Helo my name is Stace and i am 21 years old. I married my husband on Jan 1st 2010 in America. My husband is an American citizen and i am a UK citizen. We met over the internet 6 years ago but nothing of it we were just talking. Recently like 2 years ago we became very close over the internet and we decided to meet each other so i went to meet him in america. i stayed with him for three weeks and it was amazing, we went to colardo etc was so fun. I ended up going back in November suprising him on thanksgiving and he propesed to me in kansas under the stars all magical haha but perfect. I am currently doing my nurse training and have 2 years left to complete. After that we plan to move to Canada where I can work there. He doesnt want me to move to america to do my training, (a) its more exspensive and (b) its longer. So we filled in some paper work, had the interview and we set for travel back to the uk as newly weds. We got stopped at the immigration border and was told he hadnt filled all the paperwork in.So he was allowed 3 days with me in regards they had his passport then he had to purchase another retun ticket home. Our fault really we did not reaseach enough into it and we learnt from our mistakes! so the immigration officer told my husband to go to washington on a detour flight and sort it out there. My husband stopped in the freezing cold in jan to see the british embassy in Washington! only to find it did not exsist there anymore it was now in Chicargo! He was on webcam to me in a cafe. So his flight went through chicargo anyway but he decided he wud sort all this out at home. When we got home we gathered allt he paperwork together and sent it all off including documments of our finance, place to stay etc. We had a lovly lady in immigration department who dealed with us. In March they denied his visa on the fact of his criminal record. 7 years ago he was done on little minor things as stealing and tamerping with a stolen vehicle, his proabtion was up 5 years ago. We understood this but evrything else in our case passed. We were advised to get a solicitor and appeal this case. We appealed the case in April 2010. The tribunal have just got the case and sendining it off to the british embassy now and they have until 31st August to reply if he can stay here if not we have to go to court and appeal it again. Its stressful im not going to lie but sometimes you just have to think why i started this in the first place. Ive always wanted to be with mty husband and we have to make this work. So im writing this just to let people know read through your paperwork and make sure everything is filled in. I have been over to see him in June 2010 only for a week though due to me working now. I am going back to university in January but im not going to lie financially it is dranining too but will be 100% worth it. If things dont go to plan erm... ill kepp you posted haha god bless x
