Indeed yes, and that is the far easier way to do it, surely!Barrysmith wrote:Can she not come to the uk on her eu passport in january and then we get married then ?
Where do you get that from? Surely there is no such limit.Barrysmith wrote:One worry i have is on a eu passport she can only stay for 3 months
Shouldn't she apply for a spousal visa after marriage so as to obtain ILR and British citizenship sooner than allowed under EEA regulations?John wrote: So the only downside to this is that the Home Office has made no announcement thus far about how Romanian and Bulgarian Citizens can get any sort of visa post 01.01.07 to enable them to work in the UK. OK, I know she could apply for a WP, but I mean any sort of settlement visa allied to marriage to a British Citizen. But if she does not want to work as an employee .... well does it matter?
Perhaps the answer is to apply to the Home Office "in-country" (after 1.1.07) and if they refuse to accept the application, then immediately contact one's Member of Parliament.John wrote:JAJ, you may well be right, but in the absence of any guidance from the Home Office I think my comment is ... who knows for certain?
And where could she apply for such a visa anyway? I ask that because she has a right, as from 01.01.07, to exercise many Treaty Rights in the UK. It could easily be argued that as her husband (as he will be) is looking after her, she will indeed be doing so as a self-sufficient person. So could she apply for the spouse visa in the UK? Or would she need to go back to Romania and apply there?
The truth is that the Home Office need to clarify matters such as this.
It's not just a question of her "not being deported". Do you want her to be able to become a British citizen in due course? If so, then you must go through the proper channels.Barrysmith wrote:there seems a lot of ifs and buts and no one knows what is gonna happen. if she comes here we get married and then have the baby what is the risk of her being deported back to romania. I mean if shes not working or claiming any govenrment money who will know shes here
I was under the impression that immigration offences were prosecuted with civil proceedings not criminal. I've never heard of someone receiving a criminal record for illegal working.After that, deportation is highly unlikely. She would have to have a criminal record of some sort to justify it (working illegally would give her such a record, by the way).
