Hi there!
Im new to this forum although our application is already on-going. In fact me and my daughter just finished medical exams in Manila couple of days ago so were technically just waiting for the approval of which and hoping to move forward from then. Our application was received June 6, 2017.
I have one concern though with regards to the non-accompanying form for a minor dependent child. My daughter is not my husband's, biologically speaking. My ex (which I never married) and I are not in good terms, and my daughter carries his last name. Ex doesnt want to sign the form, so when my husband and I submitted the form I wrote a letter to CIC narrating what I have gone thru with my ex and how I decided to cut all ties of my daughter from him together with a notarized affidavit saying that under Philippine Law the mother exercise absolute parental authority over an illegitimate child.
Long story short, we have come to this point of the application, does that mean that CIC has honored my letter and the affidavit? Last check with an immigration specialist, they told us that CIC always wants either the form or a custody order, and I currently doesn't have either one.
Hope somebody from this forum could share his knowledge or experience.
TIA!
