settlement visa - daughter

[jbt]

you don't need a letter from your ex if you have some form of a sole custody document from a court, as you need to prove you have sole responsibility for the child, but the more evidence you have the better, so a notarized statement from the other parent would be good if you can get one.

with my stepson, we got his father to write a letter giving his approval of his son moving to the uk, even thou we didn't need it, as his father is not named on his birth cert and his parents were never married, but i thought it would help his visa app. we didn't notarise the letter, as we got him to sign it, and and also sent a copy of his driving license which had his signature on..

also you better explain in a letter of support, that once settled you intended to apply for a settlement visa for your daughter

who's been looking after your daughter? your mother?, does your ery muchex have contact with your daughter ? and have you evidence that you sent money to who ever is caring for your daughter?

thanks Iain and joebloggs, thank you very much for the infos., my married sister and her husband is looking after my daughter and me and my husband is sending money for my daughter monthly and we've got all the receipts w/us, w/ the monthly support we're sending, it also includes a little amount of help for my sister's family as well.

my daughter knows her father, 'coz he lives in the next city they're living in and not that far away, he's also married and got a family of his own, we never got married and he's not mentioned on her birth certificate, they see each other very rarely, like xmas or birthdays, maybe at least twice or thrice a year. my daughter is turning 15 and eversince, i separated from her father, more or less 12 years now, he never gave any financial support. i just hope he'll give my daughter a letter w/out playing hard to get.

i do not have a sole custody form from the court, i wonder if your wife has this? if so, how did she get one or how's the procedure or requirements needed to obtain one?

thank you very much again joebloggs and sorry if i always bother you w/ all my queries.

best regards,
