It's stressful but I think it is almost automatic to get it extended in our situations. I hope it goes smooth for you. I'll update when I get the result of ours, a bit over a week to go...

We haven’t heard anything back yet, neither from the EFM application nor the marriage notice. Got another 2weeks on the 70days notice.

Update: On the very last day of the 28 day notice it got extended to 70, we have given them the things they asked for so now it's a waiting game to see if there will be an interview or a good morning raid. We did file an EEA EFM application so we have something pending now. Will be interesting to se...

Update: We gave notice of intent to marry a few days ago. The registrar was polite and explained all procedures etc. He also confirmed that they will not ask for the passports again. A few interesting things from the chat with him: * They will not ask to see the passports again * Home office has app...

I'm from Germany and she is from Argentina.

I asked a friend who recently got married and they didn't need to show anything on the day but then again they are both British.

British citizens birth certificate (pre 1982) is acceptable as a form of ID if you submit yours if you submit your passport for an application. You can submit a national ID for the non EEA applicant/post the passport just in case after marriage. The registrar WILL refer you on the day you apply for...

Give notice of marriage a day before posting the application and show the registrar original passports on the day of notice they will take the copy of passports and you won’t be required to produce them again. That makes sense, if they make a copy then the originals are not needed at the big day. S...

Hi again, more questions! If we put in an application for FLR(fp) or EEA EFM before giving notice to get married it should in theory “protect” us from being detained during the HO interview as we have a pending application. However, that means we will no longer have access the passports and can’t gi...

Thank you for your reply Casa, They will for sure put us on a 70day period and interview us. I have just seen the advice a few times and was wondering if it maybe lessens the risk of actual detention and makes it more likely with reporting to becket house instead? Can't see why that would be the cas...

Hi,

I have seen posts/advice that before giving notice to marry you should try to have a pending case.
i.e even if you know you don't have enough cohabiting evidence put in an application for an unmarried partner before going down to the registrar.

Why is this?

Hi, I have previously asked roughly the same question but in the forum for family immigration ( here ) but a FLR(fp) case would fall flat on the lack of electricity bills…. I just read that the ECJ ruled that dual nationals can retain their freedom of movement rights. I’m a naturalised British citiz...

Yes, this was the reason we were going for the FLR(fp) application. However for the point nr#2 (If you can prove genuine and subsisting relationship) they demand 2 years of utility bills with both names on them as we all know that renting a cancellable gas pipe together for 2 years is more of a comm...

We spent the day reading horror stories about people getting arrested during wedding ceremonies.... At the end of the day the most important is to spend the first time together with our son without too much stress and I was expecting the FLR(fp) to help with that but it doesn't look likely. So we th...

Thank you both for your replies. Bathanza: I’ll add her to all our bills from today, then at least we got that in two years time if needed. Hopefully we can go down the proper and preferred way of spouse visa from home country before then (9months + 6months). New on forum: As there is a British pare...

After spending the day reading up and hunting down information I can answer my own questions and I thought I would post them here in case anyone else comes across them. 1) Would be a waste of time, the 2-year rule of documentation is set in stone regardless of how long you have actually been living ...

Hi I need some help with an FLR(fp) application and I would be very grateful for any advice. We are applying for the 10-year route as an unmarried partner and I got two questions. Background: I’m British and she is an over stayer since 7 years (entered as tourist). We are relying on the Ex1 exceptio...
