I agree, 13 months is far off from 24 months. I wouldn't risk it if I were the OP. If you want to be together so badly, why not get married? The eco wants to see a practically married couple in the upv proof documents anyways. Is there a difference other than the marriage certificate and wedding rings?mrlookforward wrote:HRY, I think it could be possible if someone has proof of living together for most of 24 months. eg someone claims to be living together from may 2008 to may 2010, and they only have hard proof of last 20 months, and then maybe someones letter confirming that they lived together for the previous 4 months too. But having proof of only 13 months doesnt seem enough. I think that with official proofs of only 13 months, a caseworker might not be able to tick the box, even if he thinks that the couple is genuine. Casewokers can sometimes overlook little things, but this would just amount to closing the eyes, prospects dont seem good.
Yeah mrlookforward. I wasnt sure about varying WHM because I remember that one of the rules is that you must leave the the UK at the end of the 24 months because you can't renew them in-country.mrlookforward wrote:You are right, except for that whm visa can be varied. She wont have any basis for applying outside the rules.
Just reading the case of the person you refer to and it seems when they did apply for UPV they were only just short of the 2 years (maybe a month or so) and they had children (twins). So to compare this case to that one and possibly increase hopes of a successful outcome is totally wrongHRY2005 wrote:I honestly agreed with you, I said it earlier in my post. I 'm only banking on the experience of the OP who got unmarried partner even though they were not together for up to 24 months last week.
I totally agreed with you, that was similar case with different elements. Even in my own case, we have a child and didn't risk it.djb123 wrote:Just reading the case of the person you refer to and it seems when they did apply for UPV they were only just short of the 2 years (maybe a month or so) and they had children (twins).

She cant marry in UK. Read my other posts please. The best way would be to get married in Canada and she can apply for a spouse visa from there. I think you should understand by now, that your visa as unmarried partner will not succeed. The things you have mentioned cant help you. UKBA wants hard official proof that you have lived "together" in a relationship akin to marriage for 2 years. The proofs you are going to provide can only act against you, not in favour of you. Any overstay can only have negative effects.bobbiandmitch wrote:Ok, this is Mitch here, the UK boyfriend. I wanted to clear a few things up and also ask a couple of things...
Firstly, we have flight tickets from july 10th 2008 when Bobbi came to the UK, we have other flight documentation to show me going there for a month and Bobbi returning to the UK. The reason Bobbi went back to Canada was to finish her degree. I realise it's still a long shot but do you think these flight tickets would support our 2 year relationship (23 months acutally). Also, we have a lot of correspondence from the times we were apart.
Ok now, we have a dilemma on our hands should Monday's interview backfire (which seems likely). We have a family holiday booked for the 15th June -22nd in which time Bobbi's visa runs out (19th).
So I guess I'm asking... Would it cripple our chances of any visa if Bobbi overstays her visa, even if she's not working?
I would rather get married this week??? Or would that not make any difference?
I am grateful for your advice on facts and possibilities but how do you and why would you care if I was worried about anything, let alone her going back to Canada. What I 'care' about doesn't matter here, what matters is we do the right thing now, to enable us to live together in the future.mrlookforward wrote:they must have a sponsors license from UKBA and she should be employed in a shortage occupation categoy. nothing can be sorted in this short time really. I cant understand why are you so worried about her going back to canada. getting a spouse visa shouldnt be difficult if you are working.
