Brisvegasgirl73 Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 I would love to live in the UK (I have a british passport so easy to do) but I have 4 children under the age of 13 and an ex-husband who would not allow me to leave the country with them. The only option is for him to come here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisvegasgirl73 Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 Also just wondering...but he and his family moved to Auz when he was 10 and lived here for a short time before going back to the UK. Does the fact that he has lived here before (even as a child) help with applying to live here again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Any chance you could move to UK to be with him? Far easier visa wise! Otherwise Prospective Marriage Visa - gives you 9 months to tie the knot! What Quoll said. If you are really serious about each other and want to be together, perhaps consider applying offshore for a PMV and then waiting till its granted and he head over to Aus and you get married within the 9 months. Then apply for a spouse visa after that. It doesn't take too long to be approved generally, 8-9 months but some have been granted a bit quicker.

Does the fact that he has lived here before (even as a child) help with applying to live here again? You might be thinking if the former resident visa, but he would have had to have lived here for nine years and maintained close ties. Otherwise, no this is irrelevant. As to strategy, well I would go for PMV, get married and onto partner visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisvegasgirl73 Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 OK just another question...If he comes here for a holiday can we get married whilst he is here on a tourist visa and then he goes back to UK and applies for partner visa? Is that allowed and is it quicker? It's just we know it can take up to 7 -9 months for the PMV to be granted....we want to get married asap now we have already waited a lifetime :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure you are not in love with the romance of a 34 year separation and reunion and the idea of somebody spending their whole life waiting for you, than you actually in love with the individual? Because it is November now and it was January when you were first advised as to what you needed to do in terms of a PMV and so on, you would have got that by now if you had acted then, if you really wanted to. And the fact you have not done anything yet, nor did you get married when you were in the UK speaks volumes to me. Are you just kidding each other and yourselves here? Because to be fair, nobody stopped you from seeing each other and nobody made you marry someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was probably your quickest option, but it's an 8-9 month wait for a PMV. But he could then stay in Aus and you'd be married and iirc he would have rights to work etc while partner visa goes through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
