Hi all... I am in a similar situation... Pls let me know what happened to ur application...
I am the primary applicant for SINP and my husband is divorced and has a 10yr old child from previous marriage. He is not in contact with ex wife or child since divorce and has not seen the child since age of 2. What all documents will be needed to exclude the child from this application? I read that some medical will be needed. Is that compulsory? What kind of medical is that and what if they refuse to cooperate with these, as they most probably will... He has a document stating ex wife has full custody of child..
Yes you need to provide medical of all non accompanying dependents.
You husband would need to submit proofs of divorce.
There might be some terms agreed in divorce about the custody of the child that may prove that he is unable to provide the same.
In my case, my divorce certificate had those points mentioned that i will no longer have any rights or custody over my child.
This along with a letter of explanation helped them understand my situation.
In reply they sent me a form stating that as per R117(9)(d) Humanitarian grounds I will never be able to sponsor my child for immigration in future.
You need not worry, this is a standard procedure. All you have to provide is evidence.
Note: You may also use emails or mail receipts to show that he tried to communicate with ex wife but there was no response. In some cases it was found that ex spouse replied stating that they will not cooperate and that was evidence enough.
