The first step for two people in love?

[Leonavorona]

Dear Forum:)

I’m writing in the hope that you can help clarify what options my boyfriend and I have.
My boyfriend is a naturalized danish citizen and I am a Ukranien citizen.

We met more than 4 years ago dancing, and have been in a serious relationship for the last year. We still live in each our country, but we are now so in love that we are trying to find the best way forward to live together.

My boyfriend has a child in denmark so he is hoping we can be together here.

So here are our questions that we hope you can help with:

Is our best option to marry? And if so, how should we proceed to do this to best fit udlændinge styrelsens requirements.

Are there any other realistic options?

If we get pregnant, does that make things easier or harder for us to be together in denmark?

What kind of job can I get in denmark, if any?

Is there a network of Russian speakers on this forum or in denmark I can connect with?

What other advice can you give us?

Kind regards

Leona

How old are the both of you?

Does your bf have any income? Has he received any social help in the past 3 years?

[Leonavorona]

I just turned 30 and my boyfriend is 39

My boyfriend is musician and doesn’t have a 9-17 job, but he does have income although not big. He received some SU, a year ago but no dagpenge or kontanthjælp.

In that case there should be no problem. You simply get married and apply for a residence permit on grounds of your marriage.

Okay:) Do You have any recommendations on how and where marriage is best? In Denmark or Ukraine or a third place?:)

[skaanebo]

Whichever place is more convenient for you. Mind you an Ukrainian marriage certificate might need to be translated/verified.
