She's my fiance but we don't want to have to expedite the wedding just to have her stay here with me.  I'm on a Type V and will be here for another year or two.  We're constantly traveling outside the country so overstaying isn't an option.

How about her signing up at a Portuguese school and staying on a student visa?  Possible?  Or am I f'd?

My company is "doing their best" to help out with this but have proved to be incompetent yet again.  This isn't an easy place to live and I often question myself why I am here.

Any ideas?

Thanks Sven.

Is it true that the stable union app takes a year to process and it isn't guaranteed?  Are costs reasonable?
