Hi there,
I hope you can give me some advice. My partner came to England from Brazil a few years ago on a spouse Visa. I think it was November 2009 that they divorced, meaning his visa expired with immediate effect.
At this time, I was pregnant with his baby. We moved in together in October 2009, and have been living together ever since. Our child is now 8 months old. We obviously want to get him another visa, and have been advised by a solicitor to apply for a marriage licence and once married return to Brazil to apply for the spouse visa. My partner is worried that once in Brazil, his application will be refused.
Prior to his visa expiring he had been working in the UK and paying taxes. He can get another job offer to support his application. I own a flat with only a 50% mortgage, and have a few thousand pounds in savings. I do not currently have a job, but am self-employed doing bits and bobs of work, which is enough to live on. I am not on state benefits of any kind.
Can anyone tell me if the fact he has overstayed will go against him? Also, will we be granted the marriage license? And if I don't have a permanent job, how much do I need in savings? DOes the fact I paid £100,000 deposit on the flat count as a good asset?
Please advise, as my partner is really scared of going back to Brazil. Thank you very much.
