Questions about in-laws and parents super visa - Application, funds, invitation letter and timelines

[sameermaira]

Hi.

We need to bring in one of our parents by Feb 15 2021 and I am starting the process for Super Visa application for all of them starting with my mother in-law. I have a few questions listed below. Would appreciate if someone could help answer these.

1. I created an account for my mother-in law and I'm the one completing the application on her behalf. Is this okay? I have not selected the representative or information release option. [I asked this on another thread and the answer I got is YES so you can ignore this one]
   
   
2. My wife will write the invitation letter but she is not currently working so what document can she share to show sufficient funds? Should she supplement her letter with my income statement and tax returns?
   
   
3. My in-laws don't have any saved funds readily available like Fixed Deposits etc that they can show. My MIL is dependent on my father-in-law. They do have a fixed asset which is the house they stay in. Can they show that? If yes, what kind of document will be required? They do have jewelry that can be submitted in the bank against which they could get some funds. Would that work?
   
   
4. How many months back do they check for funds? If we transfer some money from her or if they borrow it or if they pledge the jewelry, it will happen now so there really isn't a history for a couple of months. How do people manage this? Also, what date should we ideally submit their application so that we get enough time to make this period?
   
   
5. Is it possible for my MIL not to show any funds and instead us saying that we will sponsor her stay and make sure she returns to her home country?
   
   
6. How much money will she need to show for a 10 month stay?
   
   
7. Does it make sense for us to apply for a visitor visa instead of a super visa because we know she may end up staying for 3-6 months only after which we are hoping to get my parents for another 3-6 months. Someone mentioned on a different post that if its just the visitor visa then the applicant is responsible to show the funds required whereas for the super visa, our invitation letter and our funds hold more importance so confused.
   
   
8. Should I apply for my parents super visa together? In my case, both my mother and father are planning to come. My dad is dependent on my mother and they have funds to show. But I'd like to invite them and show my income towards their stay too or best case show both.
   
   
9. When is the right time to start applying? Am I starting too late?

Thanks!
Sam
