Civil partner /partnership??? (Mexico-England, visa etc)?

Question

What exactly does this mean?

We are engaged and we have a child together. I am a British Citizen, my fiance is Mexican, and our bb has dual nationality.

I am currently investigating the laws for my mexican fiance to come to live with bb and i in England, however the info from the embassy is really quite confusing! My fiance has the right to apply for a visa because he has a british family member (our bb), but it seems that he can not work in the uk for the first 6 months... is that right?

Does it not make any difference that his son and fiance are British?

What about if we were to get married...would he be able to work and live like a brit then, or does he still have to come to England for the initial 6 months (and not work) before applying for leave to remain? Thank you!

Answer 1

If it's a civil partnership you're talking about, for the UK at least that's aimed at lesbians and g*y men.   Not quite marriage, but the same idea.

Perhaps speak to someone at the nearest UK embassy if you're unsure, and emphasise that you're finding it difficult to understand.

If you're British and he's not, then he should be able to come to the UK if he marries you.   Expect a tough interview at the British embassy, though, which as tough as a matter of course.
