Kids dad

[Guest vsters]

hi,

I am currently in australia, been here for 2 years on 457 visa with my 2 kids. i have applied for my PR visa remaning relative. Immigration have asked me to supply them with stat decs from kids father etc in the uk whom I have had no contact with since being here for 2 years. he originally signed a stat dec for my 457 visa which i have supplied.

Problem is he is a chronich alcholic with no fixed address. he has signed some documents after about two months of tracing him but has no ID. his mother has wrote a letter and supplied her passport . its really hard being so far away and all my family are here to try sort something out !! I have had no real contact with him for 8 years and he did allow us to migrate . i am also going to supply my case officer with an article to state that as my children were born in scotland and I was never married that I have full parental responsibility . i have already supplied a stat dec from myself to declare I have not been with him and have no contact. Surely immigration cal look at this with sense since I have been here for over two years and I cant really do much to get him ID etc from the other side of the world. i have not even spoke to him since being here !!

 

thanks

Just want to wish you luck, your other option is to get a court order here.

Something else you could consider and I have known a few people do is to put a small advert in the notices section of the local paper where he last lived asking him to contact you. This shows that you have done everything in your power to contact him.

Big hugs I am sure it will all work out fine.
