Exactly right - bear in mind that to be able to apply for the UP visa, you have to be cohabiting for 2 years, at a minimum, on the day the application is lodged.toby wrote:No, an unmarried partner visa is for 2 years and entitles you to work.oscgv wrote:I've looked into the unmarried partner option, but it's just like a tourist visa: no work and 6 months
In theory, no. But I would not recommend that you do anything which is not truthful - if you come as a tourist, what will you say to the Immigration Officer? That you came to stay with your girlfriend? You will probably be put on the first flght back to Argentina. And if you say you will be doing touristy things, you will be lying. If you want to go down the fiance visa, then do it properly.oscgv wrote: Just one last question, if I go to england before the end of this year, as a visitor/tourist, then after 6 months I come back to argentina for 1 o 2 months and apply for a fiancé visa to go back to england, will it be dodgy for me to explain it? I mean if there's only a window of 2 months between the end of my tourist visa and the begining of a possible fiance visa, will the home office deny it for some reason? Thank you very much!
Absolutely spot on, and always possible, and a dream that many Latin Americans have to go the opposite way that their forefathers did when the situation in Europe was not good and the newland was promising.Dawie wrote:Have you explored the option of obtaining Spanish or Italian citizenship? Many Argentinians are entitled to this by way of having parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents being born in Italy or Spain.
Of course once you have Spanish or Italian citizenship you will be able to freely live in the UK.

Whatever proof you have is proof enough - but still you fall short of the 2 year period. You will still have to accumulate the remaining 1 year four months... make sure you keep sending emails to each other and making phone calls whilst you're apart, and keep proof of that - so that they see that the relationship is continuing.oscgv wrote: only thing is, the only proof of us living together in argentina is just a couple of letters for her from england and my bills sent to the same address, I do have a copy of a contract of a flat rental for a two months period stating we are both living in it, signed by the owner of the flat, is this legal enough?

And then I could manage to get salary slips from her former employer here in argentina, she was paid in cash but I can get a letter from them stating she worked for them for 5 months in buenos aires.
So is this enough proof of us living together in buenos aires for the first 8 months?
Yes, this does help.oscgv wrote: I also have the bus tickets from paraguay to buenos aires and her passport stamped with visas for paraguay and argentina.
Thanks again for your help, I'm sorry it became a very long post again! Just one more thing, any links for degree level institutes in england, preferably in london? Thanks a million!
I was not disagreeing - I was only making a point that IF you had the documentation and IF you were ellegible, this would take some time to complete.oscgv wrote:and about the european passport rogelio, this is way I can't go that way:
awie, you are right and I've already tried that, I have french and italian ascendancy but the bad news is my italian grandmother can't pass me her citizenship cause she's a woman and she was born before 1948, it sounds weird but that's what the italian law says.
And my french ancestors are too far up in the genealogy tree (great grandparents) for me to apply for it.
And no spanish ascendancy, at least not before 4 or 5 generations.
Hehe and also, that's the "spanish" spelling for "Why", I guess I could just enrol on an english course!Rogerio wrote:The above form is the Spanish version... Roge"r"io is the Portuguese version.oscgv wrote:rogelio, this is way I can't go that way:
