Having COS, Doubts about Parter Visa

[cespinoza]

Hi, I'm from Chile, I have a COS and next month I have to apply for the visa, I have some doubts about if the visas could be rejected, I will apply with my partner and our children of 6 and 9, but we are not officially married I've been living together for 9 years, but I'm yet legally married with an ex-wife that doesn't have wanted to give me the divorce in all these time.

Thanks in advance.

if you have evidence of your co habitation for 9 years, you might be able to apply for your partner as an unmarried partner. I guess you might have to answer many questions since you have not officially and legally divorced your ex-wife.

1. About the children 6 and 9, did you have them with you new partner of with your ex-wife? if you had them with your new partner then it might be a bit easier but if one or 2 of them were with your ex, then you will need the consent of your ex to get a dependent visa for the child(ren).

I don't think that the British system recognises polygamy, therefore your main issue will be that you are still legally married to another woman and you want to apply for a visa with another woman without legal documentation marriage.

You might want to get an immigration lawyer.

I'll apply only with my last 2 children that I have with my current partner, the older is 9 years old, with my ex I have 2 also, one is already older than 18, both are living with their mum, then I don't have any intention to bring them with me as my relationship with my ex is very bad, and children are influenced by their mum.

I have a document from 10 years ago that is an agreement with my ex about the monetary help I had to bring to my children with her when I broke the relationship and currently I'm bringing to them yet.

My ex wife never wanted to sign the divorce to receive benefits and as a way to bother me, here at Chile that isn't viewed as polygamy, as all the people has the right to begin a new life, here is a very common situation every day. Polygamy is to be married legally with two people at the same time.

Thanks.
