marriage

Post by Kate1986 » Sat Mar 08, 2014 7:54 pm

Hello,

I am a non EU, nor am I a UK nationale, currently living in the UK as a student.
My boyfriend is French, also living and working here, and we are thinking about getting married here in the UK.
Can we get married here in the UK? What will be my status after we are married? will I be able to stay here in the UK and work after my Tier-4 expiers?

I would appreciate any answer or reference to another place where I could find answers to these questions.

Thank you very much!

Kate

Thank you for that but I could not really find an answer in there.. since non of us is a UK citizen..
As I mentioned, I am non EU/UK, and he has a French passport currently employed here. Can we get married in the UK? Will this marriage be recognized?

Thank you

Yes and yes.

Basically as he is a EU national he's fully entitled to live and work in the UK as if he were a UK citizen himself. Not quite that simple but as far as marriage etc is concerned go ahead...

Thank you very much for the answer!
At the moment I am in the UK on a student visa (until the beginning of 2015), is that somehow a problem? Do we still need a Fiance visa even though we are both here legally? Who Should we turn to in order to go ahead with it?
