I was wondering about this and just about to post a topic about this. So does it mean that after 9th May as the COA is being abolished, that any migrant can marry in the UK?

I dont think you can make somebody get deported. However if they have broken their Visa or Import conditions then you can report that to the UK Border agency. My Partners ex tried to do the same thing when they split up years ago and she was told that he had to of broken his conditions to be here to...
