as i want her with me
but i am afraid she could affect negativlly on my application

i do need your advice , should i start now or wait until i get my visa then apply for her later ??????????

thanks

Moheb gave you the right answer before, see his post:

Additional Info:
Other relatives may be included in the application if they are wholly or substantially reliant on the employee for financial support for their basic needs of food, shelter and clothing and they have been reliant on the employee for that support for a substantial period.

They must also be more reliant on the employee for support than on any other person or source. A relative may also be considered dependent on the employee if they are reliant on them for financial support because they have a mental or physical disability which stops them from earning a living to support themselves.

Other relatives dependent on the employee or employee's spouse may include, for example, an aged, unmarried relative.

Dependent family members who are 18 years of age or over, should obtain form 47A and attach it to the visa application.

Good Luck,

thanks mr fadel for you reply but moheb did not answer my burning question till now , as shown in the _link_
so my question again i will copy and past it here :

what about the medical check for those dependant relative,
in other words : what if the dependant relative got some medical consideration,would it affect the whole application ?
and logically the aged dependant relative got some medical considerations(chronic diseas or illness) ore any geriatric problems .
thanks
