Hi there,
I am from a visa required non eea country (Nigeria) and I got married to my fiancée (Irish but Nigerian by origin as well) on a multiple entry visitors visa. I currently reside in the UK as a student and made my application in the Irish embassy in UK. One month after our wedding in Ireland, I returned to the UK to make my application for the join spouse D visa to join my wife. My wife has been working full time and on no benefit for over 4 years and all her documents are in order. On submitting my application, I was heavily queried by the immigration officer as to why I got married on a visitors visa. He kept on hammering on this issue for a while. I am quite concerned as I called the visa office and informed them,( before getting married), of getting married on a visitors visa. They refereed me to the HSE. On calling the HSE, they mentioned as long as I am in the country legally there is no problem. This is the reason that promoted me to get married on a visitors visa. I am still awaiting the outcome of my application but it is quite sad that I have taken all precaution but this could possibly impact my application. Please any advice if I did anything wrong? and if at all I broke the law.
Many thanks
