She really did not say any definite. She did not sound sound convincing. She said you can't really change that now. We'll put in the application and see what they come up with. But I have consulted another solicitor who is well convinced that the actual interpretation is that the marriage should hav...

My solicitor did mention that. She actually showed me a letter from HO confirming that they sometimes carry out checks to confirm treaty rights status. But what about the duration of the marriage being less than 3yrs before Initiation of proceedings.
