rather than going into all the details, I would say, it does seem like an impossible job.

As far as UKBA is concerned, he has lived without his parents since 2005, and it proves he is able to live there. In about 3 years, you have only been to see him once, and it proves you do not play any part in his lookafter.

Having a lawyer is not a guarantee that you will get a favourbale outcome, but without a lawyer you have no chance and a refusal is guaranteed.

You need to see an honest solicitor who tells the truth. You do not go and ask a lawyer to make an application, because if you do, he will just make an application even if he knows it will be refused.

You go and see a lawyer and take his opinion if its possible to make an application. I am saying this to satisfy you. I know you will not succeed.

With what I know accurately about dependent relatives rules, you have no chance whatsoever of getting your brother here.

Being duff and dumb is not such a disability that he cannot look after himself if you send him money.

Once again, if you ask my honest opinion, then let me tell you, just forget about it. You haven't got a chance.

My brother had been with me and my family from 2005 to 2010 until I came to UK. He is not independent and cannot take care of himself. He needs support in everyday chores. He also needs a secured place to live. He needs me to live.

You said he is deaf and dumb.

Surely a deaf and dumb person can use toilet, have a bath, walk, sleep, run, eat.

You live in UK, and he lives in Bangladesh. According to immigration rules, it is conclusive proof that he is NOT dependent on you for his day to day care. Day to day "chores" is not day to day "care".

If he is dependent on "you" for his care (which he is not), then why are you not in bangladesh looking after him?

(I am not being nasty, just trying to explain how it works according to rules).

You can apply for his visa, if you do not mind loosing £1900.
