You need EITHER a foreign degree with UK NARIC certificate OR an A1 English test.

You DO NOT need both.

Why are you not apply for the child at the same time?

Is it your child??

You cannot expect accurate advice if you don't provide all the relevant and important facts.

Yes he is my son from my previous marriage. I cannot apply for him untill he is more than 5 yrs of age. As per indian law mother is the sole guardian of the child untill 5 yrs. My son is 2 yrs old now. And i have no legal rights to take him along with me as of now. And i am fighting for visitation rights currently. Later i have to apply for custody. Hope i answered your question.

Besides do i need to submit travel tickets ? while submitting the application ? And what the are the originals i should be sending to Sheffield ? I am not still clear whether VFS would just scan the documents or will ask me to send the original and supporting docs to HO ? ... Please clarify

Then you need to complete the form as required if you have a child that is from a previous marriage. To bring a child, you will also have a lot to prove. See immigration-for-family-members/sole-res ... 13087.html

HO clearly states not to make ticket bookings until you have the visa. Please follow the instructions you are given in the online process.

C001 my ex wife deserted me while my son was 2 months old. She fled to her home town and filed a false case against me. And the court from her state had issued an order for maintainability to child and compensation to mother through ex-parte order. I have counter filed against the order to set aside. The case is still going on in her state. Meanwhile i did file for Restitution of conjugal rights well before she filed a case on me . The court in my state had said the marriage is null and void . I am using the court order and sentence from my state court to dispute the order from her state court. I am waiting for the visitation rights as of now. And I will soon file for a custody of my son as she has Cluster B Border line personality disorder reported by a psychologist.

"Then you need to complete the form as required if you have a child that is from a previous marriage. To bring a child, you will also have a lot to prove. See immigration-for-family-members/sole-res ... 13087.html"

If the form asks if you have a child from a previous marriage who you support, you need to declare it. Not doing so will create problems when/if you apply for the child as HO will question why this was not declared for this visa application.

Of course I am declaring in the visa form that i have a child . Infact the sponsorship letter of my wife has the following statement ....Which is the clearance officers are kept well informed.


" We have been advised by my husbands lawyer that Indian courts favour the mother as a natural guardian while the child is young and until age of 5 yrs, and as of this date no conclusion has been reached to lay out his visitation rights for his son. Our intention will be on our holiday’s back to India to visit his family we will visit his son in his home town. He is not requesting any form of custody over his son. No court agreement has been reached over alimony/Child Maintenance yet by the lawyers or judge, however we are advised that the equivalent of £100 per months in rupees is standard payment."

Additionally iam attaching the indian supreme court order on child guardianship and custody when they are toddlers and young....

The point of me posting the link to 'Sole Responsibility' was for WHEN you get to the point of applying for his visa. HO are very strict about this regarding children. The Indian rules is irrelevant.
