spouse given settlement visa but children denied help

[aphrodite78]

the eco,s decision

i have refused your visa application on this occassion through reference to the above paragraphs(s) of the immigration rules . this decision was made on the merits of the application.

the eco,s reasons and supporting evidence

i am not satisfied you meet the paragraph of the rules above

Because:

you propose to travel to the uk with your mother who has made an application for entry clearance as a spouse . whilst you have submitted an affidavit from your father you have submitted no evidence that your mother has legal custody of you . i addition you have provided no evidence of your fathers current whereabouts or that your mother has had sole responsibilty for your upbringing i am not therefore satisfied that you meet the requirments of paragraph 301(i)(b) of the immigration rules
i therefore refuse your application.

in reaching this decision to refuse your application i have given careful consideration to your qualified right to family and private life under article 8 of the european convention of human rights however i am satisfied that any perceived interference with your right to family life under article 8 is proportionate to the aim of maintaining an effective immigration control and does not therefore breach your convention rights. in addition , i am not satisfied that there are any insurmountable obstacles to your family member travelling to the philippines to enjoy family life with you in this country .


please can any one give any advice

can you tell us if your wife was previously married to the father of the kids. and why didn't you give the whereabouts of the father?

i have a friend who has been previously married to the father of the kids, they disclosed everything i.e. the whereabouts of the father and that he is absolutely giving all the rights to my friend and he even said that if the eco would like to confirm the details he gave his phone number and address as well. the father of the kids is living with his new family and the custody was given to my friend. they got their visas and they are now all british citizen.

i am sure you got the right to appeal and if you could prove that the mother is the one providing all the needs of the child (i.e. financially and emotionally) then i think you have a good chance of having the decision overturned. this is what i think but i am sure there is someone in this forum who is more experienced as they have been thru this. i hope you get their visas soon. fingers cross as i am about to file my kids apps as well and looks like i am into a bumpy ride as well.

keep us posted wish you all the luck.
