United KingdomParental Responsibilty & Notarised Letters
Hi Mags...

Maybe 18 months since last visit or contact, never paid or offered any kind of child support in all 11yrs. I am going to try and find him this weekend, I am pretty sure he still resides in the same village but just moved, so a few phone calls should do it. He never has had much interest in his son, I wasn't going to leave without him knowing or anything and he has always been knowing we are going at some point....it just irks me that I have to ask for some kind written permission from him y'know. wacko.gif

If the child was born before Dec 2003 or the father is not named on the certificate and the parents were not married he has no rights at all and his consent is not required, for UK purposes.


It doesn't matter what special branch say. wink.gif In the majority of cases the US Embassy will NOT issue your child with a visa if you do not provide a letter explaining that the father/mother gives consent or has been absent for X amount of years.

My son was born in 1994 and I was required to provide a notarised letter. Other information on this forum backs up that I was not a one off case.

The US embassy, even thought it is on UK soil, still operates under US law, which dictates that both parents have to give permission for a minor to leave the country.

My son's father didn't have parental responsibility and I STILL had to get a notarised letter from him.


Mags...out of interest who asked you for this and at what point of your application?


A couple of days after the interview in London. I was approved there, then they sent me a letter asking for the notarised letter. Other members here have been asked at the interview window.


Thank you for the explanation ... looking at the form it seems to me to only apply to children from marriage ... so I have either track down my childs absent father or explain his absence?

I was a little confused myself...you only need documentation for Glyn surely?

No, on the applicants statement, it says "Every applicant for an immigrant visa who has a child or children, is by regulation required to submit to the interviewing consular officer, the birth and/or baptismal certificate for each child. If your wife or husband has a child or children by a previous marriage who had not attained the age of eighteen years by the time of your marriage, or a child born out of wedlock, the birth and or baptismal certificate must also be obtained for the examination by the consular officer. This requirement applies even though one or more of the children of either spouse has no current intention to apply for in immigrant visa to the united states."

I assume it is just to identify possible future applicants for a visa? Or maybe it has something to do with making sure we don't take off with his boys??



Ah I see...you are further on in the process than myself....I havent come across that yet.
