I've read there's kind people on here with experience regarding visa's like CR001, vinny, Casa and other people, we'd appreciate it if someone can help and I'll try and keep it short.
My partner and I have been together since 2014. She moved here to study at university from Hong Kong in Sep 2015 (and so we could be together). In June 2017 she went back to HK to do a work placement at a bank (she could not get one here and thought it was important for job opportunities in the future), she returned to uk July 2018 to complete the remaining year at university.
We understand we are suppose to have lived together 2 consecutive years at the date of application but this isn't the case. But in the general guidance it says
"However the 2-year period does not have to have been completed immediately preceding the date of application if, for example, the couple are currently living apart for work reasons in order to meet the financial requirements of the rules, providing that the relationship continues to be a genuine and subsisting at the date of application"
Essentially we spent 1 year 9 months together, then the placement and now it's been 1 year 1 month.
Would our situation qualify under this type of 'example' they have provided.
We have no trouble proving our relationship is real and whilst she was in HK we saw each other every 3 months.
We've been to see an immigration case worker but she hasn't come across this before and says most people just get married.
My partner's visa runs out beginning of October so we need to move quickly with this unfortunately.
Thanks in advance for any help.
