Doesn't have to be married, a de facto partnership would get him the same rights.

As long as you been together here for 2 years I believe.

Mine isn't really a hunch. I was talking earlier in the season to some friends about him potentially going to Wigan. These friends have links to agents and the club. And they were adamant he wouldn't get a visa. I hope he does.

If his agent and the club were 'adamant' he wouldn't get a visa, why even bother going through the motions of a transfer deal? Just wastes everyone's time, surely. To me the fact that a deal has been done indicates that the people actually in a position to know about these things think a visa can be obtained.

This brings back memories of when we had to arrange a civil partnership ceremony for Moa and Luaki to secure there visa's

You are clearly up to speed with the current border controls around people applying for visas with convictions then! Rangi has a visa to play with Cas this was obtained before his conviction IIRC if he moves clubs then =if is visa is like the one Potter has it only allows him to play at Cas, He will have to get a new visa for Hull. I suppose time will tell if hes got a specific type of visa he maybe OK but the story broke days ago about a deal been done so why no official announcement? I'll let you work it out.

As I've said before, if it's linked to a work permit, Brent Webb's visa only allows him to play for Leeds, Keith Lulia's only allows him to play for Bradford, etc etc. If a player wants to move to another club via the work permit route, they need a new visa. Unless you can get the new visa by the premium service from UKBA, it can take weeks, so maybe there'll be no official announcement until then and maybe he's coming for next season after all. We've had our fingers burnt before.

Fwiw. He has a child, To a long term gf, Surely if he married her, He would be allowed to stay and work in the country ?

Chris28 is an employee of UKBA, he has clearly stated, the stipulations required for Chase to move to Hull FC.

The conviction in 2011, has no bearing ,IF it was, he would be not allowed back in the country in 2011 after his court case.

The only thing Chase needs to do, is to amend his change of employer to Hull FC.

Also,he could state changes in his application, eg He is now a parent of a UK citizen, (coupled with the child's mother is also a UK citizen.), no Government would deny a working visa, to a parent who has a UK born child.

Its possible, to get a same day service for a fee, but that is purely dependant , if the UKBA office has available appointments .

IMO- It will just take time - no dramas.

If it was that simple Adam Pearson wouldn't be telling you it's a problem.

I hope it goes through. I hope it goes through before Friday. I fear it won't though.
