I just found this on the Home Office BA website: The offices cannot consider any cases that are not covered by the immigration rules , are complex or made by someone who has a poor immigration history. These applications must be posted to the address given on the application form. When you apply for...

Does that mean I just cancel the appointment, or do I lose the money?

I guess my other question is: is my application considered straightforward with overstaying in my background? Or will I need to send it in vis post? I've read somewhere that they can only do straightforward applications in-house on the same day. I already have an appointment though - just don't want...

Hello all I have been on here in the past and find that you give good advice. So was wondering if you could help me. After receiving my fiancée visa, we now find ourselves planning a wedding...no rest. At least it's fun planning now! I will be getting married on 11 December and I have already booke...

Hello I have posted on here quite some time ago, and you al helped me a lot. Was wondering if you could help me with some other questions I had. I am filling out my UK fiancee application and I have ran into a few question which I'm not too sure about. Travel dates? Would this be my return plane tic...

COA allows you to marry, but doesn't change the fact that you can't switch from visitor visa to spouse from the UK. As Wanderer wisely asked...are you both over 21? :roll: Yes we are both over 21 - I don't know why that would matter either way. So if I go over on a visitor visa - I will have to lea...

You would still have to return to the US after the marriage to apply for a spouse visa. You can't switch from visitor to spouse from within the UK. So what about the COA, I couldn't switch from that to a spousal visa? And from what it looks like you are saying...you can get married on a visitors vi...

Hello This is my first time on here, but thought it was a wonderful way to share information and be helpful and positive toward one another. I am an American wanting to marry a British man. We met each other while I was living in the UK on my father's work permit. Now my father isn't working there a...
