Re: UK Married to US citizen - Move to US

Thanks again for the reply. The bit about outlet son was a surprise to both of us. Had no idea that even though he was born in the Uk, due to moms dual nationality that he can automatically apply for a US passport. Yes the general idea was to look for jobs after immigration visa was approved. Do you...

It seems it is not needed if your partner is already in the UK on a different visa which is over 6 Months. If you get married in church you dont need to obtain the C...
