Both Tier 4 Marriage in UK

Post by goodman_cj » Mon Mar 21, 2016 5:54 pm

Dear Sir/Madam,

I would like to have any guidance would be appreciated, in my case both of us are having student Tier 4 visa and would like to get married in UK. Im having a 4 years student visa and my partner have 1 year visa.

What are the rules regarding that?

Many Thanks.
Regards,
CJ

You can marry in the UK but as foreign nationals you will have to give notice at a HO designated Registry Office. The Registrar is then legally bound to notify the HO of your intention to marry. They can then extend the notification period from 28 to 70 days in order to interview you both if they choose to do so. However, as neither of you are British nationals (or I assume EU nationals) the interview is unlikely to be necessary.

Many thanks for the clarity. Further on the case, can my partner apply a dependant visa after marriage?

Regards,
CJ

Are you studying a postgraduate course at an HEI?

I was assuming from your length of leave that you are a PhD student, and that you already know you can have dependants in the UK, but you are not sure whether your spouse could switch status within the UK.

If you are not a postgraduate student, then no you cannot have your dependants in the UK anyway, unless you are a government-sponsored student.
