lorr Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 As the title states I am really worried that my boyfriend will be unable to come over to the UK when its eventually time for us to get married. I met him whilst working together on a cruise ship for the past few months and we have been inseperable since. Although we are planning to go to each others countries to start off with,I believe that he will have problems coming over to the UK as he is from Colombia. In the UK, Colombians get a lot of bad press due to Drugs etc, and I somehow believe that it will affect his chances of even coming over for a visit, and even marriage in the foreseeable future. He is definitely the one for me, and he feels the same way no doubt about that, but sometimes I feel the added pressure when it comes to Visas and Immigration etc. To be honest I would prefer if we eventually got married in the UK and him relocate over here. I would love to hear from those who faced hurdles and challenges like this, which eventually led to both partners being reunited. Also can someone give me further advice on how to get the ball rolling in regards to Visas etc? Also would it be easier for us to get married in his country(Colombia) and him coming over to the UK?

aerogurl87 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I don't know about getting visas to the UK but right now my boyfriend and I are going through the visa process to get me a one year work visa so I can live with him in Canada. After that we're going to go through the immigration process so I can relocate there permanently as a permanent resident. I'm sure if you read the official UK Border Agency site (found here at http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk) you can find out more information. Or do what I did and check that AND look for an online support group for UK immigration (I found one for Canadian Immigration that has helped tremendously thus far). Good luck Link to post Share on other sites
