Guest Nat Rennie Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Hi Having just come back from an initial consultation with the emigration group to start the Visa process, we were most shocked to be told that my husbands daughter from his first marriage will also need a full medical. Only in the last 3 weeks have they finally exchanged emails after no contact for 6 years. She is 12 and the divorce and contact has been very difficult. The agent reassured us that as long as we can prove we have tried to get her to have a medical then we should be okay, but can anyone advise if they've been in a similar situation? Not sure I'd be too keen for my kids to undergo a Xray, blood tests etc for no medical purpose, so I'm pretty sure she won't agree. What kind of proof is needed to show we've tried? :unsure: Thanks Nat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumpkin Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Loads of people will have been in this situation. I guess you have to request and document that you have done so and then you will probably need to make a statutory declaration that mother willnot allow it. I don't think children have blood tests, it is a less thorough medical for children. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest milliebooboo Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Hi... weve just been through exactly this. The best way is to see a solicitor and ask her to write a letter to the mother explaining the child needs a medical. If the mother signs the form to say she refuses to let the child have a medical then thats ok. Its a legal document so immigration are happy with that. Hope this helps, dont worry, its a resolvable situation. Millie x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mcginlm72 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I applied for residency (de-facto/spouse visa) in 2007 I initally thought I would need to get a medical for my then 14 year old daughter who was living back in the UK with her father. When I explained to our immigration case worker that she was not going to be on our visa they told me she would not need to take a medical and that was that she never did. I gave them her father's details so they could contact him to confirm this they never did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
