Over the past 2 years or so, I've heard at least 3 distant relatives of mine and aquaintances tell me of the following scenario. When I heard it the first time, I didn't pay much notice as I put it down to "chinese whispers" and lies. However, I have now heard the same story from different families regarding different couples:
A British subject (male or female) goes to Pakistan and gets engaged/married. A subsequent fiance/settlement visa is applied for and obtained successfully, through the normal legitimate channels. Once the other partner arrives in the UK, differences emerge within the couple and they don't get along for whatever reason. (These are not pre-planned, there's just a legitimate breakdown in the relationship). In all the cases I've heard about, the breakdown has happened within months of arriving, in one case within 3 days! The Pakistani partner leaves the marital home. Now this is where the story gets interesting. Apparently, the Pakistani partner, be it a male or female, can go and make a report to the police (even if its a false report), that they were subjected to physical abuse and were assualted by the other party or their family. Apparently this situation of being abused or assualted then leads them to be able to apply for stay in the UK without the support or approval of their "sponsor". It seems this route, if it even exists, is open to huge fraud and I'm very confused as to how it is happening. Like I said, I didn't really believe it but I've heard at least 3 different stories of different families. One of which the guy has been here for a number of years now and even has a British passport now. In all cases, NO children were involved.
Any thoughts? Thanks
From hindsight similar stories are available in abundance at several anonymous websites especially embedded with chatting feature. Aside this, similar incidence do occur but very scarcely but the good experiences are seldomly shared. But as a precaution before importing someone into UK a reasonable amount of time be spent in her/his native country without being obsessed with as the rules/changing might be changing by doing so.t_kaay wrote: ↑Mon Oct 12, 2020 3:10 pmSo, I'm posting this question as I've heard this story on more than one occasion and it seems improbable to me.
