Guys,
As we are going to have our first baby and have no one to help us, we would like to invite my wife's niece as an assistant. Our mothers are both too old to be of help. Also, her niece has studied her MSc in the UK and knows English and the environment very well. There are a few questions and I would be thankful if someone could share knowledge and experience.
1) Is that a common decision to invite a level two member of relative where mothers are not available? I mean, does such a decision make sense?
2) How can I calculate the amount of fund we should demonstrate to support a 3 month sponsorship?
3) Is "General Visit" the right type of visa she should apply for - she is going to stay for 3 months?
4) Does she need to demonstrate evidence for her own available funds although we sponsor her application and living cost?
5) Her niece has an inbound (Home to UK) flight ticket. As demonstrating flight ticket is compulsory within the application process, would that suffice if we only provide her outbound ticket and she uses her own inbound ticket?
Thank you very much for your help.
