I have never been disappointed with the advice and support that members are willing to offer.

I would be tempted to ask for money back as your consultant has clearly given you misleading or incorrect information that could have had a massive impact on you and your son's futures.

Best wishes and good luck with the rest of your application!

I started to panic when I read that I would not be able to sponsor my son if he was not added to my current application.
I'm actually really cross because my consultant who has been paid a considerable amount of money to take care of everything failed to notice this!!

Had I gone ahead with the application as it was I would not have been able to sponsor my son in the future!!

But now all I do is put him on my application as a non accompanying and have his medical checks done, So then at least in the future the option for sponsorship is available.

Will be on the case first thing Monday morning!!

Thanks everybody for the very helpful information, without it My son and I may well have been screwed!!
