Thai Wifes Son Sv To Uk

[connor]

Hi

As some will know i am having a few issues providing docs of custody to show my wife has always had sole custody of her son.

The Amphurs & Embassy are being very unhelpfull & unclear.

My wife is in the UK with me & her son trying for SV to join us. I am now thinking if its a good idea to get the father to go to the Amphur & state my wife has always had sole responsibility for her son & he has never been there?

The father is willling to help & its all a matter of fact. However will the embassy see it that way?

I don't actually think you need a, 'Sole Custody', paper.

You just need to prove that your partner has been the principal supporter of her son.

If she can prove this unequivocally, then it should be enough.

So on that basis, if the biological father goes to the Amphur and approves the Sole Custody paper, I can't see how it cannot be seen as proof of evidence.

I would search, 'Sole Custody', on this forum as I am sure I have read on here, that a ,' Sole Custody', paper is not an absolute requirement.

Good Luck

I did it in May you do need sole custody and also a letter from the father does help,your wife must also sign papers and return to Thailand to do so with her previous husband.

PM IF YOU WANT FURTHER INFO.

Connor,

If you do a search you will find many threads and posts in regard to what is necessary, including several from myself stating that you will need a, 'Sole Custody Paper', but I cannot fing the exact statement from the Immigration Rules stating it is not an exact requirement.

There are several statements from Scouse saying that you need to demonstrate sole custody/responsibility.

If you search long enough you will find that passage.

Good Luck

Azzey, I was posting as you were posting, my post above is not in anyway a reaction to your post.

I also did this last year and got a Sole Custody Paper, but it is now my view by reading this forum that it is not an absolute requirement.

But if the Bio father is willing to agree, it will be easier, I suppose as long as it has not been coerced, as such.

Yes no worries mate did it in May we supplies the following and i sponsored the wifes daughter:

Proof of support we used to send 3500 baht a month.

Telephone/bank statements/letter from employer/all the usual stuff.

The main thing we found we named her always on visa applications and we proved we have sent money and contacted her etc.But my wife did return to sign docs at the Ampur no way out of it we tried every trick in the book but she had to go to the Ampur with her mum and witness to confirm she had always taken care.Her x husband came as well but he did not try it on money wise i already told him im doing you the favour he agreed luckily and wanted the best for his daughter.

Cheers Guys

The problem i have is the Vac centre will not take the docs!

I have already included docs from Thai Embassy here in the UK but not enough, along with bank statements showing funds sent & phone calls made etc.

I am either going to leave it & do custody papers ourselves in January or try for the father to do a statement at an Amphur. Problem again is her son is alone. I have work for him here so on & so on. I feel very frustrated & i know he does to. Theres a lot of tears going on phone calls between him & his mother & i just wish i could do more?
