Re: visit visa query - self employed invitee

thanks for responses, so you are saying there is no need to show my business bank details?

They have been to the UK before, about 3 years ago but at the time I was in full time employment so got letters from my company etc. Obviously can't do that as I run a ltd company now.

Re: PLEASE HELP :/ Refused Parent of a UK Child Visa

Did you get more evidence of how you will be involved in your child's day to day upbringing, in the previous rejection they have mentioned lack of clarity on that as one of the reasons. Make sure you include something that shows definitive plans of you upbringing your child along with the mother.

 When you apply for your first British passport, you need to send your current passport to them which they will return to you later. I am not sure how you are saying you can travel as you will have no passports
I assumed OP has not submitted documents yet..if this is incorrect then apologies.
