She has many options,wooly wrote:Thank you .
This now poses a long term problem..
How can the two of us remain together without having to wait six months at a time.
She had a great grandparent who was a UK citizen and I was thinking of asking her to apply for an 'ancestry visa' but someone told me that is not possible. Only 'Grand parents' are allowed for this visa. Is this correct?
If she comes for a visit and then goes back to Canada. Does she then have to apply for a 'marriage visa' to come back to the U.K. to marry me?
To put it in a nutshell.. What is the best way for us to live happly ever after (together) in the U.K.
thx.
If she wants to get married here, yes. You can visit each other, and then when you decide you want to marry, apply for the marriage visa.wooly wrote:Thank you.
I have looked at all those options listed and for one reason or another ( age, lack of skill etc.) the only one open to us is mirrage.
And I don't fully understand the gargon used by the visa office.
She will come to vist me for one month.
then she will go back to Canada.
And a month later I will go and visit her for one month.
then I will come back to UK.
Does she then apply for a 'marriage visa' to come and marry me?
And how long can she then stay with me?
thx.
Clarification - the marriage visa I'm reffering to is only if she wants to marry here and return - which she doesn't want!Wanderer wrote:There's the fiancee visa too to consider. Can I ask if you two have actually met each other?
Hmm...I don't think they will give the fiancee visa if you haven't yet met? I don't know for sure. Listen: all of this can be sorted out by the end of the year;wooly wrote:Thank you.
We will be meeting for the first time next month.
We want to be together and have talked about it alot. We didn't realise the headache involved with immigration etc. until very recently.
thx.
They're not easy or hard. It depends on what job industry she's in. If she's an engineer or even a teacher, it might be easy (my friend has a work permit, and she's a reception teacher). So it just depends on what her skills are. If she's only an admin assistant - forget it, unless she speaks many languages fluently (I'm thinking Kazakh, Urdu and Fijian or some weird combination!). She should look into it herself - do some job searching.wooly wrote:Thank you.
I did ask about the work permit and was told that it would only be issued to people that had a special skill or type of people who couldn't easly be found on the UK job market.
Are work permits difficult to obtain... are they like a 'sponsership'?
thx.
