Obviously the situation is very un-ideal (potentially a personal tragedy), and we don't really know precisely what anyone's motives or feelings are, or were. Nevertheless, I do think you're being a little harsh: the original poster is concerned enough about the situation to have posted his message, for example, and he obviously does want to try to make things work for his girlfriend and for their baby.SYH wrote: That's a different story.
And that's not what he is suggesting happened.
He just wanted to get his groove on without consequences.
Well here's a baby in the middle of his noncommital irresponsible never want to growup lifestyle or whatever it is.

Well, mine was only a polite posting. I'm sorry that I seem to have offended or upset you; that was not the intention.SYH wrote:That's what I read of his intentions so stop trying to get me to not say what probably most people are thinking and to get back to the immigration HO aspect of it. he can't have his cake and eat it too. HO stance is put up or shut up, meaning get married or bugger off.

I think you need to leave alone the intention stuff. Someone else brought it up with me and I provided my interpretatio it so I am not going to debate it with you.jimquk wrote:I must say I am unimpressed with people "reading" the OP's intentions. Does it really matter? He may or may not be a nice guy. I may or may not be, or any of us. OK, everyone is free to state their opinions, but if anyone is concerned for the welfare of the mother and child, let's just give them the best advice we can so that whatever choices they make are informed ones.
I think that without question the spouse route is the way to go. It is the only way that is really acceptable to the Home Office, and it only works if you are married. Of course, it is always possible that a marriage can break down, perhaps after only two years or so, but the lady by that time can have acquired ILR, so that the two parents at least have the possibility of living in the same country.
Of course, it is absolutely vital that the marriage is not entered into with the intention of being terminated once she gets ILR. That would be a fraudulent marriage of convenience. Given that there was evidence of a real relationship in the form of the child, I guess they wouldn't prosecute, but any leave to remain so acquired would be cancelled.
Good luck, keep us posted.
If you're unmarried then your partner is on an unmarried partner's visa, not a spouse visa.craig_m67 wrote:I am a dual National. Australian by birth, British by descent. My son (2nd child) was born this year in the UK and is a full British citizen (not descent like me) ie. has full passport(s) etc. My partner, his mother is Australian, and here on a spouse visa as is our daughter (no recourse to funds, this excludes NHS). We are unmarried.
Have the child here if you can.
Get her a spouse visa, you don't need to be married.
Yes, that's exactly what it is - an umarried partners visa - get one of these (if you can). Sorry if I confused anybody however, when we applied for the visa (British embassy in Australia) they called it a spouse visa.. we don't do unmarried / illegitimate status in Oz it's not PCsakura wrote:

For an unmarried partner's visa...you need to show 2 years of co-habitation as though you were living as husband and wife.
I just think its lame to have a relationship with someone that is not a one night stand in which a baby is involved and to not be willing to get married to keep the mother in the country,...

Yuk. If it were a one stand then you would understand ?
