Hi Karen

I am so sorry to hear that your hubby is so ill, it must be such a worry for you being so far away. I was involved in a "mercy dash" when my brother became very ill in the Philippines last year and I sponsored his long term partner and son to come to the UK to be with him. They successfully obtained urgent settlement visas and all three of them came to the UK at the same time (I have an extensive thread in the Legal Section of this forum about obtaining help for my brother).

I notice that your status is shown as engaged and that you mention a fiancee visa but you call your partner "hubby" which suggests that you may be married. If you are married or can prove that you have been living together in a long term relationship, you may be able to secure a settlement visa, initially for two years on humanitarian grounds.

As far as your partner's health condition is concerned, the aorta is the main artery carrying blood out of the heart. When blood leaves the heart, it flows through the aortic valve, into the aorta. In aortic stenosis, the aortic valve does not open fully. This decreases blood flow from the heart.

I do hope that your partner's condition is now stable and that you are able to come to see him as soon as possible. I am sure that a more experienced member of the forum will be along with further advice soon about the visa situation.

Take care
Rosie
