My sister is a PR and is now applying to sponsor our mother.
We do not wish to sponsor our father because we had a (dismissed) criminal case and an existing protection/restraining order against him for violence against me, my other sister and my mother. He was jailed for a few nights and a criminal case was filed during that time (2019) but unfortunately the case was dismissed by the legal system here. Nevertheless, a court has agreed to issue a temporary protection order still in effect until today, and we are waiting for the permanent version hopefully to be issued by the same court/judge. He has been living on his own since the incident in 2019.
They are still married and there were no legal steps taken as of now, to nullify or annul their marriage in any way. We have no proof that our father is no longer staying in our residence.
1. Will including all this information (particularly his history of being jailed) affect our mother's petition negatively?
2. We will not be able to provide his address and passport copy because we are no longer in contact with him.
3. Does the explanation letter to be written by our mother regarding this matter need to be notarized?
Any other things that we should do, write or explain?
Basically we only want to sponsor 1 parent because the other is an abusive, violent figure who we no longer wish to have any contact and relation with.
Thank you very much!
