Chances are?

How nervous are we allowed to be as US citizens longing to be with the love of our lives in the UK? Caryn can't come here because of her ex-husband, so I need to go there. We have met in New York City in February, lots of pics, I went to England the end of May, lots of pics, I went to Scotland on holiday with her the end of July,  (I proposed, she said "yes"!), lots of pics, I'm going again on the 17 of August to help move into her (our) new house and returning to the US on the 10th of Sept. . I have my own savings to hold me until I can work and then some 'til  we're married and  I can work and very good references and work records from here in the States. Are they going to let me in to be with her and my ready-made family of two girls? I'm so ready to get over there and be with her forever and always. Does EVERYBODY sweat it out? Does EVERYONE teeter on depression from seperation and anxiety over the visa? I'm not asking much, just a chance to start my life with Caryn as soon as possible.  Is age a factor? I'm 44. Does it matter she's currently on Public aid because she's a single(nearly divorced) Mum raising two girls? Will they see that once I have a job the Public aid will no longer be needed? I'm praying they let me be with her, we've been waiting too long to be together as Mr. and Mrs!

Hi Fred
If you're planning on going on a fiance visa,you would need documents showing the divorce is underway and will be final within the 6 month fiance visa period. Age isn't a factor as long as the person is 18.
I was very nervous,anxious and scared about my visa. But it is so much simpler then I thought, I worked myself up thinking it was be super hard to get here.
It doesn't matter if she is on public benefits,as long as you don't apply for any. And it also doesn't matter that she has children. The main thing here is making sure her divorce will be final within 6 months of your fiance visa (if that is what you are applying for)
Good luck!

Thanks for the reassurance. I really need it. We're so close now and we both need each other very badly.  Refused entry now would crush us both horribly! This forum is full of nice people with words of wisdom and experience and you have given me a little reprieve from the stress. Knowing other people have done it, and made a life there in the UK with their soulmate is awesome. Thanks again.

Fred,

We have so been there. It was almost physically painful...and the depression was horrid. But once you are together it gets better...I promise. And Caryn is very lucky to have you...as a former single mum, I know how rare men like you and my Paul are. Just focus on the packing and getting ready. It will be over soon.

Good luck,

You need to make sure that everything is okay with regard to the finances.  If she is on benefits, you need to show that you have enough money to tide you over until you have an income.
