What is their dream?

Many families live like this. In italy are emigrants from eastern europe which are working and sending money home.
And this is going since years like this, about 10-20.

But has secondary effects, kids are living without parents, women have divorced. Other made some money and invested home and went back home.

So depends on the reason why they are doing this.

The question what are they winning acting like this, is a good reason?
swammi,

you comments always worthable

the reason is the guy dont like the society and its un justice and corruption where you cannot get job without corruption on merit basis

so he decided to live and work for a while in uk and might be call her back to uk or as u said earn money and then go back home
swammi,

what is his dream?

that guy is qualified in engineering and like travelling freeedom

so he wanan stay for next 3 years to qualify for nationality and then wanna go back or else in europe to do his own field job easily

bcz he belong form india ,so he cannot travel freely with indian passport
Indian engineer.I have no ideea how competent he is.
Do I understood right , is he traveling with the job around the world?

I do not know the law related to imigration of indians in the UE.
I will tell you something.
In the UE engineers from eastern europe, or asia are usual hired to travel in the world because UE native are avoiding this. They prefer to stay at home with their families and enjoy life. There are people with spirit of adventure too, but not so many as required. So if you search deeper you will find anounces like "we hire expats for working abroad", this people are suposed to accept everything for some money

So to find a job and settle down in UK or other english language country is not easy for him but not impossible.
He need a plan, step by step how to do it, else...after working few years, he will be in the same situation like today.

Or he makes some money and opens a business where is possible.

But first of all he has to clarify if his wife would adapt to the life in Europe or else. May be she do not want or, is not able..and then everything is more complicated.
swammi,

you have said very true indeed,look like you have grab on this

i think he is convinced and get some insight into this

thanks mate
Your friend's plight and story is a difficult one, yet with noble intentions. Yes it is difficult living in one country while one's soul-mate or partner lives in another country.

For me it is about love, not money, not freedom. My fiance is in another country to me. I can only visit her once or twice each year. We are working on applying for a visa that will allow us to be together.

I am happy to move to her country, but she wants to move to my country. So this is what we are applying for her to do. There are always ways to achieve such goals, and having lived in the UK, it is no different there to here where I live now.

I think that your friend could find a way if he really wanted to find a way. And the exchange rate between the currencies means that he can send a lot of money to his family, relatively speaking for little money in the UK.

In the UK, I thought that if a man is working there, he can have his family live with him.

Surely documentation for his wife can be found to meet the needs of UK immigration. It must exist somewhere in India. He would have needed such documentation to be able to live and work in the UK himself. Unless he is an illegal immigrant, and working illegally and this is why he is not earning good money as an engineer.

I had a friend who was working in the Uk and he was able to bring his whole family with him, on his work visa. If he loves his wife, and he is an engineer (that is a good job that pays quite well in the UK) then I do not understand why he cannot have his whole family live with him in the UK, like my friend did when he was working there for years on a work visa.

My friend then moved to the USA and again, he was able to take his whole family with him to live there as well.

So I am not sure why he cannot have his family come and live with him in the UK.

My fiance is also having to provide much documentation to my government, but this does not worry us. We both are doing what must be done for us to be together.

But my previous comment still stands. Love is not bothered by the sacrifice it must make for another. So if he loves her, he will do whatever it takes. Even if this means living in a system that he does not like. And does this relate to the cast system in India?
halvo,

you bet again
your comments had soild backgorunds

life in uk is now completely different and expensive specially last 4 years form rent to foods and transport

you are right love in condiotnal and every thing should be done for person you live

he is not doing his own field engineering job,,,he is legal and doing legal work just casual job in security

he learning just few undered pounds

uk immigration is compleetly changed on family route now ,,you ahve to show 20 k for each memeber now to sponsor and benefits are capped etc

he will get pr in 2014

and yes cast system and umemployment is problem in india

so these are things halvo

do you have some thing between all this?

thanks
He can try the US diversity Visa for 2015 by applying in October 2014. 55.000 visas are allowed annually according to the applicants occupations.

I have known several people in this type of situation. Usually the man who is away from his family ends up with a gf in the new location.
Difficult choice, take care of the family financially but ruin the marriage or stay with the family in poverty for the rest of your life.
There is something to be said for holding off on marriage and kids until a couple is financially ready.
well said jilll
