Any reason why you cannot just cut a small bit of the child hair? Make a bit of effort and use your imagination. You won't succeed if you do not provide DNA evidence.

I just did a google search for approved DNA testers for UKVI, something I am assuming the OP could have done himself and this is the list:

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/paternity-t ... boratories

Reading the details on just one of the sites the samples need to be taken by an independent third party and cannot just be provided by the OP himself (for obvious reasons). Details can be found here as an example:

My lawyer did the grounds of appeal for me.my lawyer said i only need my parnter in court to tell the judge that am the parent of my child and that i play active role in my child upbringin.

OK. So you have to prove that the child is yours. How will you do that when you're not able to submit a DNA test, a birth certificate won't be sufficient evidence and the court won't accept your ex-partner's word that you are the biological father?

I don't see that you have any grounds for appeal, they told you what evidence you were required to submit and you failed to do so. CR001 or Casa please tell me if I am wrong but I can't see that an appeal would be successful based on the info provided so far.

In that case you need to re-apply for a visa again.

You will therefore be asked to provide the same thing again.

You therefore need to either get your ex to agree to a DNA test by an approved centre or you need to get her compelled to do so by the court.

I think I am back to.... you need to get legal advice on doing this?

If your lawyer has told you this why do you even need our advice?

I assume you will be paying him on a no win no fee basis?

And she is currently 5 months pregnant for me just.we are expectin our second baby.

@strontiumdog74 I concur with your view.

@Godwin111 Your partner's pregnancy will change nothing apart from the fact that you would need two DNA tests. Are you waiting for members on the forum to agree with your lawyer? I for one, am unable to do that as I don't believe for one moment that a court will simply take your ex-partner's word on the paternity.

I thought you said you broke up when your partner had your first baby?

[strontiumdog74]

I'm sorry but your story has more holes than swiss cheese and I'm starting to suspect you're just trolling.

You say you applied for parent visa when she was still pregnant, I have no experience but I find this hard to accept. Surely the forms will ask you for details of the child you're applying for, you know like name, place of birth and Date of Birth.

Assuming that I'm wrong and you can and did apply then, I assume your speed to apply was due to your student visa running out soon. . So how are you not overstaying?

You state that you financially support the child and see it regularly but then state she won't let you see the child. I assume you are independently wealthy as you are able to support a child, yourself and retain legal counsel whilst being on a student visa which restricts your working.

You state that you split with her when the baby was born, it's now 9 months but she's also 5 months pregnant with another child of yours.

How did you pass the English requirements to study in the UK when your use of the English language is so poor?

Whoopi Goldberg has no problem with DNA and she is of Sierra Leone heritage.

Why do you spell Sierra Leone differently every time?
even with atrocious language skills (for a student) you should be able to spell your near-neighbouring country.

And why can you not make up your mind where the mother actually is?

[strontiumdog74]

OK, as I hate not knowing things and like to get things squared away I searched for the FLR FP form:
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... _05-16.pdf

You clearly need to add a lot of information about the child, I don't see how you can possibly do that prior to the child being born.

It also seems that you need to provide a valid IELTS or proof that your course was taught in English, I won't comment any further on that issue for fear it's too aggressive but I think everyone knows what I mean.

On that note unless you can actually clear up the issues and tell a genuine story that doesn't have so many holes in it then I am giving up on this thread. On the plus I have learnt some things about FLR FP so not a total waste of time.

Patience! You've bumped your post after only 20 minutes! What exactly is your question?

Your lawyer knows more about your chance of succeeding with a court appearance than anyone on the forum.

Guys, pls Stop wasting valuable time on this guy. He's not straightforward, too much stories.
