Hi There,
I've found this post about my questions but it doesn't really answer to them.
I'm currently holding a Work to Residence Visa. I've been working for an Accredited Employer and my job is on the long term skill shortage list.
Thanks to this VISA, I've sponsored my partner and he is now holding an Open Work Visa under partnership, valid until the end of mine (May 2016).
My partner works as a carpenter/builder but he doesn't have any recognised qualifications. Also, he is contractor and has never worked for a company (he doesn't have any official payslip). Every weeks, he sends a 'kind of bill' to his boss and apparently, his boss pays the taxes for him.
I'm planning to move back to Europe but he doesn't want to. We will probably end our relationship and so, I was wondering
- if he was allowed to keep his VISA even if he get it through mine
- if he was eligible to another one ?
- if he has to apply under another one ?
Do my questions make sense ?
Many thanks,
Maureen
