Hello all, I posted previously on the forum about our situation: me (with dual citizenship- British and Romanian) and my Romanian partner (we are not married, but we have been living together for some time) are expecting a child and at the time of my previous post were not decided whether to have th...

I have one question perhaps you can help me- apologies if the question was asked previously. We are currently considering having a baby. My fiancee and myself have been living together in the UK for almost 2 years, we plan to get married at the end of next year. I have British citizenship- have been...
