amibovered Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 someone with much more knowledge will be sure to be along soon. but I wouldn't hold out too much hope, even if you were eligible for a visa could you afford the several thousands pounds it would cost?

bell123321 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 How long have you two been together and do you have much evidence of the relationship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattBoots2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 about a year and skype most days we have evidence and i have savings of a few thousand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bell123321 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Have a look at this link: https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/801- I have a feeling you have to be living together for at least 12 months unless there are certain circumstances. Someone else may have other advice or another visa that maybe you can try but I think it will not be easy. Is she able to come over and live with you for at least a year?

Quoll Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Not looking too flash there - can she come to UK to live with you so you can evidence a suppose visa? There is a prospective marriage visa but you have to get married within a specified time or you go home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinkla Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Prospective Marriage Visa - although unlikely to be granted by September. Why is September so important? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
