My visa is valid until 7th July this year.
However, life has caught me by surprise again and I met someone, something I was clearly trying to avoid because of the impending visa doom and having to leave, not cause any hurt to anyone in the long run etc, but it has happened. I told him straight up that I cannot stay etc but it turns out he wants to stick whatever it takes, to the point if he had to leave the country with me for a while then he would and is already applying for a second job to save for that possibility.
For some reason I thought for the partner work visa you had to live together 12 months so it was never an option of something that could happen but obviously got that confused with the residency.
What do you think I should do about the current visa situation, because if I don't say anything then to immigration the time that we are together isn't going to count for anything, but if I do tell them, then what are my chances of being deported or not being able to continue on until July?
You are obliged to advise INZ of a change of circumstances. But those circumstances include that your previous relationship ended, that you atempted to reconcile, and that you are now in a new relationship that you intend to endure
