Why do you judge that using someone elses docs to work is worse than the overstaying a visa ? She paid tax, rented an appartment and has never claimed anything. Pretty much a model migrant.sherriesmum wrote:working illegally using other persons name and documents.hopefully no one will help you on here.sorry but your gf is well out of order.britain welcomes legal immigrants.
my advice go back to her homeland and do things properly.

Don't think so, as long as you both meet the financial requirements. It's the amount earned over a 12 month period. If you have a child the amount increases. Here are the financial requirements.
Does it matter that I can support her and she doesn't need an income?
No, as long as you both meet the financial requirements.
Are there any obvious issues to getting married / do the changes make it much more difficult to getting married?
Not sure. Marrying or proving you're in a civil partnership is essential, whether it's better to try do it in the UK or abroad I'm not sure about.
Does the 10 year rule, that I read about, mean she could stay here anyway ?
No, the 10 year route is only for people who have been here legally.
But how do you explain away the part where she has been using somebody else's identity? Her passport and documentation till 2008 will have one name and after that another?odat wrote:as she overstayer you can use FLR FP FORM under 10 year route to ILR (discretionary leave )
Its a good question, but she could say she was living with a boyfriend, would maybe be the best answer.t123456789 wrote:But how do you explain away the part where she has been using somebody else's identity?

Thanks, its somehting I've brought up with her oftenWanderer wrote:Don't hold out much hope for this one.
Best bet is for her to return home before she gets arrested/detained and take it from there...

as a Russian myself I must say all of this is very sound advice, bravo )yoshi_jp wrote:Having spent loads of money to live here legally, I "usually" get a bit wound up by this sort of stuff, but for the sake of my love of Slavic Europe, here comes my thought experiment.
The only way out as far as I can see is:
1. Get married in Russia, or perhaps Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova etc where she needs no visa to enter and stay indefinitely.
2. For the above, make sure to pick the location where you two can get married easily.
3. Move to another EU member state together ("Surinder Singh" ruling)
4. Stay there together for at least 3 month while you work there to exercise your treaty right
5. Come back to the UK together
6. Use form EEA2 to get a residence card.
If she has no valid Russian passport at all, she'll need a one-way travel document (IS137) to get out of the country.
If she has, at least, a Russian "internal" passport, she can enter Russia, Belarus or Ukraine (and perhaps quite a few more).
Step 1 should be fairly easy if you two can deal with Soviet bureaucracy.
Step 2 needs some study.
Step 3 requires a visa. You two, once married, will be entitled to live in any EU state barring the UK, but she needs a visa to board the flight.
Step 4 is self-evident. If unsure, read 2004/38/EC
Step 5 is easy if you decide to live in Ireland (Rep of). There's no border check.
Step 6 is legally "optional", but practically a must.
Beware of direct flights from the UK to Kiev, Minsk, etc. They often carry out exit checks at the boarding gates to detect overstayers.
The problem is how to board the flight.
Good luck
