Hello from Texas!

Hi everyone! My name is Cristy, and I'm currently back in my hometown of El Paso, Texas. I met my husband, a British citizen, back in 2009 during our respective years abroad, and moved to the U.K. back in 2013 on a settlement (marriage) visa. After five amazing years together, I applied for Indefinite Leave to Remain this year, but due to an oversight (travelling on my second passport while the decision was pending), I received legal advice through my company to leave the country, withdraw my application and apply for settlement from outside the U.K.

So somehow I am back at square one after six years of marriage. It's been heartbreaking, but I'm trying to keep my head held high and solve my error as quickly as possible so I can return to our wonderful life together.

I have been a fan of this forum since 2012, and I regret I'm barely chiming in after so many years. Thank you in advance for your support!

Hello Cristy!

I’m currently living in Houston but I’m a born and raised El Pasoan from Eastwood (Album & Yarbrough).

I’m sorry to learn that you’re back in El Chuco under some cruddy circumstances. I totally feel for you. Hopefully you’ll get back home in no time xx
