I am a newbie here. Hmm how to cut a long relationship and all its history short...
I am from London and I met my fiance in Greece 7 years ago. I was 15, had no way of bringing him over etc let alone going to see him.
2 years approx after we met he was arrested for posession of 3gr cocaine. Yeah, in the UK that would have been a warning at a police station and have a nice life. In Greece however, things very different. He received an 8 YEAR sentence and served 4 years. He was released last year and sent back to Albania.
He walked back to Greece and was there illegally until 3 days before Xmas 08 when we decided to try and get him into the UK using a Greek Identity Card/Passport, fake. It was basically a last resort decision. He was stopped and deported back to Greece where he spent about a month waiting to go back to Albania. He is now in Albania again.
We have not been able to be together on a permanent basis for 7 years and we are just so desperate to be together. I am now 22 and in University, I have been to see him in Greece/Alb whenever I have had time off and money. It is just so difficult.
Therefore I cannot offer to help with a spouse or fiance visa, or at least I don't think I can. If I could, I would use my father's home and finances as our support/sponsor in an application. I do also have a part time job where I earn about £100 a week. I have evidence re photos, flights, letters galore.
I have read about the criminal offences section of an application, and I remember something about when assessing they would see into what the jail sentence would have been for what he did in Greece, in the UK. As this wouldn't even lead to a jail sentence in the UK as a first conviction, I have some hope for this.
So:
1) Been in prison
2) Been caught out at airport in London
3) I don't have a home
I really just do not know what to do anymore, and do not even know if there is anything I can do. I am so sad with my life and fed up, I just need him here

Really sorry for long first post and would appreciate any advice from the bottom of my heart xx
