Visa denied

Hi i was on here under the screen name mistboundforuk before and had applied from usa for 2 visas, one for myself and my daughter. Just wanted to let everyone know that my daughters visa was denied because they are requiring that you have court documents saying the parent traveling has sole custody and the documents must be sent within 4 days of them contacting you about it. There was no way I could get a court document that fast. It cannot be a notarized letter anymore saying the other parent gives permission.....and the UKBA had phoned me up to talk to me regarding this. Just letting any other parents out there planning on taking children know whats going on before you waste your money.

Hmmm I am Canadian and applying for ancestry visas for myself and my children and have a notarized letter allowing me to take them out of the country and I also have my legal custody papers that state reasonable access at my discretion...do you think that will be solid enough? I would hate to lose 270 pounds x 3 for failing the application...

Maybe you could call around to lawyers and find one that would let you give a deposit and then pay it off later in installments? Or legal aid even? I think my custody papers cost around $700. Good luck with whatever you do and I feel for you.

Also I would add as much new information as possible to an appeal and make it very clear that 4 days simply was not enough time to procure documents and perhaps even without new sole custody papers but further details, letters, info, would be enough to help the appeal win?
