SPOUSE VISA - BA IMMIGRATION HISTORY

Post by Saxon » Mon Apr 12, 2010 8:04 pm

Hello all good people

I'm hoping someone might throw some light on our situation

Basicall i'm a British national and i intend to go back to my fiance's country to get married and apply for a spouse visa for her.
We have been living together for about 8 yrs now and can prove all this. My financial position is also ok with savings of about £40000 and a full time job.
However my fiance arrived in the UK in September 2000, sought asylum in a different identity although no fake documents or anything like that was submitted to the home office. This was declined by the home office and the appeals suspended. She absconded and changed the address.
She however contacted the home office at some point last year and was told her case is in one of the legacy teams waiting for further consideration.
Now we want to go back home in December, get married and come clean about her genuine nationality and apply for a spousal visa.
My question is what is the possibility that she will be refused on ground 320 (110) bearing in mind her deception will have happened over 10 years ago?

Any advice will be very highly appreciated.

Thank you so much.

You should think about getting immigration advice.

I will tell you that claiming asylum in a false identity and/or nationality is taken seriously, as is absconding. Unless she fessed up when she last contacted the Home Office, she's been perpatuating whatever lies she told 10 years ago.

See this about refusals:

We have seen an immigration lawyer and his advice was to go back home and re apply but we wanted a second opinion. We have also seen a UK border agency programme where someone in a similar circumstance with another nationality was granted a spousal visa

The only way you will know is to go back home and apply for a spousal visa as each case is decided on its own merits.You cannot base your opinion on somebody elses case
