Lubz Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Hey everyone, I applied for visa 143 for mum back in Jan 2016. We received request for documents on 1st Nov 2019: form 80, police clearance, medical, AOS, etc AOS bank guarantee submitted: 12/02 AOS application approved: 19/02 We thought the hard part was over, but this morning we received an email requesting for police clearance for my dad, who is not migrating. Now, mum and dad are still married, but living separately - not divorced, so no legal documents to prove separation. I dont know if dad will comply with the request to provide police clearance. Not sure why we need a police clearance for dad, when he is not part of the application? Can someone please advise? in cases of separation, would my mum still need to provide police clearance for dad? thanks, L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitz Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Hi Lubz,i guess it will be better if you can ask your dad to provide pcc because if they are not separated he lb considered a non migrating member so they need to see everything is perfect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As they aren't divorced, the way they will look at it is that she is applying to come over as a single person but as soon as she lands she will put in a married partner visa application. This way they can assess if that would be a risk before granting her a visa in the first place. They have three options. 1) Divorce 2) Send on Dad's PCC 3) Don't send the police stuff and probably have the visa denied 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lubz Posted March 9, 2020 Author Share Posted March 9, 2020 Thank you. It's going to be a challenge to get the documents, but I'll have to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not the reason - a 143 holder is not permitted to sponsor someone for a partner visa for 5 years after their parent visa is granted, precisely to avoid people doing this. It was known as a "split visa application". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lubz Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 Thanks @paulhand I'm stumped as to what to do. I'm thinking of emailing the immigration officer to ask why they want the PCC for my dad if he's not part of the application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a visa requirement if he is still a member of your mother's family unit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely if you do he would do something you ask as it’s important to you. Immigration need this, it’s the rules. Why would your father not help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lubz Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 Thanks @Tulip1, I had a chat to him this morning. He's agreed to source police clearance documents. Hopefully, it will be the last of the hurdles we have to face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
