Hi mrako, I don't know if this applies to you, but myself and my missus (before we got married) applied for her to come back here with me, we went through all of the rigmarole of sorting it all out at the British Embassy in Hong Kong, but decided not to bother. Then we got married in Guangzhou (China) and low and behold, she could come to the UK if she wanted to, as she was now my wife. So if you marry out there, as the good folk on here say you should, you should have no problems. If she had a child, well, it would automatically become a British citizen and they can not stop a mother and child that is being separated..I know because when we arrived here for her one and only visit, the immigration started getting uptight about a legal technicality on her papers, so I just said, right, here's Junior, you take care of him, and they freaked out, and so when they noticed Junior was a UK citizen, she was let in straight away. We went back to HK. after 2 weeks and now she refuses to come here and I agree with her( too cold, too expensive and living in Bradford...too violent), unfortunately I'm in the same boat as you my friend, back here now, no job, not a lot of money in Bank etc. but hopefully in December I'm off back when I get my pension from the Buses and I will not be back. Good luck to you mate, just think though, will your circumstances get better if she comes over here? or would it be much nicer for you to find something out there? I don't think being on the dole and living in rented accommodation is the ideal thing to tell them, Get out there and wed her, then take it from there, go on, live a little. Who knows...you might like it.....
