Search for posts I have made that include the word "Maidstone." There are several, and most of them tell you how to get copies of your memoranda of conviction.

Demonstrating extreme hardship is tricky business. I already told you where to go to get an idea of what is involved.
Now, since your fiancee is on welfare at the moment, you have to ask yourself some hard questions. It has already been pointed out to you that the affidavit of support may become an issue, as well as your potential inadmissibilities.
You may all want to go live happily ever after in the US which is fine and dandy, but seriously - what is stopping your fiancee from moving to the UK? Presumably you are currently employed - if your fiancee has not found a job in the US, why do you think you will be more successful? I know that the grass is always greener on the other side - at least until you get there and find that it is just as brown as where you came from - and I am not trying to burst your bubble in any way. But I think a healthy dose of reality is in order. Jobs are not easy to come by in the US at he moment. So you have to ask yourself what is ultimately best for you and your family - especially with a kid involved. US or UK?

And even if living in the UK is not an option (namely because of her mother), it still sounds to me like you have no choice but to get an attorney to help you construct what sounds like it will be a difficult hardship waiver.

But you're right about the priority of the issues. There has been little discussion of why someone who is on welfare in the US fled the horrors of the NHS in Blighty. I'm unsure though that a lawyer is the person I would turn to for professional advice on this particular one.

How much 'better' will the fiance's birth experience be compared to the NHS if she's on welfare?
Fatbrit beat me to it.

My son was delivered in the united states with privately funded healthcare,not anything to do with welfare,she doesnt trust uk hospitals,superbugs,things like that,which she saw in our news.She wanted our son delivered by a specific doctor,in the united states,which is exactly what she got..
It wasnt just the nhs here one of the reasons that she thinks we should move there,she had a bad experience with alot of things in the uk,including the rising crime figures..where she is from there is hardly any crime at all.
As for sponsors,i have cousins and other relatives that are U.S. Citizens who have offered to sponsor me.
Does it have to be my fiancee who sponsors me?Or any U.S. Citizen?

Your fiance has to sponsor you for the actual immigration benefit and file the affidavit of support along with that. If she doesn't meet the requirements then other qualifying people can be joint "financial" sponsors. Check the form.

Why not! If your cousin runs a functioning nanotechnology company and is looking for a nanatechnologist with the requisite PhD, I don't see any problems with his company sponsoring you for a variety of visas. I'm assuming you're qualified, of course. And you've still got those hurdles we discussed previously to overcome, though they fade a little if you go for a non-immigrant visa.

hey, hey now.. sounds like he was asking about financial sponsorship, not petitioning.
OP will get the message, or not, but don't take it personally.
Any US citizen or Permanent Resident, domiciled in the US and financially qualified & willing may be a "Joint Sponsor".

Sorry to jump in with an unrelated dumbass question... but where is the wiki for abbreviations located again? Every now and then I come up against one that I can't figure out...
