Hehehe always, especially for you 😊🤗😋
Hello my friend, Scotland is keeping me entertained indeed… for as long as it may be. (They refused me too 😔 so we have to find another solution)
Aawww I can see it in front of me, she tripping over her big feet getting somewhere quickly 😄😂 aaawwww that must be the cutest thing. Enjoy the puppy stage, they grow up quickly 😎
You are welcome, have an awesome day 👋🏻
No shit?! I felt so alone for awhile. I read a couple pieces about people staying in UK from other countries and was seriously trippin like it was personal they wouldn't let me stay.
Did you get the same denial because you're not from a war torn country? Refugees were receiving priority which is fine, I would insist they receive priority anyway, over spouses.
The only way I had a chance of staying was to separate from Pura, go back to the states and forfeit my passport to UK while Pura remained in England for medical purposes. That process was to take "6-8" months.
They expected me to separate from my wife, their citizen, who's chronically ill and hand over my passport for the majority of a year.
WTF
How rude. I'm all bla bla about me me me and you're living it. What now? What's the first phase of thinking sound like?
Sorry that's happening to you.
Nope, you are not alone anymore… we can almost open our little club together hahaha 🤣
I know what you mean, it’s great other countries help. But what if you have no residency anymore… where to next? They said I ticked all boxes. Before our actual move.
They helped us in November what to apply for and even what to fill in with certain questions. And when we should apply. Now… they say it was too late and what “they” filled in was the reason for refusal.
“pardon me?” Yep, you read that right…. 😵💫 I’m confused 😕
We can’t believe it… crazy things. And “without medical reason or being a refugee you can’t stay” they said. And just like you. Go out of the country alone for up to a year until we maybe approve another visa so you can join your husband, also Pay 15k£ plus over a period of 5 years… 😳
Nope not with us. We don’t want to be apart for almost 1 year. (Waiting lines are much longer now) I have no country to go to… so what the f ***
Yes, like with you… they are CRAZY! To even say that to you. Leave your spouse…
No worries… you know what I feel right now. It will bring up emotions.
We talked this week a few times with a lawyer. We are talking with work what options they have for other countries. As soon as I know more I let you know. It will be a move again… sigh… again… 😔
And we only wanted to settle down… I’m not even a burden to any other state.
Luckily we adjust quickly. But it still hurts. It’s so wrong. (They refused on their own answer.)
Thank you, sorry it happened to you too.
Hope you are settling in well there 😊
£15k, yikes. Yeah, less than a year ago when I was in it like you are, it was £5k. That's a helluva markup.
Not only was I to separate from her for nearly a year and release my passport but it would've cost me £5k.
I know exactly what you're going through. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. We had to leave. I'm sorry that's happening to you.
Please do keep me posted. I know your husbands work will navigate the majority of your path. You're a lot like me, bobbing and weave with the punches. Gets exhausting after awhile.
<3
It still is, but to stay… you have to repeat the same process at 2 years and 9 month, and 2,5 years after that. Plus all the double cost from living apart a year I haven’t added yet. That’s a renovation of a cottage…
I think now, their loss… we will move on.
Now we need to wait indeed what work says. 🤓As that is the main factor that influences our lives at the moment.
I know, it is just crazy, on one hand they want you to proof you have a relationship and be together and then they separate you? It so doesn’t make sense…
Thanks a lot @dandays 🤗
I will keep you posted, and it sounds like we have a lot more in common than we thought 😎
Up to plan… D or was it F or … hahahaha 🤣😂
Enjoy your day 👋🏻☀️
Great point. We had to consider that too. And do the numbers. Not just time apart, fees, and release my passport but like you said, two living expenses.
Wtf!
What in the real fuck is that about?!
Hey, you know what? A colleague of Pura's took off to England about three months ago with his wife and child. He said they had everything figured out, lawyer yata yata, knows everything. My wife tried explaining to him it's not like that and waned to tell him what happened to us after lawyers and govt officials blew smoke to our asses.
He wouldn't listen. I haven't heard but I can only imagine the hole they're climbing out of now.
Know what a buncha virtual stranger friends of ours said when England let me stay? Something along the lines of good! Who tf wants to be in dreary ass UK anyway?!
= }
A lot of things are involved in getting a residency now in the UK. One has to look at the whole picture.
And they still can refuse you, each time. Before you can stay stay…
Exactly like that 😳😵💫
Wow… they must have problems too. We didn’t get it. (You and me)
They are refusing many applications now I heard. Waiting lines for appeals and admin. Review went from 6 months to 12 months. Due to unprecedented applications. So all eu scheme applications must have been closed now. They could have told us before we moved when we talked to them.
🙄
I know…
Unfortunately we have not many options left at the moment. Climate and weather won’t change much I am afraid hehehe
Due to work and hubby being British… since UK left the EU he can’t just move to an eu country anymore.
We figure it out. We have a bit of time 🕰️
Brexit really put a big red F word on everything. Speaking of, the number of people I talked to there about Brexit were against it with the exception of one cab driver. I asked him why he voted for it.
He told me because I didn't understand. I'm not making this up.
Then Covid. Now the war. Weird time to be a gypsy.
