They may extend your notification period from 28 days to 70 days before the wedding can take place. During this time they could interview you both to determine whether the relationship is genuine. The questions are likely to be about your everyday lives, personal questions such as birthdays, where you met, how you spend your time together. All questions that a genuine couple would be expected to know about each other.

thanks casa for you reply regarding the question have know her for 4year now but during that period i was still married to my ex. so is it okay to mention we started dating after i file in for divorce to be on a safe side.

[Casa]

No. It's always better to tell the truth. If you don't, you could easily be caught out further down the line. If you say that the relationship has only recently begun following your divorce it could appear that you're marrying because her visa is about to expire, not for a genuine reason.

so if i tell them we known each other since 2011 they may ask her if she have met my ex before know if i was married because i know i may be ask how my marriage break down.. so it better we stick with the truth.. just thinking of what to say in case they start asking for past relationship

[Casa]

They aren't there to judge you. They're simply looking for evidence that the relationship isn't a sham. If you both tell the truth about how you met then you won't risk telling a different story.
