I can only laugh
I am laughing here coz they ask for the details of your parents, brothers and sisters on form 47SK. My husband has 11 brothers and sisters and I have 12. Well, it could be worst - imagine if they asked for our nephews and nieces details???? :scared:

Worst bit is trying to get their middle names out of them! One of my Brother in laws has the middle name "Mary", he wasn't too happy parting with that bit of info!

One of my customers in the UK had a similar long list, he tried applying quite a few years back, they didn't let him in, the reason given too many brothers and sisters! I hope they don't do things like that anymore!!

Hi Jenny
Even if they do we should not have any problem coz all our brothers and sisters are over 45 so to me to bring them here I would need to win the 18 million Tatslotto to sponsor them all, besides, none of them speaks English.

It is certainly no basis to refuse an application under today's law.
