Hello guys,
I hope you are doing well.
I will preface this by saying that I am Muslim, hence why the dates below are so close together. Islamic tradition prohibits pre-marital relationships so there you go. I had a arranged marriage.
I am a EU national with settled status in the UK. I met my wife through video call in July, got engaged in the same month and married a few months later over Zoom through a shariah council and obtained a marriage certificate (which is not issued by an authority, only by the imam in the council). My wife is an Afghan national living in Saudi Arabia with a residency permit.
I want to get a visa or permit for my wife so she can live with me in the UK permanently.
I have looked at some of the requirements to apply for the EUSS FP or EAA Permit and legally, I don't satisfy these requirements:
* Having met at least once before 2021
* Having a relationship that is legally recognised (I believe UK law does not recognise it a relationship until you've met
* Having married before 2021 (I don't think UK law recognises a video call marriage)
If Saudi removes flight suspensions and I can visit her in 2021 and get a marriage certificate through a ceremony at the embassy, can I apply for the EUSS FP or the EAA Permit? If not, is the spouse visa the only other way?
