Do you have permission from the children's other parent to remove them permanently from the UK?

Applying to adjust status from visitor status, especially a visa-waiver visitor, without having a consultation with an immigration attorney is a fool's errand. I agree with Rene - go see one now.

I can assure you that you are in a situation that probably requires professional help from an attorney, Jeffrey was not being sarcastic.

Thankyou for you response Rene
So, to help other people who might have the same situation as you, can you tell us what was wrong with the forms and why they were returned to you?

Thanks

Seconded.

From my admittedly limited knowledge of the various immigration pathways, this one seems to rank highly on the complexity/unlikelihood-to-succeed scale, particularly if handled personally.

JEff's warning, if you would actually read what was written and not take it personally, is vitally important to you.

If the adjustment fails for any reason whatsoever - including paperwork returned for whatever reason - there is no appeal process whatsoever. The children would be immediately removable from the US and it won't matter one iota whether or not your adjustment was successful, or whether they're minors, or whether you're married to a US citizen. You, and they, signed away all rights when you entered the US on the VWP. Adjusting from the VWP has serious risks that should not be underestimated... because when things go wrong, they go horribly wrong - and there's no way to recover.

I fully understand your frustration with the paperwork and your anxiety for a successful adjustment... but it's never a good idea to dismiss, as sarcastic, a comment that might just save your hide!

That all said, you specifically wrote, "Any comments/help would be accepted/appreciated" and you don't get to decide who responds to you... or in what matter. Just sayin'... don't shoot the messenger.

Ian

Nothing sarcastic about it, I made a simple statement of opinion.

Thankyou once again Rene for all your help and comments..........I think maybe I should just look up advise posted by you here and other sites........ Posting sarcasm from others and me responding to them is obviously not the way I want to proceed...

Once again Thankyou Rene

You're very welcome...but can you share what the problem was, and how you resolved it? It would be helpful to others.

You seem to be missing the rather dire warnings offered to you by people who have seen very bad things happen...

You should have a consultation with an Immigration Attorney.

If you are denied you will be deported and you will not be able to appeal.

If your children are denied THEY will be deported and you will not be able to appeal.


Before continuing to proceed, before dismissing other people's comments whether you consider them to be sarcastic or whatever, you should consult with an attorney.

"I got it sorted out.....AND the short answer to my childrens 'other' parent is YES........ I do know that this is required for me to proceed"

In my opinion, the bolded section shows premeditation; that may become very problematic further on in your process.

In scottish law whilst both parents remain alive whether or NOT involved in childs life, the parent the children live with HAS to have permission from other parent to take children on holiday if outwith the country!!!!!! We came here on holiday........He gave up ALL access to children....He Has NOTHING to do with them.

I contacted my lawyer to ask where I stood with regards to this as I DO have EVERYTHING to do with my children.......I hope that clarifies things for you!!!
