I am writing in relation to obtaining some legal advice. I am a British Citizen currently residing in the UK and I plan to get married to my long term partner who is Jamaican. We both lived in the US together ( for 5 years) until I returned back to the UK. My partner was then deported from the US. Prior to being deported he served a three year custodial sentence (drug offence) in the US and was then deported back to Jamaica is July 2012. My partner has not committed any other offence. He is a good man but did a stupid thing out of desperation that was out of character. We have a 7 year old daughter together and my concern is the amount of time she is missing with her father. I wanted to enquire as to whether my partner could visit / reside in the UK (my partner has never been to the UK before) and if it is a possibility the best way to go about this.
