Does Anyone Know Of Any Women Who Have Married Dominican Men In The Dr, And Have Successfully Got Them Back To The Uk. Is There A 100% Success Rate With This? Are There Any Spouses That Have Been Refused Entry To The Uk, Even Though They Are Married To A Uk Citizen?
Hi faguens
We know many Dominicanos here in the UK. Many have come here on a Spouse visa, which is pretty straight forward as long as you can prove you are financially stable and can support your partner whilst they look for work etc here. On a spouse visa (valid for 2 years) you can work here in the UK.
Also, know others who have come on a holiday visa but it is difficult almost impossible for them to stay here longer than the valid period and there is no legal possibility of them working on this visa. Even if you wanted to marry on that visa, your partner would have to return to the DR and reapply from there. The tourist visa is more difficult to get as the applicant has to prove they have sufficient funds to support their trip AND prove they are likely to return to the DR before the visa expires. As a sponsor you can fund the trip but they have to show they have a reason to return to the DR, a bit complicated.
Some people have also arrived here on a Fiance visa which has been straight forward, if not more expensive and time consuming. Again, working is not permitted on this visa. You can get married here in the UK using this method but then would have to reapply for the Spouse visa to enable the applicant to work here in the UK. Check out the prices etc
