FLR FP as a parent

Post by njazzy » Sat Aug 19, 2017 9:45 am

Good day honourable members. i Need help and I hope this board will be useful for me. I am a non eea citizen and came to uk on 2010 on a tourist visa and i have overstayed since my visa expired. well i was in a relationship with an ee member for almost a year and half. we have a 1 year baby together who is a british. i lived together with my partner for a year and half together with the baby. my partner has a permanent residence to live in the uk. well things are not working between us and i have separated from my partner, i regularly visit her to look after the baby and she brings the baby to me look after for her to work on weekends.
i want to apply for leave to remain as a parent. do i stand a chance of success? if yes what documents do i need to prove. my name is on the childs birth certificate and i have a dna tets from an approved home office centre to prove i am the father. do i have to proof i was living together with my partner before i separated from her? please anyone with similar situation can share his views and ideas. many thanks.
Jazzy.

What nationality is the mother of your child?

It is possible to apply under the parent route if you are not in a relationship with the mother.

You need to demonstrate you are not in a relationship with the mother. You are playing a role in the life of the child and you intend to continue doing so. You need to show that there is either a court order or informal agreement between you and the other parent, enabling you to have contact with the child. You need to also show the other parent is a British or Settled person, and that child live with other parent.

I cannot advise on your individual case. I can only set out the requirements of the law. I believe that those representing you, will be better placed, based on your circumstances to assist on what you need.

In-person applications aren't advised for complex applications, which as an overstayer yours falls under. The junior level Case Workers at the PSC simply don't have the authority to make a decision on an application which requires further clarification and checks.

FLR(FP) applications generally take many months for a decision to be made.

Thank you casa. Please how many correspondence do I need as a proof of address for myself. I have TV license in my name, sky tv bill in my name and a GP registration letter in my name. Will these three be enough as proof of address for myself. They are both dated three different months. Thanks for your help.

My child's mum wanted a letter from the health visitor stating that she lives with the child and that I am the emergency contact of the child as a letter of consent to support my application. But the health visitor said it's against their rules to give letters to the home office. What can we do about this please. Any help.

Is it normal for the health visitor to refuse to give my childs mum a letter of consent please?
