Dear All,
I am Hungarian, and my unmarried partner is Kenyan, and an International student. We have been together for 3 and a half years, and lived together for almost 3 years now. We would like to stay together in the UK as this is where our life is. My partner has just finished her studies in Finance, and has worked part time in it during her studies. I work in retail.
Our problem is:
My partner and I recently applied for residence through the unmarried partners route. I was awarded residence, but my partner was declined. Although we had provided tenancy agreements, council tax letters, Bank statements and letters from 2 professional people attesting to our relationship, the reason given was that they were not satisfied that we had lived in a relationship akin to marriage for over 2 years. Because my partners student visa is still valid until Feb 2005, we cannot appeal this decision until the end of this period.
Can someone please give us some advise on what options are open to my partner and I between now and then, as the thought of us being parted is an unbearable option for us. Is there anything we can do to help ourselves in the time being.
Please help.
Dpap.
