Hi everyone - looking for some advice.
I am applying for the resident visa, my partner is an NZ citizen, we are in the UK and have been together for 13 years and lived together for 12. We have one child already who has an NZ passport and I am pregnant with no2 due in a couple of months - we will follow same process for them and apply for their passport asap.
I have 3 questions -
1) Anyone know of any issue when applying whilst pregnant? I have read I won't need to do the x-ray (they request it post baby) but will do the rest of the medical, could being pregnant impact the medical at all?
2) Around proof of genuine relationship - we have lots of rental agreements, bills, pictures that date back to 2011 but I have read people upload text messages and do that for every month or so - I don't have texts that date that far back my phone has from 2016 so only have texts from there onwards. Just wondering from what point in time I start showing communication each month?
3) We were thinking of spending some time over there whilst I am on mat leave and whilst the visa goes through - by the time we go over it should be 6 months in to the potential 12 month SLA, is there another visa I could get in the interim?
I am wondering if my case is a little complicated and I might benefit from getting a immigration advisor involved, but keen to hear any inputs from this forum.
Thanks!
