QUESTION

I’m a Korean married to a resident here, so eventually will have a dependant visa.

The question is, what is the process for getting a dependant visa for my 16-year old daughter from a previous marriage? 

We went to the Immigration Department and they asked for a “custody certificate?”

Where should and how should I get it? Please advise. Thank you very much.
