VAF4A help...

[Terpe]

.......Hi Sir Terpe, thank you so much for the quick response to my quiries. The father of my daughter was a filipino, single parent here. Does she need to have a separate application form as a dependant child visa? I will bring her again with me next time when we come back here as a fiancee Visa route.
have a good day and thank you again!

Warm regards and God bless!

In that case the answer is yes she will need her own application.

It's somewhat unusual route to take for a fiancee when a child is involved.
However, in principle there is provision in the UK immigrtaion rules for children of fiancee's

Here's what UKBA state:-

Entry clearance with a view to settlement may be granted to a minor dependent child of a parent who has been admitted, or is seeking admission, as a
fiancé(e) under paragraphs 290 to 295 of the Rules provided the following additional requirements are met:

the child is under the age of 18, is unmarried and is not leading an independent life nor formed an independent family unit;

the child can and will be maintained and accommodated adequately without recourse to public funds with the parent admitted or being admitted as a fiancé(e)
or proposed civil partner;

there are serious and compelling family or other considerations which make the child's exclusion undesirable;

that suitable arrangements for the child's care have been made;

there is no other person outside the UK who could be reasonably expected to care for the child;

the terms of any custody order relating to the child do not prevent the child being taken to another country with a view to settlement there.

In assessing whether there are serious and compelling considerations it would normally be undesirable to exclude a child who had largely been cared for by the 'fiancé(e) / proposed civil partner parent'.

Concerning application forms, yes, you'll need to submit two forms VAF4A, one for your fiancee visa and the other for the visa application of your child as a minor dependent of YOU. This also means payment of 2 visa application fees.
You will need to declare your child on your application and also submit one for the child.
If granted then both visa's will be issued for 6 months duration only and during this time you will be expected to get married and submit an application of FLR for yourself and your child.

As I said, it's an unusual route.......is there any special reason to follow this?

Finally, please be informed that your fiance/sponsor will need to meet the UKBA Financial Requirement at a higher income threshold of £22,400 for 1 child in addition to the partner

Hello again Sir Terpe, Good evening there! My daughter is 8 years old, i need to bring her back with me as my fiance don't like my daughter to left behind. We are thankful to our God, that we are one of the few choosen people that we are granted in a visitors visa with my daughter.

My fiance want to sort our application forms for fiancee visa on January on his holiday before we go back in the Philippines with my daughter. I am confused regarding the application form for fiancee visa, is it need to be in the Philippines i need to apply online? or we can do it here while i am still in the UK to bring with me going back in Phils with my daughter? We downloaded the link that you give me here and printed it out already this The forms you'll need are:-

VAF4A - Family Settlement Application Form

Appendix 2 - Financial Requirement Form

We will fill in the answer with color black or blue ink pen with this settlement form, and for my minor dependant child i am going to declare that she will be travelling with me again. Is it the same for minor dependant child like fiancee visa form to download and print and will put our answer with color black or blue pen? I am going to take the English language test first in Cagayan de oro.

We are planning to get married here on August next year to put on our intended date to marry on the fiancee visa form. We will go home on March, is it possible to apply on line for fiancee visa and dependant child visa to fill in so i can bring the documents while we are still in the UK to bring to the Phils and apply there soon after English test requirement and tuberculosis test in Manila. Many thanks in advance, have a good weekend and God bless!
