....A few pleasantries were exchanged, an oath was taken, and half an hour later they came out with the three bits of paper - Certificate of nationality, Certificate of non-objection and Declaration of Honour. All for the pricey/princely sum of approx. £110 - I think the British have caught an idea...
You need to live in the UK for three years before applying for naturalisation, I'm afraid... For the time being, if you apply for a spouse visa for the UK, you should immediately be granted "indefinite leave to enter" (ILE) - ie settlement with no restrictions - because you have been marri...
But as you indicated earlier, a translation is needed whether you use Article 7 or not, so the cost of it is hardly an additional expense. I note that the fee is for " Transmitting a record of a marriage under the local law to the appropriate Registrar General in accordance with Article 7(1) of...
And I iterate that £23.50 isn't a bad premium to pay for the assurance of always being able to get a copy of a marriage certificate from within the UK. And I say this having had the experience of having to comfort people who were unable to wind up a deceased parent's estate because they couldn't loc...
I tend to agree - I hope it's not common, but I can remember a case on another board where they delayed the foreign spouse's application for a few months for similar reasons to your own, and got refused because (among other things) they weren't living together as husband and wife....
The other benefit offered by Article 7 is that you can always get further copies from the GRO. IMO, whether to do it depends on how likely you are to lose the original document, and how confident you are that you'll be able to obtain further copies from the original issuing office, from several thou...
AIUI, there isn't a four year requirement, except in relation to married couples who have lived together for four years outside UK . So far as I know, the present position is that, if you have lived together outside UK for less than four years, you simply get the probationary two year visa which you...
You might like to ask the Embassy about depositing your Moroccan marriage certificate with the General Register Office - it doesn't affect the validity, but it might be useful in the future - it means that you can get further copies with GRO authentication in the future - probably a bit easier to co...
Well, if one of the parents is British Citizen, a child will be a British Citizen by Descend. That means is you child carries on to live outside of the UK his/her children will not be British Citizens. Alrearnatively, if the child is back in the UK (VAF2 application form - LTE for 2 years --- then ...
You'll need to approach the Embassy of your home country for a passport, I think. Then, as I said above, "I think you'll need either to apply in UK before you go, on Form FLR(O) here, or apply for a visa for him in whichever country you're planning on travelling to... "
There's certainly no requirement for you to live together before marriage - think what fun "Colonel Angry of Tunbridge Wells" would have with a law that required people to live together out of wedlock....
What has Mumbai Airport got to do with it? And why (following up your earlier post) does it might OP have to go as well - given that he's already said he intends to travel with his mother due to her health?
According to " Diplomatic Service Procedures - Entry clearance Volume 1 - General instructions " a two-room flat (not necessarily two BEDroom) would not be considered as overcrowded for three people provided the rooms (excluding bathroom & Spam) each exceed 50 square feet. Unless these...
Since 1983, children born in UK are not British citizens unless they have a British citizen parent, or a parent "settled" in UK (eg with indefinite leave to remain). So it is to be hoped that your child will have the citizenship of your home country....
I think you'll need either to apply in UK before you go, on Form FLR(O) here, or apply for a visa for him in whichever country you're planning on travelling to...
