Hi everyone,

It's been a while since I posted here. My hubby and I is now really busy compiling all docs for my kids' settlement visa application.

Previously I have mentioned my situation. We have looked at the requirements needed and some of the docs I can't provide hence my hubby (my kids' stepfather) have said that he would be more than glad to lodge in the application for them and he will be the sponsor. Since all our properties is under his name, all our income for the properties also goes into his bank account so we have decided that he will be the sponsor rather than me. I only work part time since I look after my tow other young kids (2, and 9 mos) and my savings is not really good.

Given the situation above, I've got questions / clarifications

1. What documents do we have to provide? Is it just the same?
2. I provide all the financial support to my 2 kids in the Phils, remittances is all under my name since I am the one sending it. How do we go about this?
3. When I gave birth to my daughter I didn't include my ex's name on her birth cert but stupidly when I filed for annulment (bigamous marriage) my daughter's name was mentioned on the annulment papers and this annulment papers were submitted to the embassy when I filled for my settlement application last 2004. It's a bit complicated I know (just found out that I was the second wife when I gave birth to her hence I didn't declare that he was the father as I was too confused at that time). I don't know whether to answer the father's detail on her application because his name was not on her birth cert.
4. My husband is receiving disability benefit (he's got CMT, a muscle wasting disease that affects his legs, he has got a walking disability) will it affect our application?

We are planning to lodge in their application when we visit Phils this coming December hence I am now preparing in advance. I just really don't know what to do. Is there anyone in this forum who filed for their step children?

Appreciate your help guys.
