Marriage and deportation

[The Booted One]

A quick synopsis of my scenario: A few months ago I got caught when I went back to help a previous employer. My permit for that place had already been canceled so I received a fine. I paid the fine and then received a deportation notice from Immigration. The woman at immigration told me the only way to get back in would be marriage. I have a long-term gf and after much discussion we decided to take this route. After completing the marriage registration a second immigration told us that because we married after the deportation notice I have to wait a year to come back. Does anyone have any concrete info on this. Trying to get in touch with my lawyer at the moment but I only have two days and this is incredibly stressful!!

I don't have anything concrete, but a guy I know is in a similarish boat. He has to stay out of the country for a year before reentering and getting a JFRV.

No way around it, AFAIK.

You're out of here for a year.

Also another Fcom member didn't not realize his ARC had expired thereby overstayed, married locally, booted out for 1 year.

I was married already and still booted out for 14 months in 2000. Entirely not my fault I must add. Applied for JFRV, got the visa, but was told by the cunt at immigration that I didn't need to do anything else after this. She was clear about this. Even said I was entitled to work (not true at the time). So 2 years later discover by accident I have been living without a valid ARC, which means I have been living here illegally. Nothing to do. Out for a year.

wow, strict. Hopefully he didnt get married for nothing then?
So he cant even come back in at all? NO tourist visa possible, no study visa possible?

[The Booted One]

Tommy,

For the year there is no possibility of any kind of Visa. Right now my lawyers and I are waiting on the appeal decision from the government. Keeping my fingers crossed that the decision will be overturned.

You'll be the first that I knowof then as yours was a clear illegal employment breach.

It seems as you said wanting to get married after that doesnt bring any bearing on the matter.

Very unforunate.

Hi, The Booted One.

Are you English?

[The Booted One]

Irishtu,

Nope I'm Canadian. Would it help if I were English?
