Hello to everyone.....
I wanted to wish everyone a happy christmas...
Thank you for posting this information. I am in a similar situation 2 u. We r also applying for a visa under the 246 rule. R u 100% certain that they will accept an affidavit? I feel like getting a court or resident order is such an extreme length to go, especially if you can come to amicable arrangements outside of court.kate4885 wrote: i ahve now had official word from the Home Office Visa advisory board who said -
" This (rule 246 ) applies to all parents, not just those who are divorced or legally separated.
Owing to claims that actually obtaining a Certificate from a District Judge is impossible, the Border and Immigration Agency (BIA) have taken advice from LAB & the Ministry of Justice who have confirmed that it is impossible to obtain a Certificate issued by a District Judge (at the time that this Rule was framed in the summer of 2000, this option was suggested as an acceptable means to verify the applicant's intent to maintain contact with the child.)
As this option is no longer available, and in the absence of any other legally based option to replace it, the sole alternative will be to request a sworn affidavit from the non-applicant parent, (i.e. the U.K. resident parent or carer of the child), confirming that the applicant parent can have access to the child, and describing in detail the arrangements made to allow for this. If contact is supervised, then the statement must be made by the supervisor"
