I am a 25 year old british woman married to an 27year old brasilian man.

I meet my husband in england the beginning of 2008 once he told me he was illegal in the country and explained everything, we both decided it would be best to go to brasil before our situation got any worse.

So i spent 6months with him in brasil, until my visa expired and had to return to the uk, now 6months later i returned to brasil to marry him,

but i really want to live in england as much as it is lovely in brasil it doesnt meet my needs or life style.

but the problem is my husband was first declined a student visa to england in 2007, so with this took it upon him self to go there anyway illegally..he wanted to study our language as to better his chances of a good job he would enjoy in brasil!

There was no reason for his visa to be declined. He had more than enough funds to support him and had paid for his school in england to study! And his own restaurant.

but not long after he entered the uk he got deported and had his finger prints taken!! but these prints are under a false name...

JUST the name! he DID NOTshow any false documents of any sorts just told them his name.

then later, he returned to uk again illegally for the 2nd time that is when i meet him and we left uk together he was not deported!


So my question is if we apply to go to uk will his finger prints come up in the system?
will they decline him entry if they do or find out he used a different name?
(however the name he used was very similar to his own name just a small difference which could have been mistaken with his bad prononcation of english at the time.)

should we tell them the truth of how we meet?
will it be better for us to do this?
what would be the best way for us to go to uk together?
or would it be better for us to try another country, one we both can feel neutral to.

Some help would be very very grateful!!

Hi Kelly,

As far as I know the British embassy will require your husband's fingerprints again. This then *maybe* matched with the database. I cannot confirm they check all fingerprints but they certainly have all they need if they want to.

With regards to giving false name, I'm not sure how can you get away with it as he needs to declare his previous visits to UK. You can try to omit but if found through fingerprint check things will be even worse and almost certainly he will be rejected.

You have got nothing to lose if you apply but it may be better to leave things to time. If you are married for let's say couple of years it will be more convincing to visa officials that your husband and you are not married just to get him a UK passport. Perhaps you may come over to UK and speak to an immigration lawyer to get official advice.
