romanian national fathering a british child

[laura_ashley]

Me and my boyfriend are currently living in cyprus, I am a british citizen and he is Romanian. I am pregnant and we have plans to move to the UK, are there any ways for him to be exempt from needing an accession worker card due to him being the father of a soon to be british citizen?

thanks
laura

urm.. ok, thanks for the blunt reply, do you have any idea if there are any ways to hurry through an accession card application?

It would be different if you were married.
