Single Father Parent

echo · June 2017

Hi po sa lahat, Just wanna ask if I can apply for a child visa on my illegitimate son? He is now 7 years old and is living with my mom since birth, he got my last name before I migrated through R.A 9255. Hope someone has the same case with me. Thanks!

@echo Hi Sir, I am sharing my experience as a single mom with two illegitimate children and is named after the father. One of the requirements for the kids to be granted with visa is to have the non-migrating parent accomplish Form 1229 form https://www.border.gov.au/Forms/Documents/1229.pdf and attach a certified true copy of their passport/signature ID - in this case, the mother of your child. If you have this, then you don't have any problems bringing in the kid.

Now, the problem arise if you can't secure this. By PH law, illegitimate children are under sole parental authority of the the mother - until they turn 18. In our case, we were asked to provide an updated 1229 Form as the form we submitted was signed 3 years ago from the time we lodged the application. The father didn't provide one so I resulted getting a court order stating that I have full custody over the kids. They accepted this.

@aanover hello ma'am, i have same problem with my illegitimate son, kasi ung akin wala po talaga ung pangalan ng father sa birth cert ng anak ko, hinihingan po nila ako ng court order stating na ako ang sole parent ng bata. Long process po ba ang pag-kuha ng court order? hingi po sana ako ng guide at requirements anong kailangan para maka-kuha ng court order. Salamat in advance

@charishma10 hi... my son’s father information on bc is also blanked... stat dec lang need kasi wala naman dapat patunayan sa court. Just state na ikaw ang legal parent at ang may full custody sa anak mo.

charishma10 · January 2018

@Meeshaa hello tnx po sa reply, so meaning pupunta pa rin ako sa court? kasi hinihingan nila ako ng proof kahit wala nga ung pangalan ng tatay sa birth cert

Meeshaa · January 2018

charishma10 · January 2018

@Meeshaa maraming salamat, uupdate ako dito if anong say ng officer, sana ma-ok kasi sabi nila depende daw yan sa officer na maghahandle sa visa mo.

Form 1229 lang sir and copy ng passport ng other parent. As long as ma secure mo yung consent ng mother, wala ng problem.

JedoyQueso · December 2019

@aanover ganon din po ba gnwa nyo? wala po ba naging problema pag labas ng bata from pinas? Like pg secure ng clearance from DSWD etc?

Hindi po pala kami kasal ng mother ng bata.

maraming salamat sa sagot po.

aanover · December 2019

@ JedoyQueso hindi kami kasal ng tatay, di din nagbigay ng consent yung biological father para magmigrate yung kids. Dahil hindi kami kasal, nasalin ang sole parental authority ng bata. Ng affidavit lang ako dahil wala akong form 1229. Di ko din need ng DSWD clearance sir.

On your case, as long as pumirma ng form 1229 yung biological mother ng anak nyo, magrgrant sya ng visa. As for DSWD clearance, I think need nyo mag secure ng travel clearance kasi di kayo kasal ng nanay - yung first travel namin to AU iningian akp ng birth certificate ng mga anak ko and check illegitimate statis kasi wala kaming return ticket

Hi. May I know what exactly did you put in the affidavit? I also have an illegitimate child and I signed an Authority to Use Surname of Father kaya naka-apelyido sa father yung anak namin.

Just preparing for the lodging of visa for PR, hindi ko pa ina-approach yung biological father ng anak ko re signing of consent. Pero kung sakali lang na magresist na magsign ng Form 1229, ano po yung nakalagay sa sinubmit niyong affidavit?

Hi! Understanding your situation is important. Along with Form 1229, additional documents might be required as a father. Consider consulting legal advice for the best guidance. Take care.PM KISAN

Hello! It sounds like you're inquiring about applying for a child visa for your son, who is living with your mother. While I'm not familiar with your exact situation, it's possible to apply for a child visa for your son, even if he is illegitimate. The key factors typically include providing evidence of your relationship with your son, such as his birth certificate with your name on it and any other documentation that proves your parental relationship. Additionally, it's essential to meet all other requirements and criteria set by the immigration authorities. I'd recommend reaching out to a migration agent or seeking advice from the appropriate immigration authorities for personalized guidance based on your circumstances
