Non-Applying children question FLR(M)

[damienjbone]

Hi,

Super confusing question on the application: "Does {UK Husband} have any other children in the UK that are not applying on this application?"

When we selected Yes it was telling us that I (not the Childs mother) needs to send proof of my relationship with them, their passports and birth certificates ... since my UK husband has a difficult ex partner this would never happen. We answered no to this question because we felt like it was asking about children we had together and not children he has with someone else... did we answer right? If not, we are so confused about why its asking for crazy evidence that most people would not have when separated from children and ex partner.

You can not take the easy way out. Respond truthfully stating he does however due to difficult relationship with the ex partner there is no way to provide the requested evidence.

We already answered no to it... will it just be ok to provide a supporting letter explaining that we answered no because the next questions were asking us to provide information we simply do not have? Any advice here would be appreciated, if we made a mistake and need to cancel application?

Idea of what to write in supporting letter was in my previous response.

In my opinion the safest option is to cancel the application and start again. Answering No to the question and then trying to row back from that is damaging your credibility and is making it far more difficult.

As advised just state yes in the next application and supply what you can.
