Marrying a Mauritian national in UK

Post by sayyad » Sun Dec 09, 2007 2:23 pm

Hi!

I'm a British citizen born in UK. I want to marry a Mauritian girl whom I met recently in UK.

1. Can I marry her in the UK?
2. Or do I have to go to Mauritius to marry her?

If N° 1 is OK, can she obtain a resident visa?

Thanks

Sayyad

What is her current immigration status, i.e. what visa is she on? If she does have valid leave to remain, you would have to apply for a CoA - Certificate of Approval - from the Home Office permitting her (as she is a non-EU national) to marry in the UK.

Follow the guidelines (on HO or UKVISAS website) to find out more about the CoA.
