For details of my story refer to this link http://www.immigrationboards.com/immigr ... t#p1113017
I had to make a new account because I forgot the details for the old one.
So just to update you all, unfortunately the judge dismissed our appeal although he did accept that our relationship was genuine.
Prior to the hearing I found out I was pregnant thus this was ignored and our barrister determined that the refusal was extremely harsh and that there were several grounds on which I should have been granted leave to remain.
The judge was extremely selective when looking at the evidence and determined that I should go back to Argentina and my partner should come with me. I mean I think that is outrageous given the fact that mental illness doesn't only require medication but also holistic treatment. The Home Office representative made it out as though as long as there are pills available it should be fine. It's not all about pills, the pills don't fix the problem.
My partner has been extremely depressed, he hasn't been coping well and I fear another breakdown might be on its way
.On the other hand, miraculously, I'm 14 weeks pregnant and the baby is doing great. In addition, my partner has been granted Personal Independence Payment and is now considered disabled
We have now applied for permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal although I can see that this is going to drag on forever.
I don't know what will happen really, I thought I had a really good chance and there was no way they would refuse us but they keep saying I could easily go back to Argentina and start my life again over there.
I can't really go back, I can't leave my partner and he is in no condition to go there and start a new life. The Home Office have already caused a lot of psychological damage and I fear he's getting worse because of it. He feels like giving up on a daily basis and quite frankly I really am struggling big time as I'm pregnant and it's becoming mentally exhausting.
He can't stay away from his family, losing his father was what triggered his mental illness and I don't want to imagine what losing his mother and being all the way in Argentina will do to him. He can't get on a plane anymore, he can't drive anymore and hardly ever goes out.
What can I do? What are my options? My solicitor said that in the event everything gets refused we can just go for a fresh application on the basis of my British child.
Thank you very much in advance
