Letter of consent example

[yuyul 2]

Hii!!

 

It seems the legal cost to get full custody is way too expensive here and I recalled a few of you saying that we may need to get a permission letter from the ex partner to allow children to migrate.

 

I wonder if the below is sufficient for NVC?

It is the Consulate that will need the letter or custody order.

 

That is way too much. He doesn't need to give up his parental rights. Plus that is only something that can be done in a court. 

 

All you need is a letter of consent to move the child to the US. 

 

Father's name consents to child's name to move permanently to the USA. 

 

Just be aware that even if he consents to the move, he will still have rights to his child. You will not be able to change this except in the child's home country.

Thank you for the response.

 

Actually the father wanted to include that in the letter and wnted to waive off child mantainance between us.
