Hi Ladies
Just take a nosey at this edited post for good advice - does it remind you of anyone who used to be a member over here (I wont bore you with all the posts, just the salient points):-
Dear Members,
My partner and I have been declined our 2 year unmarried partner settlement visa on the basis as we didn't meet the criteria needed.
There are certain points raised by Immigration which I agree with and some which I have provided evidence for but I think may have been over looked.
Moving forward, I know I could re-apply however to compile all the documents they want will some take time, and at this moment I do not want to put us through all this again.
My partner has previously been issued with a 6 month tourist visa and also a 2 year tourist visa. Do you think it would be possible for him to apply for another 2 year visa again? - This will allow him to visit the UK freely and it would mean that I would be able to see him more often. Until we decide what it is we want to do.
How long would I need to wait before applying for another visa? If we do it so soon, would it look bad on us?
I am very disheartened at the fact that although we have been together for 5 years, it's a piece of paper not allowing us to be together. I also believe it is my right to say that Yes, I want to spend my life with him, but I don't want to get married as yet. Although now, I am beginning to feel as though the only option is to marry him which is not a problem for me, but I do not feel I should have the choice to not marry him. This is due to a cultural aspect.
Any light and guidance you could offer would be appreciated.

Edited Advice:
Not sure if you are aware but you could apply for a Fiance Visa. If you choose this one it is valid for 6 month, you will have to be married within that time. As soon as you are married he can apply for a Settlement Visa but it has to be applied for before the Fiance Visa runs out. Down side is that he won't be able to work before his Settlement Visa is granted. Also if you apply for this visa you will have to provide proof of wedding arrangements.
I'm sure other members will also give you advice.
Dear Abi,
Thank you for your advice.
Unfortunately, for me the 6 month Fiance Visa is just not enough time to get everything sorted.
The only option I am left with is a Tourist Visa.
He does have a business in Turkey so I am hoping they will see this as a reason to return to Turkey along with other bits of land, a house and car etc.
With our unmarried partner settlement visa, we did mention that we would like to get married at some point and it still remains, it just seems now it will be closer than expected.
Do you think we should wait before applying?

Advice from Super Mod:-
Personally, I feel that with the UK Government promising a tightening up of immigration that, after being refused a settlement visa, the chances of getting a tourist visa are not very high as they would probably think that you are trying to side-step the regulations.
As Abi says your best bet is to apply for a finance visa. Surely you can organise a wedding within 6 months? I've known people do it in 3 days.
Vic thinks:
Sunny, I don't think Esmer wants to feel forced to rush into marriage.
Response from Super Mod:-
Yes, I can understand that but it may well be the only option if she wants to be with her man, other than moving to Turkey.

Hi Esmer
You say its only a piece of paper keeping you apart, do you mean a marriage certificate or the refusal? I may be wrong but I understood that you and your partner have not lived together constantly for 2 years, in other words 24 hours a day 7 days a week for two years in the same country. I got the impression you spent sometime in Turkey and he spent time in the UK. If that is the case then the application would not meet the rules.
All decisions made by Entry Clearance Officers are based on the Immigration Rules
295A. The requirements to be met by a person seeking leave to enter the United Kingdom with a view to settlement as the unmarried or same-sex partner of a person present and settled in the United Kingdom or being admitted on the same occasion for settlement, are that:
[indent]
(i) (a)(i) the applicant is the unmarried or same-sex partner of a person present and settled in the United Kingdom or who is on the same occasion being admitted for settlement and the parties have been living together in a relationship akin to marriage or civil partnership which has subsisted for two years or more; [/indent]
Refusal of leave to enter the United Kingdom with a view to settlement as the unmarried or same-sex partner of a person present and settled in the United Kingdom or being admitted on the same occasion for settlement
295C. Leave to enter the United Kingdom with a view to settlement as the unmarried or same-sex partner of a person present and settled in the United Kingdom or being admitted on the same occasion for settlement, is to be refused if the Immigration Officer is not satisfied that each of the requirements of paragraph 295A is met.
continued by same poster:-
You obviously feel you are being pushed into marriage but unfortunately when we choose to enter into relationships with non Europeans the luxury of choice is often taken away by governmental rules.
Vic says:
Luxury of choice? What is marriage if it is not the luxury to choose to enter into an emotional, social and financial partnership for the rest of your life. Not a decision to be taken lightly, I would have thought
And it goes on. I've edited it, but honestly it beggars belief that people whose halo's are choking them are still pushing women into marriages of convenience, wonder what the UK Border Force would make of their advice? Its wrong, very wrong.
