Wedding Postponed - New Lockdown - COVID - vida expiring soon

Post by jenjen284 » Sun Nov 01, 2020 12:33 am

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone had any experience from the first UK lockdown that may shed some light on the situation we find ourselves in?

Wedding was booked for November 23. Given the documents that have come out today it looks like this isn’t going to happen (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/new-nationa ... d-funerals).

Fiance visa expires on 23 December. I know last time there was a way you could extend your visa due to weddings impacted by COVID. I assume something similar will be in place this time?!

Anyone know if this was a simple process and whether there is a fee for this extension? I know it may not apply this time but worth finding out...

Off for a troubled nights sleep!

The 2nd proposed locked down will be until 2nd December as it stands now.

Maybe similar temporary concessions gets offered, for which keep an eye on immigration latest news at:

Yes, I know until December 2nd. However my local Registry Office didn’t have any availability for December when we originally booked our date...obviously people may have cancelled. They’re top of my list of people to call.

Thank you for the link to the latest updates - that’s what I was looking for really 😊
