Neilbittles, I've already replied to your post on this subject.neilbittles wrote:Hi Ny152,
it seems that you and i are in the same boat.
I met my girlfriend in australia when i was backpacking in March 2009. Unfortunately i had to leave australia and continue my travels. I arrived back in the Uk, Northern Ireland Oct 2009. My girlfriend then arrived here in the same month on a Tier 5 youth and mobility UK work visa valid for two years. She is an australian citizen and I am a british citizen settled here in the UK, Northern Ireland.
We recently got engaged and would like to remain in the Uk for a further two years. Her visa expires in Oct 2011. By Oct 2011 we will have been living together for two years in the UK and have all the proof to back up our claim e.g. bank statements, pay slips etc.
We have been advised to apply for a de-facto visa/unmarried partner visa. Is it possible to switch and apply for this without her having to leave the UK???
Anyone who has been or is currently in this situation will know how stressing it is as you dont want to loose your partner. Any help and advice will be much appreciated.
what is the stage are you at ny152?
