Hi again,
Well I am doing some study into all that is required, and have come across this from UKBA.
Genuine and subsisting relationships
Can you apply?
If you are applying to enter the UK, or for permission to stay or settle here, you will need to satisfy us that your relationship is genuine and subsisting.
When we consider your application we will look at all the information available and your individual circumstances.
If your relationship is genuine and subsisting we would expect you to be able to show evidence that you:
are in a current, long-term relationship;
are living together with your partner;
share responsibility with your partner for any children;
share financial responsibilities with your partner, such as a joint mortgage or tenancy agreement, a joint bank account or joint savings, and utility bills in both your names;
and your partner have visited one another's home country and family; and
you have made plans about living together in the UK with your partner.
My questions are:~
First this seems to imply that I MUST get my girl over here to prove I am in a relationship yet I thought from previous studying that this was not a requirement?
2. You are living together with your partner. What? How can I be living with her until I marry her bring her home with me? I am confused?
Can you please help me here? Has everyone here ahd to bring their bride home to UK then send her back before applying for a visa?
Many thanks John
