but surely if the law says 21, and there is all these stories of people being screwed over by it, its not worth 'wasting' the 870 quid on a rejection based on her age?

believe me, I want to fight this, and Ill do what I need to, but I dont want to waste my money, I dont have alot of it!

I havent been assessed for any means based income. never asked for a dime from this country. see, even if it WAS post dated, the baby would be born by then, so it wouldnt help us out atall. I have to get her back here before the birth, I just have to :< I know its asking alot, but is there anything ...

I couldnt agree more, but if it would help get us together faster it'd be worth it! as it stands we are still really lost I mean, without the whole, fiancee thing, we are basically at a stand still, its sheer madness, there has to be something I can do. something to help move things along. so that ...

ah, well, regular income I can definately do. this is a theoretical situation. so bear with me! what IF. baby gets born in SA. now, itll be british (or so im told?) if it carries my name on the birth cert, married or not. and I was to fly out there and then bring the baby back with me. would this ...

Goddamnit, so all I can really do now is bide my time, the proof of relationship is already there, in place, and even signed by a judge! cant get better! and I already have accomodation, so I just keep that going. and.. save as much money as I can. so from this, it seems that spouse visa trumps ...

Does the spouse visa have a 21 rule too? I assume it does, but cant find any clarification on it?

If not, could I not just go over, marry her, and then bring her back on a spouse visa?

Either way... there isnt much hope of my baby being born in england is there? :<

ok, so, any imposed 'work restrictions' or benefit ones, do they also happen IF we went down the spouse route? Accomodation is doable, as is the relationship! (ofc) I am panicking about the finances, I have no pride/shame about it one way or another, its a crappy salary, I work hard, but its a ...

2nd reply on this one. The home office rep said this ' The rights of the baby cannot be considered as it is unborn, and anything can happen' and whilst true, thats a horrendous thing to say. essentially, she has nowhere to stay in SA. and I cant afford to 'rent' two places, but what can I do? go ...

Definately the age limit of 21 is still in place and covers all spouse and fiance visa applications. There has been a 'successful' appeal recently in the High Court, but as the Home Office are appealing this decision, a change in the Ruling isn't imminent. The Biometric appointment bears no ...

Aye that was where my question was leading xD no sense pissing 870 quid into the wind if they will turn around and say no. Well, thanks for that. it seems we have to wait, which means the baby will be born in south africa. Next question I have to ask is, will we run into issues afterwards? I wouldnt ...

Hey, We were told, that this would be no issue, as that is in place to stop forced/underage marriages from the various countries where they arrange those sort of things. This is actually, our first and largest hope, so whilst I fully expect you to be spot on, and them full of it. At what stage of ...

Good afternoon, This is my first post here after weeks of reading, seeing if I could find a situation like mine, but, evidently not! So, a quick bit of backstory (please feel free to ask questions, if it would help you advise us better) I'm 25, British, No criminal record, Working fulltime, Renting ...
