Hi,

I am engaged and getting married in March to my long time fiancee of 3 years. I am a British citizen but my fiancee has a daughter. As soon as we are married I would like to apply for them to join me in the UK. Her visa is not a problem but its the step daughter's one that I am thinking will be a problem. The daughter has just turned 6 and I have known her since she was born. My fiancee lives alone in a house that i rent for her there. I send her money for rent, upkeep, school fees for the daughter. She is in full responsibility of the daughter and the girl's daughter does not provide anything at the moment as I do. He has other women with children and just had a baby with my fiancee when she was 19 as she is now 25. Therefore he has nothing to do with her and the daughter and they have never been married.


What is the best way to go about this. I would not like the father to know of the visa application as I do not know what he will say as I have never met him.
