Emigrating with children
Hello all!
Newbie here. I've been lurking for a bit and as you seem full of useful info, I thought I'd try this one out on you.
My OH and I would love to immigrate to NZ (currently in process of NZQA assessments - so just started really). My question is, is a solicitor's letter stating my rights to remove my children from the UK (according to UK law) proof enough for an immigration officer?
The children are 10 and 11 and no longer have contact with their natural father. I wasn't married to him nor does he have Parental Responsibility. There were no court orders regarding visits or residency so it's very difficult for me to provide legal documents for NZIS when they don't exist!
The only other thing I have is a Step Parent Parental Responsibility agreement, signed by myself and hubby (also signed by courts) - just to show there is no one else with PR.
Has anyone ever gone through anything similar?
Any help would be much appreciated!
