You can as well get married in any Church of Scotland, if you dont get your COA before the wedding date. Its the same thing as getting married in a Church of England(Anglican) You might also receive your COA soon, I received mine in august after about 10 weeks. So dont press the panic button yet as ...

Like what daddy already advised, if you've been here since you were 14, it depends on how old you are now. You may be eligible for ILR under the the ''long residence rule''. DL or ''outside the rules'' application are not a quick option to regularisation, it could take a while to get it sorted. Dont...

My best mate returned home in September to apply a spouse visa and I supported him, though he's still there but I believe he'll be back soon. In my opinion, the case refered above was a very strong one and I am not surprised that he's successful but the speed of the success was amazing. I am also an...

Congratulations Khuddar. I'm really happy for you and your family and pray for my friend to receive good news soon, it's been 11 weeks.

I wish you and your family the best.

These are your words in quote 1. take your bags and go to where ever you came from 2. audacity to ask us for advise 3. you are such a disgrace. 4. You must be out of your mind I dont think I should relegate myself to your ''class'' by using your kind of terms and words but all I'm saying is you have...

Dude, you admit to being a criminal, take your bags and go to where ever you came from. RULES are RULES for everyone what makes you so special that you can break them and then have the audacity to ask us for advise. I feel sorry for your wife and children that you are such a disgrace. And what make...

who is in pakistan, to come to the uk after we get married

Casa, the applicant is in Pakistan and from the OP's comment it seems they are getting married in Pakistan.

Spouse visa requirement

I would think about this properly and seek legal help if I'm in your position(or should I say I'm in your position but different in details). Never claim asylum, and no criminal record. Pay more attention to Casa and Elena's posts(going home means your asylum claim was false and the prison sentence ...

am from uganda, and i came here 2005 i have been geting support from my partner and we have two kids Did you use any form of deception? If you haven't then yes you have a good chance of getting a spousal visa I think Deception is also forgiven for spouse visa, according to 320(7B & C) A criminal re...

I think its everywhere, it depends on who's handling your application and the application itself in my opinion. While Davenice got his/her visa in 3 weeks from Lagos, Nigeria, my mate has submitted since the first week of September in Abuja, Nigeria and still hasn't got his visa, no information what...

details of employers' responsibilities to check the entitlement to work in the United Kingdom of their prospective and, in some cases, current employees. Employer are not checking whether she's still living with her husband or not, employer will be checking the authenticity of the documents provide...

As the COA rule applies to all Non EEA who wishes to get married in the UK, I would say ''YES''. Not really sure that being recognised as an unmarried partner of a Brit and got a visa in that capacity, it doesn't make sense to me that you should need one but the rules applies to all Non EEA's except...

Congratulations and I wish you guys all the best.

Are you from the same country as your wife and what about your council tax documents?

If you have any other information that you know could help your application and hasn't been covered by the application form. You can enter in that section.

If you say NO, there would be questions on your previous sponsorship as a cousin. In my opinion, you should say YES and I dont think it should be a problem as cousins are allowed to marry each other in Pakistan. The problem is really on the previous application where you claimed to be cousins. To ha...

See help need regarding fiancee visa

it's that he isn't actually related to her but she was previously granted a visitor visa (after appeal) on the basis that she was sponsoring him as a cousin. :?: :?: :!: :!: Yeah! that was deception, which could become a serious issue if it comes to the ECO's discovery. Sponsoring someone(previousl...

Yeah Casa, thats what I thought. If he's from a country like Pakistan where cousins do marry each other. The whole thing would look like she sponsored him to the UK(previously) as a cousin which they were (on paper) and they later marry each other as the customs allows in Pakistan(dont know where he...

What's his nationality? I asked because cousins do marry each other in countries like Pakistan. So it might not be a problem at the end of the day.

My freind wants to inform her employer that technically, she is now living in the UK illegally. Is this the case?

No! I dont think so.

UKBA might not even do anything about it until the end of her 2 year probationary(Spouse) visa.

That question has been answered somewhere else on this forum. You on ILR and claiming benefits would have no effect on your BC.

As Sushdmehta already advised. Typing in BLOCKS is rude.

Well said, Mr Rusty. Some overzealous Officers do go beyond the line, looking for fraud where it's obvious there's none.

A Non-EEA spouse or partner of an EEA of an EEA National would obtain a EEA Family Permit before coming to the UK.
