Horror at sons "special" christmas present?

It's extremely unlikely not to be if the British, British born father applies for it.

But she isn't kidnapping it, she would be forced to leave due to immigration laws, she doesn't have a choice and they can't separate a newborn from it's mother. And what sort of relationship would they have if he tried to accuse her of that! At the end of the day the law makers don't care for tricks, sentiment or ploys! They will care about getting her to leave when her visa expires, they won't be worried about the son having access to his kid because the son created this situation when he shouldn't have done. He can choose to try and have an expensive custody battle but there's no guarantee he'll win. What in your mind gives the mother no right to take her half Korean child to Korea? What extra rights would the father have? He has none because the kid is entitled to live in both countries!

You can say it was in different circumstances and I’m sure it was, but if you don’t want to be a grandparent at 38 then having a child at 18 is the wrong way to go. Having had a child that young you must have known this was a possibility.

It might surprise some people on this thread - but the baby won't automatically be granted citizenship in this situation just because it's born here

I wonder how her parents will be reacting, probably cut her off financially for bringing cultural ‘shame’ to the family

Section 8 of the human rights act gives her a right to a family life if it is deemed unreasonable hardship for the baby to be separated from its mother. The baby is British and legally can't be taken out of Britain by its mother without the father's permission.

If they can live together for long enough (at the mothers, even more "family", hence the request? ) they establish a family life to which both the mother and the child are then entitled.

And by the time this has been through every legal challenge (on legal aid!?) and ended up at the HMRC, so much time will have passed that it will be unfair to either split the family or deport the mother.

How is he going to do that? And how do you know the child is going to be a boy

Not if the father prevents her from kidnapping his British son she won't.

Families get separated all the time by immigration laws, mum will be breast feeding in Korea.

This.

No it doesn't. As I have a said this girl is on a student visa and will be expected to return home after her degree ends

Because she's on a student visa and the conditions are strict for overseas students. Therefore not random

Breast feeding not beast feeding 🤣

They can't deport the child, a beast feeding baby changes everything.

Plenty of couples have failed to achieve that, it's nowhere near that easy, a baby's citizenship doesn't give her rights or citizenship, she's an unmarried student who has only been in a relationship with the father a short time. Since brexit we've been deporting even elderly Europeans who've been here and paying tax for decades so the authorities aren't going to welcome her with open arms.

Should make a rule when they’re younger, no children allowed till you’re 30! Honestly, absolute madness to have kids in your 20s, particularly early 20s these days. That’s a time to be free, have fun, travel and make a career, not being tied down with kids!

Pregnancy doesn't but a child does, if she can get it born before she needs to leave the country. Because of the childs father there is an almost automatic right to British citizenship.

Then the child has citizenship and she can claim rights to a family life under human rights legislation.

HE GAVE A PISSY STICK

There's no legal right for the girlfriend to stay here so it's not that simple as letting her move in, border force officials will still be on the doorstep to send her back to Korea.

Right! I have travelled to 62 countries so don't you dare tell lies or accuse me of being racist! I literally googled it last night! I was literally reading posts on Reddit from people that have lived and worked there! You are free to look this up yourself and come back and apologise to me!
Also get yourself on the websites that tell you what requirements a UK citizen needs to work in Korea! There are monthly income requirements and he would need job sponsorship! These websites like gov.uk don't lie do they!
This guy is student! He's not a businessman or someone that's had a career and lots of skills and experience! You do understand that no countries hand out visas like sweets? I look into these things because I'd like to retire to Eastern Europe. He's a student! He won't be able to use his degree with zero practical experience and zero command of the Korean language and alphabet! You don't honestly think everybody will speak English around him do you? If you are a person been sent to work for a British or American owned company overseas etc then it's a different kettle of fish but he can't get by using a translator if he had to get work with a Korean company! I speak a fair amount German, useful when I'm travelling there but theres a thousand miles of difference between being able to speak and read enough of a language for travelling Vs what you need to work in business and deal with people that speak it fluently as their native language.
Everything I've seen online is at odds with the bile you've aimed at me! I have never been racist or agreed with racism ever and would remind you that slander is illegal!
The son needs to do his research because what you are stating is not backed up by the internet from what I've seen so far. You hardly seem calm and logical when you are using the race card for no reason. People like you are funny though, you think you're big and clever because you've been overseas and you challenge the wrong person! No I've not been to Korea yet but apparently neither have you and I've got country 64 coming up in a few weeks! Isn't it funny how much I like I travelling and meeting people around the world for an apparent racist!

This must be hard, we not long ago found out that our 21 year old is pregnant and is not with the dad but speaks to him, we have never met him. She wanted to keep the baby so supporting her. Each to their own but sound to me if you want to not travel to Korea to see your grandchild you need to help them get on their feet.

Tell me you don't know sod all about immigration laws without telling me you know sod all about immigration laws! What country do you think you can just walk into and claim as yours? You can't! You have to meet certain stiff requirements! The immigration officials are the ones that say that and nothing about that is random so your response is just weird!

There was story in the media the other month of a British woman who had an online relationship with a bloke in Canada, she went out there to finally spend time with him, got pregnant to him very quickly and the authorities are not letting her overstay her tourist visa regardless of being pregnant. Pregnancies don't get you what you want when it comes to other countries I'm afraid, your career, skills and decent income may put you in a position to apply to live somewhere but your response is silly beyond belief!

Then he may have to deal with his child being raised in a different country to where he lives.

Are you a confused far right moron who thinks all foreigners are asylum seekers? Stretch your bloody brain! She isn't an asylum seeker, she is here on a study programme! She is here legally from a country that does not have asylum seekers. If you go to Spain to slob around on a sunbed, do you become an asylum seeker entitied to somewhere to live permanently over there? No you don't because you are tourist there legally for a maximum agreed period! She has the same sort of arrangement, she's here legally for a set period. Illegal immigrants aren't given houses anyway, they never were but the propaganda you read has rotted your brain and you think a foreigner overseas is automatically an asylum seeker entitied to score house? Your brain ls that rotted that you don't think people legally travel anywhere anymore!

Nonsense! He can live in Korea if he wants to. I live abroad (in a country near Korea where lots of people emigrate either before moving to Korea, or after having lived and worked in Korea). Living and working abroad is surprisingly easy and no, you dont need to speak Korean to get a work visa.

Have you ever been to Korea? Your post reads as though you havent because Korea is a lovely country and the people are extremely friendly and welcoming. Lots of people can speak English, translators exist on all mobile phones, and of course, the boy is perfectly capable of studying Korean should he move.

Your post reads as the post of someone who has mever lived or worked abroad and maybe not even travelled to the country in question and while that is fine, it is inappropriate for you to be giving advice on the topic. Especially such negative and incorrect and verging-on-racist advice!
