Hi everyone
I came to uk in 2008 with student visa, I got married to eea national and I was given 5year eea family member visa in October 2010, due to some issues we separated in September 2015. In October 2015 I applied for my permanent residence which was granted in April 2016 so I will be due for British citizenship in April 2016 by Gods grace.
In 2011 I traveled to Nigeria when I was still with my ex, I met my former girlfriend when I was in university in Nigeria, some how one thing lead to another she became pregnant and gave birth in 2012, the boy is now for years old now.
My issue now is I want to marry my baby mama so that I can bring both of them here in uk tho I want to do that after getting my British citizenship.
Please the guru's in the house what is the best way to go about it.

Explain what happened in 2011 while married in your form then submit all spouse visa requirements, there is no other way to go about it

anyichi16:


Your parents will have to write a covering letter indicating how many rooms the house have, how many they will spare for you and your partner, their consent that both of you can live there comfortably without the house being overcrowded, Their consent that both of you are married. They will attach the energy bills, BT phone bills, house deeds and registery etc. Your parents will also attach a copy of their British passport. You will also attach a copy of any letter from the government(example HMRC tax letters) indicating that you live in the said address. Please let other members of the group help in stating the remaining things.

@abakilikiboy

-Please go ahead and marry your Baby mama.

-Ensure that you both state in your affidavits (this is required at the marriage registry) that you are single with a Child.

-Create a folder & begin to collect hardcopy evidences of your relationship with your baba mama. Past, Present & Future ones. Emails, pictures, chats, calls, money transfer etc)

Am not sure of the year you said you would become a British citizen (u wrote April 2016) but whenever that is go ahead and put in for your spouse's settlement visa.

It is not the ECO's job to Judge the circumstances of the birth of your son.
& If they do have questions they would invite you for an interview.
Thank you abbylove
I will definitely do
I need you guys advice best way to go about their application
1-I will be in Nigeria in February next year so am thinking of going to registry in Lagos since I will be around, so that they can apply everything while in Nigeria which will be around July 2017 after my British citizenship.
2- Or invite her on fiancé visa and do the registry when she gets here in uk.

Please the best option please.

You would also require an independent property inspection report. It would cost you £175. And the above requirements from the previous respondent

Lexusgs430:


First and foremost, get the Lagos registry ceremony done and keep certificate well.
This is the start of your spousal application process..........
If she applies for any sort of visa and gets rejected, how would that help your heart & your pocket ?
No Wuruwuru to the answer,best to do it well and right and get the best outcome.............

abakilikiboy:

Thanks Lexusgs430
I really really appreciate your support and response but are you saying the best option is to do the whole processing in Nigeria.

Abbylove:
Its two means to an equal end.

One option isnt better than the other.

Read up about both routes at www.gov.uk and Do whats most convenient for you.

Both options would yield the same result. Which is your wife and son living with you in the UK.

Just ensure your financial & accommodation requirements are met.
Thanks abbylove.God bless.
I will prefer the Lagos registry since both options will yield the same results.
Doing the registry here in uk will double expenses, applying for fiancé visa and applying for settlement visa when they get to uk that makes double expenses.

Lexusgs430:


What I am saying is, put the horse in front and the cart behind..........

abakilikiboy:

Please do have an idea of the amount for visa fee for both of them.

wallg123:
hahahhaha @Lexus i never saw this happening ...... I have to now cancel all my nija plans......I thank God for everything ...

I heard in the news today that Dss are now visiting owners of Lexus570 ....do u still want it ?

abakilikiboy:

Please do have an idea of the amount for visa fee for both of them.

Lexusgs430:


Don't forget to pick up your BRP within 10 days of arriving in the UK.
One other thing you should not forget, is my Lexus GX570........................

wallg123:


@Lexus I won't forget that as my wife has started bombarding me with calls asking a board the next available flight back...Her reasons being that the "presidential villa " has started developing cobwebs, ...lol..

As for that Lexus x570 it will be delivered by the same DSS that visited our Judges recently ....

Uchman365:


It will be a bad idea to try to get her a visa to the UK, it will probably be rejected once they see your relationship and cause unnecessary problems to her settlement visa.

Just get married in Nigeria, get everything ready and apply once and for all from Nigeria

abakilikiboy:

Thanks uchman
Appreciate your concern. We will do the registry in Nigeria and get other things ready while waiting for my British citizenship in April 2017 by Gods grace.

oladunni4real:
good day everyone,
I read Nkiruka1986, and I don't know if my case is similar to hers.My hubby moved back to UK in Feb 2016, and every details of our application including communication and other supporting documents start from then. the only other thing we have that has a timeline is our pictures.from 2014 till when he left. watsapp is from February(phone changed). and we have been living together since we got married in November 2015, so there was little chatting going on then. Will that pose any problem to our application under genuine relationship?

Abbylove:
Hi.

Little chatting is still chatting.

Its not going to pose a problem

You may choose to provide an explanation for why you have little evidence of communication during that period in the "additional information" space of your online application form...or in your cover letter

Ensure pictures for the before, duration & after that time he was with you (Nov '15 to Feb '16) are dated and included

Good luck @oladunni4real

Abbylove:
Good choice and good luck.

Looking forward to reading your success story

Lexusgs430:


Once payment is acknowledged, a spousal visa stamp is the only thing left.
Hubby would be with you before Christmas. And you can have a double celebration (anniversary + xmas). If only I knew what Santa would put in the socks(would love to be a fly on the wall).....
