I’m soon to start the process for a fiancée visa she also has a son just turned 5 yrs old and have found this thread quite helpful, I have been worried about which path to take and what would be best and quickest for a successful application.
In my mind it would be far better for my fiancée to adjust to living in the UK with her son by her side, and not have to go through the emotional trauma of leaving him behind. It also goes without saying what this would do to her son, as they have never been apart before.
This has been a bit of a moral dilemma for me as I feel I already know what would be best for the kid, but have been worried about trying to satisfy what the ECO want.
Maybe I should mention I work in social services but with adults with learning difficulties, and have seen the emotional damage that family separation does to both parties. As the government’s policies in care tend to be to keep the family unit together, I would hope the ECO would be sensitive this also.
