Hi everyone.
Thought I was finished here, but my wife has been checking the permanent residency and application documents returned to her by CIC, and we have a potential snag. We asked for the embassy in Kiev to return our original personal documents. However, the embassy (CIC) hasn't returned the original document where the biological father of my 16 year-old step-daughter gives his daughter permission for her to travel and emigrate.
My wife is stressing out, because their flights to come to me are in two weeks! She does have a notarized photocopy of the original document, but she is fearful that this won't be enough to allow her to pass through security/border services in Kiev and Amsterdam. She has a friend who married a German man and her friend advises my wife that only an original document, signed by the biological father will work.
Is my wife's friend correct? I can't imagine why a notarized copy (translated also) won't be sufficient. What should we do? Trying to make a direct call to CIC is nearly impossible, and they aren't exactly prompt at responding to emails either. Why wouldn't CIC return this very important original document to her, seeing as how she requires it to navigate through airport security? Chasing down a hard-to-find biological father, whom my step-daughter has never met, and who resides in another area of Ukraine, and then having him fill out another permission form and getting it translated and notarized in two weeks is more than a difficult task.
In advance, thanks for your help.
