Hi everyone. I need some advise/opions/reasurance please.
I am uk born citizen and my wife is chinese national.
She was in this country for 3/4 years at uni. Which she passed. She was due to go home in 2007 and then we met. We started a relationship and started living together amost striaght away. I never realized about visa's etc as I had no experience in this matter. But she let her visa run out. She had seen these agencys online saying they an get visas so she thought she would go down this route.
She never told me about her visa until I proprosed, then she told me. She thought I would be so mad but hey, everyone makes mistakes.
We applied for COA to get married and explained everything. The Home Office wrote to us and asked for more information. It took them nearly a year to give us the COA but in August last year we got it and got married in November.
In the letter from them they advised us to apply for LTR when we were married but could offer no guarantees. We did this but it was refused with no right to appeal.
They give us the option for us both to move to china but I have a son from a previous relationship and this is not possible or she could go back to china and apply from there, which she did.
Its now been 6 weeks and we are still waiting. It is driving me crazy, not knowing what is going to happen.
We was living here in Uk nearly four years. I have a job. She was working voluntry at an organisation helping non uk's with problems, housing, benefits, etc
Her family have been supporting her also with payments every month, and she has about 3 grand to bring back with her.
We have supplied every possible document to support our case.
Do you think we have a chance??
Sorry for the essay but I needed to say it all.
