Hello there!

My wife is now a British Citizen (since last November), she has now said that she wants her daughter to join us here in the UK.

I've briefly looked into the Visa requirement and have been told that one of the requirements is that we will need a letter from the child's father (wife's ex-husband) to say he allows my wife to take the child from the Philippines to live in UK. The child is currently 16 years old.

The problem we have is that the child's father has not been involved in her life for many, many years and we have no contact details for him. My wife said that the last thing she heard was that he was living somewhere on Cebu Island.

What happens in a case like this? No contact details for a child's father, so how can consent be obtained??

Many thanks
Dave.
