Also... try not to mention your situation re:residency or citizenship to your friends/ acquaintances over in that country... including your lawyer. (some may turn a blind eye but this is against the law) I know of someone who was stripped of her residency status and she thinks one of her friends dobbed her in, not her partner. Once the immigration is notified, you won't have any hard evidence to support your situation and they won't sympathize... since it's so hard to detect the 'real' M from 'fake'. Try to keep the residency/citizenship detail (ie your H sponsoring you although you're separated) off public forums like this as well Piano, it's just not worth it... be really cautious with this, protect yourself and your baby!
