My relations with wife are not good so plz can someone tell me how can i get visa as my son is british born ,I just want to see him and need visa for that

Answer 1

At a guess it was a marriage of convenience . It did not last long naturally . She must have thought you loved her to be prepared to marry you the Islamic way. You have been sussed out out for what many would say- it was your own fault.

If your relations with your wife is as you say "NO GOOD" . It would not be in any ones interest to allow you to come here to cause her more Pain . I  could not support your request. Stay in your own paradise or h**l.

Answer 2

You might want to ask Homeland Security.

HSA has a toll-free number and website.

Answer 3

You need to get in touch with a British lawyer. Not only will you need a visa, it sounds as though you may need a court order first for contact. There are all kinds of questions s/he will ask you, such as: were you legally married? Is your name on the child's birth certificate? Does the child's mum accept that you are the father, or is she likely to deny it?

You will need to get all the access issues sorted out before applying for a visa. It's pointless getting a visa and then the child's mother won't let you see the boy. A lawyer will be able to advise you on the best way to go about all this, including getting your visa if necessary (although you can do this yourself).

Most lawyers these days are contactable by email and most should give you initial advice free. You need to look for a specialist in family law. They are usually very friendly, although their charges are also quite high. You should reckon on at least £100 per hour, unless you can somehow get legal aid (which doesn't sound likely).

Otherwise, you could try to find cheap or free advice in your own country from a charity or a lawyer who knows the British system.

I've put in a link below to the Law Society which will help you find a lawyer specialising in family law. In the search box, you select "family".  I wish you lots of luck.
