Hello all, very useful website!
For context, my girlfriend and i live in Germany together. I'm British, she is Chilean. She lived here 5 years, myself 3. We lived together for 2 years and have always been employed in the IT sector. We want to get married, then at a later date, to go to that UK to live.
I believe the Surrinder Singh route is the best way due to decreased costs. I am confused in some aspects and wondered if someone could clear them up:
* Our goal would be to live and work in the UK for the foreseeable future. If we get the Surrinder Singh authorised, where does this leave us in terms of visa. Do we need to then apply for another visa in the UK? Or, can we live for 5 years on the Surrinder singh authorisation and then apply for leave to remain after 5 years? I just don't understand what the next steps are after arriving in the UK via Surrinder singh.
* Is it necessary to get a solicitor? Is the process easy enough for 2 people to do, or do we need professional help?
* Is the application turn around time known?
* If after 2 years of living in the UK we want to start a family, would my girlfriend have access to the NHS?
I'm basically confused as to what the SS route actually means once you're in the UK and want to stay for life.
