Well to try to keep it as brief as i can, i met my partner october 2006 here in London, and we have been together ever since.
She was only here at the time on a student visa, and did not check when it was due to expire, and so she ended up over staying by a few weeks, but she had to go back to see some family in the states and when she got to the airport she was detained by British immigration, who held her for a while and sent her home they stamped her passport stating she was refused entry, so back home in the states she got some of her family to help her out and she got a new passport, but we knew if they scanned her passport, immigration would find out what had happened, we were devastated to learn she may have problems getting back into London, so when she tried to get back to London, we were a little sneaky and got her a flight to brussels and then got the eurostar into london waterloo, strangely enough she was ok, and didn't have any problems, but then in nov 2007 we decided to go away to finland for a skiing holiday and when we got back into London gatwick, she was found out and detained again and held over night, and eventually they decided she was to be sent on a flight home back to the states the next morning.
Her uncle in the fbi, managed to pull a few strings and get her back to london for 6 months but in the meantime she would make a proper application for a 5 year work/ highly skilled migrant visa for the u.k, she went back to the states a few ago before the 6 months ran out and we have just found out her application was denied due to her being detained twice in the u.k, and we are scared she may not even be able to fly back to london next week because of whats happened, can they stop her from coming back to visit me for a month or two even though her application was only denied? we are so totally lost and scared about the lack of support and avenues we could try, we are both gay, female and do not have much rights, is our case a lost cause? or is there still hope?
All we want is to be together, but we are forced to be apart, can anyone advise me on anything we could try?? we are even considering moving to dublin, ireland, do you think she would be ok applying there? or would it be the same problems? or is moving somewhere else a better option if none at all??
thanks for reading this x
