Hey,
My girlfriend and I have been dating for about a year and a half. I don't really feel its appropriate to qualify our love or relationship here so I won't do it but I please ask you to take the post seriously
She's finishing up her undergrad degree in the UK. I'm a full Canadian citizen. I'm still in my undergraduate degree. We have looked at marriage visas but both know that is a couple years away at least. I am struggling to see how this could go in a couple ways.
1)When (and if) we do get engaged and get married. What is the best way for her to get the sponsorship? I have been reading about inland or outland applications and I get the general feel from the forum that outland is quicker most of the time.We don't like the idea of getting married and being apart for 11 months though. Is there any practical way to get her a visa that can last the duration of an inland application? Or is the inland application enough reason to stay?
2) We have plenty of evidence of a real relationship littered all over the world. Our facebook records show when we became friends, were we have been. We've taken pictures of christmas together and all sorts. This sounds like a relatively easy part of the process?
3) Is the medical thing as daunting as it seems? I read about expiries and all sorts.
I feel out of my water here and some of the terms are quite threatening to me even if I have been perusing this forum for about 4 months.
I would really much appreciate if anybody could lay out some basics and how their own situation has gone? Things like time and different steps they had to take and setbacks that can occur?
Thank you everybody
