You should complete appendix 1 if you wish to come to the UK as:
• The adult dependant relative of a person who is present and settled in the UK; or
• The adult dependant relative of a person with limited leave to enter or remain in the UK as a refugee or as the beneficiary of
humanitarian protection; or
• The child of settled parents or with one parent who has limited leave as a partner or parent granted under the Rules in force before 9
July 2012.

Where was you child born and when?

I forgot to say sorry. my two children are presently living in Thailand. so they will have to apply for a settlement visa outside the uk.

Ok so, do you have sole responsibility for the children what about the father? What kind of life are they leading in Thailand, who are they living with, education etc...? As you are British, there is no financial requirement but rather you must be able to adequately maintain and accommodate without recourse to public funds and may be required to sign an undertaking.

thanks for your swift reply.
yes im british so I must fill in appendix 1 not 2 ?.
its a long story about sole responsibility. I understand it must be proved for a substantial period.
my children were living with there father till last week when I received a phone call from him saying he doesn,t want the kids no more. and he is suffering from stress and drinking heavy. also a 40 yrs of age man is making advances to my daughter and my son is spending his spare time with druggies my ex husband has informed me.
so he said I have to get children away and live with me. he is signing sole custody to me at present. and I have the children in my holiday home in Thailand waiting to apply for visa for them so I can bring them to the uk with my uk family . uk husband disabled and I care for him. and my daughter to my uk husband.
do you think I should be ok. for a visa for my children.

The father is making moves on his own daughter? Well there is a clear risk to the children, this should be clearly documented in the application.

one parent or a relative is present and settled in the United Kingdom or being admitted on the same occasion for settlement and there are serious and compelling family or other considerations which make exclusion of the child undesirable and suitable arrangements have been made for the child's care

the father is not making moves on his daughter. he is to drunk everyday.
but neighbours have said that a 40 year old man in the same village is making advances on my daughter.
the father is no state or able to protect my children and he has informed me to come and get them which I have done.
if I cannot get my children a visa I will have to stay in Thailand till the embassy give me a visa for them.

Well go for serious and compelling along with sole responsibility, explain the serious risk of neglect due to the alcoholic father and the sexual advances of the other man. Explain that you can't stay there as you're a carer for your disabled husband so it's vital the children are allowed to settle. You'll likely be asked to sign an undertaking. Let us know how you get on.

I have just joined this forum and talking to you just this short time. has made me not worry to much.
I have a daughter also in the uk 7yrs that misses me and I miss her greatly
and this separation if a long period could have a effect on her and her schooling. do you think this will bear any weight in my application also. thank inadvance.

Include everything you can to show why it's necessary to bring your children here, explain you're at home all the time so the necessary care for the children is arranged.

I think I put my question wrong.
what I want to no do I have to uploud a picture with my application online. as the vfs is in Bangkok and I must produce my application there after I have filled in the vaf4a form online and got a appointment . then the children will have there pictures taken and finger prints same time as the appointment.
I just want to know do I have to uploud a picture before I go the the vfs .
