Hiafather wrote:hi u all
#this is my first time and i am very happy to find a website like this.
anyways heres my question i m a father of a beautiful 5year old girl she is in uk with her mother i am in Pakistan and would like to go to uk for the court proceedings to be a part of her life (contact order).
ive spoken to around 200 solicesters and waisted soo much money and they couldn't give me a good advice and some even said that i can never see my daughter again.can anyone please advice what kind of visa do i need to apply for and on what application form please and any other advice would be very helpful. i don't think that i can apply on the basis of access to a child resident in uk because don't have a contact order.and the mother is not willing to cooperate and she is against me seeing my daughter again please believe me i really need some good advice. don't have any criminal record and dint even overstayed or break any immigration rules....the mother is a British national and my daughter is and in the beginning of 2009 i did apply for a contact order but was unable to attend the proceedings because my father had an heart attack so i had to travel abroad so if there is any kind of visa even if they don't allow me to work i don't mind any help would be nice thanks

As I said above why not student visa?
This would be more easy.
Otherwise You can apply as
1.Family visitor and would complete form VAF1B.If refused you would get a right of appeal.You should write a good cover letter that your intention is to see you son.
This is looking difficult to me.May be approved in appeal.
2.General Visitor and you would complete form AVF1A.
Purpose of visit: Others : To start family proceedings and get contact order to regularly visit my son
This is looking good in your case.Write a good cover letter that due to your father health you were unable to get contact order and now for this you need six month visa.
I believe you should file for general visitor and should. gets appeal right.Not sure weather you would get right of appeal in general visitor or not.But logically yes you should get appeal rights.

How on earth could you advise someone who has no intentions of studying in the UK to apply for such visa. Are you aware that if the ECO found out about his true intentions, it could potentially jeopardise his ability to secure a UK visa? I find this advise highly irresponsible.immigrationuk2009 wrote:
Hi
Easy solution.Apply for a student visa and once in Uk start family proceedings and get contact order.
If you are in Pak then pm me your contact no. I would guide you properly and free of cost.

Are you genuinely an immigration Solicitor registered by OISC?
I am not criticising you as a person, i am criticising the poor and misleading advise you provided the OP.immigrationuk2009 wrote: Hi
If you have no idea about situation then keep your mouth shut.
Would you point me to any guidline which says a person whose family is in UK can not apply for study visa.
If you have little guts comes and prove here.
This gentlemen was already in UK for eight years on student visa.So what the point.
Thats way I said It would be more easy to get PSW based on Uk degree or any student visa for further studies.
I dont know there is any immigration rules which says you can not apply for further studies or any rules which says students can not apply for Contact Orders.
He would be unable to apply for access to child visa under rule 246 as he has no contact order.
General Visit visa is other option and I have already advised above.
A right thing with some guts to help.
Not just criticize like women.

That is a rather sweeping generalisation. I am afraid I find it rather offensive.immigrationuk2009 wrote:A right thing with some guts to help.

The OP doesn't intend to study in the UK, as he has concluded his course of study and left. He has no intention of embarking on another course.
You sole purpose for advising him to apply for a course is to circumvent immigration rules in order to come and see his daughter and use deception in the process, which could result in him being banned under paragraph 320(11) of the immigration rules.
Your conduct has proven to be very poor indeed.
We have advised the OP on the best procedure to use, which is to apply for a Family Visitor visa, and once the Access process is concluded apply through the Access right ruling, which will ultimately lead to settlement for the purpose of facilitating access to his UK child.
Your advise will be costly and frankly speaking illegal, as the OP doesn't seem to have any intention of embarking on a course or committing to one.
I hope i have explained the situation well to you.
Thank for your valuable advise.I am really impressed.I am not criticising you as a person, i am criticising the poor and misleading advise you provided the OP.
OP send me Pm saying he has completed BBA.But he has not ruled out that he would do MBA.The OP doesn't intend to study in the UK, as he has concluded his course of study and left. He has no intention of embarking on another course.
Are you in your mind.How this is deception.Completely nonsense.You sole purpose for advising him to apply for a course is to circumvent immigration rules in order to come and see his daughter and use deception in the process, which could result in him being banned under paragraph 320(11) of the immigration rules.

Tier 4 would mean the cost of that PLUS family proceedings. It would also mean studying and attending college otherwise the leave could be curtailed.
I hope the BBA you mention is a real one rather than a diploma mill. If so, Tier 2 could be an option if the OP can find an employer as a sponsor.
