Tulip1 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I would be very grateful if someone could help with an issue I have. I am shortly going to make an application for a contributory parent visa and intend adding my 16 year old son onto it. I have had a quick look at the application form which requires me to send a statutory declaration from my son's father giving permission for him to be added. My problem is he won't do one. I have seen on here that a 16 year old can get something from the court to say they wish to be included and that is enough. I understand the wait time on the visa is between 2 and 3 years so my son will be 18 before the visa is issued anyway so my question is can I apply without the declaration and maybe enclose a letter explaining about my son being over 18 some time before the application is processed or will that not suffice. If not, does anyone know what I need from what court saying my son wishes to be added and is this enough? How would I go about this?

wrussell Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 can I apply without the declaration Yes. There is no need for an explanation at the application stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulip1 Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 Thank you so much wrussell. I was just worried if I sent it without anything it may be seen as I'd 'ignored' the question and that would make my application incomplete and it wouldn't get lodged.
