albanian wife coming to uk with child to live

[sherriesmum]

my boyfriend is albanian and has a wife in albania and a young child.he plans to move her from albania to live in the uk.we currently live together in a secret relationship.my impression is that he will want to carry on seeing me when she arrives in uk.i understnd he will have to have somewhere else to live with her.he is 35 years old and she is 19.he meets the criteria on the finacial side of things but he is an abusive drug dealer and gambler.i have never seen this relationship as long term so it must remain secret even when she comes over here to live.i believe they just have to fill some forms in and then she can come over here permantly-i dont know to be honest.are extra marital affairs against the rules when allowing an albanian wife to come into the country.also how much would it cost to get her here.tbf knowing what he is like here i cannot see her having a good life in the uk cos he works nights and treats me like a slave i can only see misery for her as she wont be able to work because he sleeps all day etc and she wont know anybody.could their application be refused on grounds that he has been cohabiting with me and will they ever find out.my friend says i should report it as its in everyones interst that the wife stays out of uk.

Report him to the police if all this is true.

What is his visa status at the moment?

Then you need to be looking for support from organisations like the police and the Southall Black Sisters and get away from him first.

Once you've done so - you can file intelligence with UKVI.

Well said MPH, I must admit I read it slightly wrong at first, I thought the OP was the wife and Albania lass the girlfriend...

Anyways, get away from this man first, then decide what to do.

I feel physically sick thinking about such a person. Please seek support from your local women's aid/domestic violence support centre. Report him to the police so they're aware of him, explain what he intends to do to his very young wife. What a horrible human being he is. I know it's very difficult to leave an abuser (my Mother's ex-husband was one and we suffered him for years) but really he'll just suffocate you, you must escape!
