Thank you. I needed to hear that & appreciate it.korp wrote:You partner can and should use the NHS, even if she herself does not have legal right to "health care" (which is rarely even checked anyway) her and your unborn child have right to health care and no GP can refuse this and no GP would ever "report" her either.
You also need to remember that you could be in trouble with Children Services if you and your partner does not make sure she has her antenatal care arranged. That is viewed extremely seriously.
The first thing you need to do is go get married also, no waiting to summer crap or need to making it fancy.
THANK YOU all again, for such great advice, this is just a quickie b4 I head into work.Greenie wrote:yes you can get married even thought she is here illegally but you will need to convince the registrar the marriage is genuine.
Without marriage and in the event that she is not pregnant you may find it difficult to prove your relationship is genuine to UKBA given that you have only been together for less than 6 months, do not live together and she has overstayed for a significant period. You say she 'might' be pregnant - pregnancy tests are pretty accurate these days - so did the test say she is pregnant or not?
I would not trust an immigration advisor who requires you to have money in cash and who do not specify their exact fees. Even if it is £1200 this is still expensive particularly as they are not solicitors but OISC advisors. You also do not need a set amount in your account, particularly if you can show that after rent and council tax you have at least the amount that a couple on income support would recieve (£105.95 per week). The fee for an FLR(M) application is also not '£800-900', it is £550.
Before you start giving your money to someone you have presumably found on google, you may wish to get some quotes elsewhere. Where in the country do you live?
the OP confirmed above that his fiance is not pregnant.madona587 wrote:Mate not trying to scare you, Let me give you a bit of advice from my personal experience..
My wife is an EEA national and I'm on a Work permit in UK. She got pregnant last year and we were called to NHS overseas office where they interrogated us for an hour or so. Even though we both in UK legally they have looked into my wifes birth place which is not being a EEA country. They told us the cost of delivering a baby would be nearly £3500 and you have to pay more for any Scans and treatments during the pregnancy..We had to show so many documents and statements to prove our relationship (marriage certificate etc) and proof of address etc. This could be OK for you given you are a British citizen. Do check out whether she is eligible for treatments cause she has no legal status in UK.
Such a nightmare. So be careful when your wife goes to GP cause as soon as they know she is pregnant she gets updated into the NHS system then you will get the letter from Overseas office asking you to come for an interview to prove your immigration status and other things..
I'm sorry you are in this situation.
Listen to the experts advice above ^ here they know a LOT better than the Solicitors..
Hi emanz do you know if we can use the FLR (0) application and send it back to them ???EMMANZ wrote:Hi Vinny,Greenie & Insider.
Can i start by giving you all my suituation. I came to the UK 8 years ago on a student Visa which expired in 2008 so i have overstayed here for about 4years now. I have a partner who is british and we also have 2children, we have been together for 6years but not married. I have a solicitor who advised me recently to apply to stay in the UK under zambrano which we did but was rejected because the home office said i am not d sole carer and removing me would not affect the children because they can stay with their mother. My Solicitor said we need to apply under Article 8 now but i havent decided on that yet if i want to go down that road because i heard its a long process which could take up to 5yrs or even more. A friend of mine said to me to return back to my country and get married there and apply from my country. But i am not too sure about going back with my family and making an application from there just incase it might be refused and my children would have to stay there longer missing their school and their mothers family who are all here. I am also scared if i returned to my country and my previous overstayed status affect me. If we are to get married it is genuine one and i have all documents to support any application i make and also i have been with my partner before my student visa even expired. can someone please advice on what to do.
