Greetings to everyone,
Congtrats to babycakes and indeed to everyone who have been issued their visas. To those still waiting, all the best as i believe the end of the wait is in sight
I need your help folks as am about to apply for FLR(O). I am a single mother of a 6yrs old British citizen boy. I applied for DRC under the Zambrano ruling in November 2011 but after 19months of waiting the HO refused my application and advised me to apply for the FLR(O). I am not currently in a relationship with my son's father, and we never lived together. My son has always lived with me and has had very limited physical contact with his father in the first 3 years but not of recent as he even moved from his last known address 3years ago and we do not know his current address as he refused to disclose it the last time he called me a year ago only stating he is in a new relationship and does not want any awkward encounter . He pays in some amounts of cash for the boy's upkeep but that is not regular either. Surprisingly my ex contacted me this morning over the phone to sympathize with me over losing my mother because he heard from mutual friends (friends who refused to disclose his new address to me).
Though i plan to appeal the Zambrano refusal, i'll like to know what documents i must submit with my FLR(O) application to show that my son lives with me and also do i need to prove financial support as i need to apply for the 10 year route as a parent? Thank you all in anticipation of your responses.
