We are also expecting our first child next month. As such Im desperate to put a compelling application in and for it to be approved.
If he is not travelling out of the UK, then I'm just wondering why does he need to apply for settlement? He is legally in the UK without any conditions, if he had never applied for leave. Marriage does not require settled status.vinny wrote:If he has never applied for any leave, then he is legally in the UK (with no conditions).
Just want to add on this piece that settlement is required for marriage. I think that information is rubbish. You can get marriage in this country without being settled. You only need to be here legally. Moreover, I got information from my local council that all they require from you is your proof of ID, among other stuff like proof of address et al. They don't even need your International passport so how would they know whether you are settled or not?vinny wrote:Consider holidays in the UK for now.
Ask these councils to give you a reference to the legislation stating that marriages requires settlement status. I don't think that they will be able to do so.
Don't see how his nationality changes anything. Am sure what Vinny probably meant was "what are/were his parents nationality? However, he doesn't need a passport to have a nationality, as they are only travel documents. If you don't hope to travel outside a country, then you don't need a passport.diamonds wrote:I don't know what nationality he holds, as he doesn't have a passport, he was bork here and uses his birth certificate and NI card for proof
