Hi thanks for the reply.
I'm just trying to get as much evidence as possible for precisely that reason.
I will draft the letters just to make it easier for my friends to sign and add/change as they see fit. This is not an attempt to con immigration.
We have been living together in London for a few months now and have email logs and messenger messages as well as months of mobile phone calls to each other.
Below i have copied my original message on this board about my circumstances from the thread entitled...
South African wife to be: spousal visa
Dear all
I would be grateful for any advice or help. I am a British National.
My girlfriend is getting divorced from her husband (EU National living in the UK). She will be returning back to South Africa as her European Residency visa will no longer be valid.
She has been living with me for sometime and we have been in a relationship for over a year. I would like to marry her immediately after her divorce comes through. We plan to marry in South Africa.
I was wondering how long the application process is likely to take for the spousal visa to clear and for her to be able to return to the UK to live with me?
Can we start the spousal application process before the divorce has come through if we have the marriage date organised etc?
The time frame is important for two reasons: there is the obvious one of how long we have to be apart but also she currently has a job here in the UK and would really like to keep it. Whether she can or not will probably depend on how long she will be forced to remain in SA as she awaits the spousal application process.
I really have no idea how long this process may take so if anyone has any experience or any sense of time frame I would love to know.
Thanks
