immigrating with children to Scotland (from U.S)

I am having a terrible time finding information regarding immigrating with my children from the US to UK.
I have 2 children from a previous marriage, and have sole custody of both.
Would someone please suggest a site that deals with this topic specifically?
I have seen information regarding family and dependent visas, but they seem to revlove around BOTH natural parents taking the children to the UK.
Any advice would be much appreciated! Thank you

What sort of visa are you coming on?

Lots of folks have done it - on fiance visas, work permits, spouse visas, etc.

I know of at least one poster (*waves at closet.hippie*) who is a dual national and bringing her non-British national children over. 

Do they have passports already?  I know that when we applied for my sons and both parents can't be there I had to have a notorized letter stating that it was ok for my husband to apply for his passport then the agency ends up losing the letter, so my husband received his, I received (applied same day but different cities) mine but had to resend paperwork to Houston  .  

If you have sole custody and have permission to take your children out of the states you shouldn't have to much of a problem, I wouldn't think but others on here will know way more than me.

Hi there I immigrated to the uk with both of my children........I have sole custody as well......

what do you want to know........I brought them with me...no problem.......I did get a letter from my ex saying he was ok with me taking them but I later was told i didn't need it........I actually came over as a visitor and my husband asked me to marry him and once I got married had our passports stamped with leave to remain.......

You can't do this now.  You have to enter on a fiancee visa and then file for FLR after marriage.

Waving back at expat!!!  

Yep, we'll be headed over in November.  The biggies for me....I had to hammer out a relocation agreement/visitation schedule with my ex.  (All these years of biting my tongue have finally paid off - he's agreed!), and I will be getting a notarized statement from him saying that he supports my relocating the children to Scotland.  Even though I have sole physical custody of the kids, due to international child abduction fears they are still requiring my ex's permission for me to move the kids before they will issue a visa to them.  (And, as much of a PITA as it's been dealing with the ex, I'm glad they're not making too easy for one parent to just take off with the kids against the wishes of the other.)  Don't know if I'll be able to offer any advice on your specific situation, but feel free to PM me if you'd like!

Good luck!
