Could it be that you simply failed to prove that the marriage subsists? What evidence did you supply to prove that the two of you are living together? How many pieces of evidence? Spread out over the whole of the 2-year period?To say our marriage is not subsistent (ie. does not exist) is a HUGE INSULT to me and her! Ours is a genuine marriage and we intend to live together in the longer term and start a family.
Isnt it possible that they thought that your wife considered her spouse visa as one glorified visit-visa and hence the suspicion of "They said we are not going to live together permanently" ?limey wrote:During the 2 year period she was in the UK only for 4-5 months as she came and went 5 times in total between the UK and China
If you plan to head off with your wife to Irelend get ready to have some more "fun" with the immigration over there. Have a look at the Ireland forum to have a sneak preview of the "wonderful" time you might encounter. You have a far better chance if you are to stay here and use your status as an EEA national.limey wrote:I feel like renouncing my British citizenship right now! My Irish citizenship will do just fine for me!
Smit, that was an amazing thing to say out loud. Even though I had thought of the same thing I dint do so as I dint know how to do it without being confrontational. You managed to pull it off without being provocative and there is a lesson in tact over here somewhere for me.smit wrote:the fact that you and your spouse lived in the UK together as man and wife for 4-5 months out of the 2 year probationary period went against you. Put yourself in the immigration officer's shoes and tell me what you would do in their place?
Hi Limey,Limey wrote: The application was done by post as they said it was too complicated to be done via interview!
So, from what has happened to your wife, i gather this:But after she failed the ILR, they denied all knowledge of saying that they said that! Now she is meant to leave the country!
Actually we did ask that specific question and the reception girl said 2-3 weeks as holidays.You should contact IND and just ask them what is the maximum amout of time you wife could be out of the country during the 2 years?
Why is that?limey wrote:Doc: She can apply for a family permit from China using my Irish citizenship then it is FREE! I know it sounds crazy. Also, the Family Permit is more flexible and allows her to travel more.
You can't get a residence permit for the UK. However it is understood that dual British/other EEA nationals may sponsor through the EEA system if they wish.In support of this , I am getting a residence permit for the UK using my Irish citizenship. Even though I am already British!
Your wife's UK-issued EEA Family Permit will be no use in the Republic of Ireland.Using my Irish citizenship also makes sense in that we intend to move to Ireland in the longer term.
What UK visa would that be? A tourist visa? or an FLR(M)?Therefore, we will each get multi-entry visas to visit each other
And this would be the VAF-1 settlement spouse visa (for 2 years) to be applied from China, is it?Then we will apply for a spouse visa for her to live in the UK.
