Could anyone please help with any knowledge on the above subject title. 

 

What are financals and documents required for extending a Non-O visa based on being the carer of a family member that's registered disabled?

 

54 year old UK male.

Full-time carer of his son, who's registered disabled.

Named as father on the birth certificate.

Son has father's surname.

Doesn't have a Kor Ror 11

Mother is long gone, living abroad and uncontactable.

 

If anyone has extended their visa under these circumstances, please share your experience with immigration.

 

Many thanks, Boycie.

 

 

It depends on the son's age. How old is he?

Is it the financial requirements that rules out non O based on retirement and subsequent extensions.

Simple alternative

How old is the son?

First question, were you married to the mother? If not, have you been to family court for sole custody?

 

If the answer to the above is "no", then you are not "legally" the child's father.

 

(strange as that might seem)

No, not married to the mother.

 

Family court for sole custody, no because lawyer has advised to wait until son is 7 years old.

 Some amphurs will allow the child to attest when they are younger than 7, might be worth popping along with your son and see what they say.

That's a good suggestion.

 

@Boycie  Yours is a special situation because the boy's mother cannot be traced and hopefully the immigration official you're dealing with will make an exception for you. He may have to get a superior official's approval for it.
