Is income support acceptable?

[darren-b]

When we went to the immigration advisory service in London they told us that we can apply from here and no need to go back to the Philippines. I also thought that you couldn't switch but this guy at the IAS is representing us and he was adamant you can. He also says we can appeal if the visa is refused because my daughter's human rights would be affected if she could not be with her father.

Not convinced by the human rights arguement as you could always live outside the uk eg in the philippines. I hope your advisor knows what if is doing as you are definately applying outside the normal rules.

you've got no other option but to try as your b/f is still married..
and with a bb its worth trying

[joebloggs]

YOU can not change to a fiancee visa, and that is that.

can't apply for a fiancee visa as he is still married, but possibly a unmarried partner one, or possibly a visa to get access to his child.

Hi joebloggs

you seem to know what you are talking about so wanted to run another query by you.
The chap at the IAS suggested we get a paternity DNA test done for the visa application as he says the birth certificate is not proof of paternity? What do you think? Is this necessary? Thanks.

should not need to, but if they are suspicious of anything they could ask you
