You can marry anytime &anywhere ,there is no issue.If she can't go back home as obvious from that she is claiming asylum then it is likely you don't have to go her country for getting married.You can marry here &get her status more likely discretionary leave or human rights leave if she is refused asylum but she can't go back then.But if she is recognized as a refugee then obviously you have to marry here or somewhere else but not her home country.If she is refused asylum &she goes back home and you marry her there ,there may be a long way to bring her here due to claiming asylum.Alanran wrote: ↑Fri May 15, 2020 10:45 pmAm starting new topic .
Me girlfriend , has arrived UK on tourist visa , after that she apply for asylum .
She have done her second interview October last year and still waiting for the HO decision.
My question is , can we married ( I am British citizen )? And if yes, is that will help her to stay in UK with me ?
We were thinking that if her asylum application been approved then we get married immediately, if not then she can go back to her country and then I will go to her country we get married there , then I come back to uk and apply for her as spouse of British citizen ( which I know it’s long path )
But if we can get married now and that will help her to stay in uk with me then that will be great .
Please note that me and her we don’t live together yet .
Thank you
Guys , moderators ..Alanran wrote: ↑Sun May 17, 2020 6:41 pmMarrying in the UK won't change her immigration status. If she is able to return to her home country to marry there, the HO may well take the view that the asylum application was a false representation of the true facts.
Thank you ,
In case the HO refuse her asylum application then how we can get married ? The HO will refuse to give her permission to married as in this case she is staying in uk without visa ( assuming the asylum bern refuses ) .
That’s really sad .. any option that we get married and she stay with me in UK legally??THO wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2020 8:55 amI guess the answer depends entirely on how strong her asylum case is? What is she running away from, is her life in danger in her home country or does she just not want to live there?
Is her country one where the UK will consider asylum applications from and not considered safe?
If her claim is refused, I guess she will be sent home and then you will need to marry her there, but as has been pointed out, you will need to prove it is a real relationship, and based on previous attempt to stay in the UK the HO will likely draw the conclusion that she is marrying you to circumvent the rules.
Starting a new topic doesn't change the advice you have already been given about the process to marry in the UK.Casa wrote: ↑Sun May 17, 2020 1:20 pmIn order to marry in the UK you will have to give notice at a Home Office designated Registry Office. The Registrar is then legally bound to notify the Home Office who can then extend the notification period from 28 to 70 days in order to interview you both (separately), should they choose to do so.
Registry Offices are currently closed due to the COVID-19 lockdown.

Thank you my friend , the problem is :Zerubbabel wrote: ↑Sun Jun 07, 2020 4:02 pmHello
I married an overstayer. She was in the UK for a while.
When we went to our solicitor, he told us we can get married but there is a risk that the Home Office may intervene and detain her. It was a risk to take. We had his number on short call just in case things get sour and we need an urgent legal representation.
We went to the Registrar and they were actually kind to her. No direct questions such as "are you illegal in the UK?" but the lady asked to see the passport and turned all pages then asked if there is any permit with that, we just answered "no" and the conversation about that topic stopped there. She then started filling the forms for us and confirming our personal details (name, address, name of parents, dob... etc.).
To the day of our wedding we were scarred and planing: "what if?".
We went through the wedding without any issue but we couldn't fully enjoy the day to be honest with you.
However, I am EEA national. Which means once we got married, it took us just a further form to send to get her a 5 year EEA FM residence. As a British, even if you risk it all and opt for a marriage, you may get it. They don't always send a go team when someone is an overstayer. But again, as a British, the certificate of marriage won't allow an easy immigration solution.
The person has to go home with the certificate and apply for a visa provided you meet the revenue threshold and have the accommodation space.
Why do believe you have to wait a couple of years to apply for FLR m if you are able to marry???believe the first step is we getting married in the register office and then we both happy to wait couple of years to apply for FLR(FM)
I don’t know , that what I heard that we need to prove that we live together for 2 years !! I might be wrong , beside as I explain I am not sure if we can get married as her passport with the HO and she have only ID provided from the HO and am not sure if the register office can accept this
Nonsense. For a first visa there is no requirement to prove two years of living together. Stop listening to people who don't know the rules.Alanran wrote: ↑Sun Jun 07, 2020 8:23 pmI don’t know , that what I heard that we need to prove that we live together for 2 years !!

She can request a copy of her passport.
