Hi, I couldn't find any info regarding the topic so I thought I would try asking here. I appreciate any help and advice.
I am a Singaporean citizen, married to my Australian husband. I have Australian PR and we live in Australia. We are thinking of moving to Singapore.
As my spouse, I understand the procedures of my husband obtaining a Singaporean PR.
However, my husband has a son (my step son) who I have looked after since he was 3. He has no relationship with and we have no contact whatsoever with his biological mother. He is now 10 years old.
All we have is a document from the Australian authorities stating that my husband is the sole parent of the child. We also had his passport successfully made when he was 4 (the Australia government had to track down the biological mother in another state to ask for permission but she never responded to the document and never attended the court session wherever she was to object) so the passport was granted.
How do we go about applying for PR for our son? Will we have any problems since we have no contact and can't obtain permission from the biological mother? Does it help that my husband and I are married?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
