Hi,

I'm a single mother, a have a son back home whom I really wanted to bring here by my sponsorship, is it possible? i am not married, also his father's name is not written in his birth certificate. Is there any complications about my case? Hope u could help me out coz i'm so eager to bring my son and be with me here in Dubai. Thanks.

I don't think it's possible on your sponsorship, but it might be possible if someone else sponsors him (e.g. an employer)

I have known mothers to sponsor children, however, one of them is a widow and the other one was separated from her husband, who actually gave his permission and handed custody of the child over to the mother in the Dubai courts. I think your problem may lie in not being able to 'produce' permission from the father even though he isn't in the picture. I would ask your HR department to see if your PRO can find out.

You are not alone. There are many single parents ....... I read somewhere that there is also a support group: dubai.single.parents@gmail.com and there is also a Facebook group called "Single Parents Dubai"...

I am sure you would be able to get clearer info there .. all the best
