indeed for your very in depth and honest sentiments in my quest to just love my girlfriend. It is a bad state of affairs when I have to ask the ''Government'' can I love and marry another human being-who has not done a bad thing in her life, but yet, they they are willing to let people from the EU come across the borders ....some of them hard workers, but others who are murderers. My girlfriend is a humble and caring person just born outside the EU. Oh well, our fight will continue, and can I thank you all for your support. I will keep u guys up dated. Thank you so much John

if they made it to cheap to bring our loved ones here,it would take so long for the visa to be processed because so many would be appyling.

to be honest i think getting a visa is far to easy and should be far more restrictions on who can apply and get given one.

it should be your legal right to bring your wife or husband to the uk, as long as they don't have a criminal record like your average scouser

it should be your legal right to bring your wife or husband to the uk ...

... as long as it is a genuine marriage, and not one of 'convenience'.

I believe that this is the reason why each and every application has to be scrutinised.

and how do they know that ?

and why they so bothered about money and somewhere to live ? what it got to do with the gov who you marry or where they are from ?

i agree about the marriage of convenience thou, but how do they decide it is ??

I guess that they attempt to do that by weighing up all the evidence presented to them. Inevitably, they will get it wrong sometimes. However, from the reports on this forum (where, I hope, all the marriages are genuine), it would seem that really genuine cases are rarely denied. However, we all have to suffer that agonising wait while the decision is made.

What I do think is really unfair is the apparent assumption that no one can form a meaningful partnership below the age of 21. I really hope that discretion will be used when applying this rule.

The thing you need to remember is that your girlfriend might not be a bad person, but she has come to another country and chosen to break the law for a long period of time. You might not see overstaying/illegal working as a bad thing, but the Government does, and does not want to encourage it in any way, so you can't expect it to be easy for your girlfriend to legalise her stay here.
