Sorry if this is the wrong forum, could you let me know where to post
if it is.

Here is my story; I will try to keep it short and to the point.


I am engaged to a South African woman who is also 6 weeks pregnant with
my child. I am currently in the UK and she is in South Africa staying
with her parents. I am British with a full UK passport and she is south
African with a SA passport.

I want her to come to the UK as quickly as possible because I don't
want to miss any of the pregnancy or have our baby born in SA, so time
is of the essence.

She was not allowed into the UK on holiday because immigration said
that they did not believe that she would come back,

What visa does she need? I was told that it would be unlikely that she
would get a visitors visa because she has already had a failed appeal
to stay in the UK this year (after it failed and she went back to SA.
She was trying to get a civil partnership visa with her ex but could
not prove that they where together for long enough)

As we are engaged it would not be a problem for me to travel to SA for
us to get married, if we do get married can she still be refused entry
or a visa?

Any advice would be appreciated

Unfortunately this is a forum for people looking for advice on US
immigration, not UK immigration. Hope you manage to find a more relevant
forum and can get some help.
