Proving sole responsibility
posted by Anna Buran in United Kingdom forum
Thank you for this very important information! I am glad you reached success in your application and the links you provided are of a great help to clarify the requirements.
I am facing the same issue after my dependent children where refused to join me in UK (I am on Highly Skilled Programme visa) because I didn't realize that consent of father will not be enough. Now I want to prepare the required documents and reapply. Could you tell what was the age of the child and did the Embassy invite anyone for interview or it was enough to present sufficient documentation to be automatically granted entry clearance?
You also mentioned that the biological father lived out of country. Did you have any proof of this fact or the ECO relied on the information provided in the cover letter?
The reason of my concern is that sometimes it is hard to present documented proof of some facts that are in place and could be explained in cover letter. Would be very helpful to know how this was resolved in your case.
Thanks
