Are you now legally divorced from your first wife?

If the law in Pakistan permits it, you can marry your fiancee when she is only 17, but you will be unable to submit a spouse settlement visa until she reached the age of 18.

She cannot apply for a spouse visa until she is 18 years old.

I think it is fine to marry her before 18 in Pakistan though.

No need to inform the HO if your wife is not in the UK.

Thanks CR001

I have Computerised Nadra divorce certificate and Letter to my wife initiate the divorce.

These 2 documents are enough to attach when I will apply visa for my spouse?

I am not familiar with Pakistan divorce procedures or documents.

I have another question if someone can comment on this please.

The age different between me and my expected wife is 17 years. Will it be problem of having Spouse Visa. I have seen few very old threads where case workers have refused spouse visas due to Age differences > 10 years!

Here is one thread as an example.

http://www.immigrationboards.com/immigr ... 15574.html

I will be thankful if someone can guide me which documents should i arrange to prevent for refusal.

You shouldn't be refused due to an age difference as long as you can prove that the relationship is genuine, which is the case for all spouse visa applications.
