Skilled Worker Dependant Child visa - Single Mother

[raja_jani]

Asking on behalf of a friend

My friend (single mother) applied for her skilled worker visa and also for her 2 kids as dependants (both kids are less than 12 years of age). Mother has been granted the visa. All of them are of Pakistani origin residing in UAE.
Along with kids application documents submitted were: Divorce Registration Certificate issued by NADRA Pakistan, Guardianship Certificate for mother from Pakistani Court, Court Letter granting permission to take kids for abroad travel, Consent letter from the children's father allowing mother to take kids abroad, Children's Birth Certificates.
But for both kids firstly she received an email from UKVI asking - Please provide any further evidence, information or documents you would like to be considered in line with points (a), (b) or (c) of paragraph SW 32A.1 with reference to CHI3.1 to CHI3.2 of Appendix Children. (Email content is copied at the bottom).
After this email mother submitted above mentioned documents again along with these 2 extra docs: Children's UAE sports centre membership and Letter from a teacher in UAE from whom kids were having part-time classes (as they had not been enrolled into any school in UAE as they relocated to UAE 5 months ago.

After submitting all of these documents, mother received same email (exactly same contents - email copied below) from UKVI.

Now mother is not sure which other document UKVI is expecting / what additional information can she provide?

Any advice will be highly appreciated.


Below is the email which is sent by UKVI 2 times.

When you have sole Legal custody then you do not need to send Father Consent letter.
Anyway you have to prove Sole Responsibility of Kids. Ask School, Doctor and Religious leader to give you letter that you are dealing their Education, Medical and religious matter’s as a single parent and father is not involved. If you have photos with them in different events and trip photos. Provide them.
Now you have to pass the sole responsibility test by showing evidences.
