what about the making of decisions, schools, etc? The father's being prepared to sign a document might well indicate that he has some responsibility. It's a hard test to meet.Enquirer77 wrote:Amanda, paragraph (b) applies, as my wife has sole responsibility for housing and caring for her son.
I asked around, looks like I was a bit wrong! This is what I was told u need:Enquirer77 wrote:My wife's son has lived in her custody in the Ukraine since her divorce. That was the decision made at the time of her divorce and was agreed upon by the father. He pays a nominal amount of maintenance each month and rarely visits the son, maybe once every 2 months, so has not been involved in bringing up the child for the last 5 years.
The reason the son couldn't come to England at the same time my wife arrived was because the father (at that time) didn't give permission for the son to have a passport, therefore preventing him from leaving the country. He has changed his mind in the last week and has visited the son and my wife's mother to state that the son can now live in England with his mother. He now needs to go to the passport office (where the son's passport has been waiting for the last 6 months) and give permission for it to be relaeased. He then needs to give permission in writing (signed by a Notary) and this will be taken to the British Embassy ECO when my wife applies for her son's visa.
