Hi Marie, and welcome from me also.

What is the status of your child's biological father ?

That is an aspect that will need attention.

[mariecatubo]

hi grahamw48,
my son is using his father's surname.. im worried that it might be a problem also for the visa..what should i do? or is that ok that my son is using his fathers surname, or need to get a power of attorney??
and i also noticed and read here post are they left their children here in philippines then when they get spouse visa in UK, they start to get their children.. but i cant leave my son here,, what do you think the best to do? i need an advice please..

Hi mariecatubo welcome here
have you been married to the father of your son? ..if not, you can get parental consent from him(father) if you want to bring your son to the uk with you as dependent.

[mariecatubo]

im single mother and never been married... im going to get a power from attorney that the father of my son is aware that im going to bring my son with me.. is that ok yeah??
thanks sars_notd_virus

[joebloggs]

does the father have any contact with his son ?

[sars_notd_virus]

im single mother and never been married... im going to get a power from attorney that the father of my son is aware that im going to bring my son with me.. is that ok yeah??
thanks sars_notd_virus

your welcome...
but , no its not power of attorney,,,,,..the fathers name appears on birth certificate, so what you need is parental consent from the father of the child , which allows you to bring (your son) to the uk to travel and settle...it needs to be signed by you and him(father) and be notarized by the lawyer...it needs to be included in your visa documents if you plan to take your son to go with you as your dependent and settle in the uk.

hello and welcome

[mariecatubo]

yes they still have contact to each other.. he doesn't mind if i will take my son with me,

[grahamw48]

yes they still have contact to each other.. he doesn't mind if i will take my son with me,

That's good news then, but it is still most important that all the legal (permission) documents are signed, as mentioned above.

[mariecatubo]

i will going to apply a visa soon, a fiance visa.. and i want to take my 5 yrs old son with me,, my question is: is my son will be included in my fiance visa?? or i will get different visa for him?? and what is that visa for my son??.. please help me...

[mariecatubo]

thanks everyone for for your reply.. i have some more question now..
what visa should i get for my 5 yr old son?? is he included in my fiance visa?? or my son will get different visa? what is that kind of visa for him??

[joebloggs]

its the same form you fill in, one for you, one for your son, send them both together and its 2 fees to pay , he's your dependent, so once you get your visa's, basically what happens to you regarding your visa's should also happen to your son.

you need to show you have sole responsibility and sole custody of your son.

[mariecatubo]

hello joebloggs,
so what do you mean one for me and one for my son? you mean i will fill up 2 fiance visa form? or just 1 fiance visa form and will put his name also as my dependant??
or i will get dependent visa form him?..

[mariecatubo]
