Taking Argentine Wife For Uk Visit

[mulderfox]

It is understandable for some people not familiar with the culture here, Argentina by no means is a welcoming country, just happens that the immigrations officers don't care about doing thier jobs and can be misunderstood as a ''lax'' or welcoming attitude, i have stories at immigrations in Argentina that will make you cry.

you can enter the country as a tourist with no visa, overstay or do visa runs to uruguay and still ask for residency. sounds lax enough to me.

That's what i'm saying, on one hand they don't care and on the other hand, you are not supposed to do Uruguay runs if you are planning to stay longer that what is allowed, on the account that is ... well a little bit on the outside part of the law, am i alone in this?

In my view,who is being "judgemental",and hastily so.is Dada not Joe.She makes a statement on the U.S. for example as a formal enough exp<b></b>ression of opinion and later on when called out on it says,"My exp<b></b>ressions are totally subjective" .She should have mentioned the subjectivity in the first place instead of being so formally demonstrative.I'm with Joe on this..

So, striving to be non-judgemental, I'll leave this one in the Disagreement bin.

Guys, please, let's get misunderstandings out of the way.

1) Yes, I am judgemental, by nature. That means absolutely nothing, feel free to ignore my opinions. Joe, Brian, I absolutely love your country, if you wanna know. It's fantastic. Once you make it through the border, the normal Americans will treat you like the normal human being you are. So far so subjective.

2) This particular thread is all about the treatment a foreigner gets at the border. The citizens may not feel this part, until they bring along a loved one from abroad. In that respect, I'm afraid to say, the US is THE bully nr 1 and there's nothing subjective about that. It's a fact.

Because OZ is way too far from Europe ie. flights are expensive. (Great though if you'd like to visit Asia often.) To show you how much OZ rejects immigrants in the middle of a pan-European migrant crisis, the Far Right in Britain wants were it in power to adopt what OZ does! ('m British btw.).

Regarding the problem of Britons not being able to live in the UK, their own country, with their non-EU foreign spouses and children, this matter is now being challenged before the Supreme Court on human rights' grounds of a citizen's right to choose whom he marries and to have a family life with in the country of his own nationality:

'Families Challenge Minimum Income Visa Rules' reported 23/2/16 in 'The Guardian'.

The matter extends to non-EU partners not even being allowed to visit and see their British spouses' country. The 'minimum income' threshold does not take into consideration the earnings of the foreign spouse. This draconian law separates families.

Same problem in the Netherlands. Where it used to be enough to have any friend/family sign for the incoming spouse (that you would have enough funds to have them live there), it has changed in the past decade together with the political moves to the right. Now it is impossible to live together, even though this is against EU law which should technically be above national law. But nobody has been able to challenge the immigration laws successfully.

The only backdoor -at the moment- is to live in any other EU (Maybe Schengen?) state for about a year, be registered there etc. Then you are both considered EU citizens and are free to move to whatever country you want, together.

It is not even that I have the burning desire to live in the Netherlands with my wife and two kids (who do have both nationalities and can stay without problem), but I want to have the opportunity.

Hey, Patagone and Sockhopper:
That's a whole lot of bullying,in my view.
Maybe Dada's Bully List should read
1) The Netherlands
2) Great Britain
3) U:S:A: alias The Great Satan.
