Hm well, it does make me nervous as my fiancé will be entering the UK without me by her side (I will get back 1 day later) so I can't do any form of talking or support in case of problems. I don't feel like we're doing anything wrong, it is definitely not a marriage of convenience but one out of pur...

In the UK you need to go to a "designated registry office" in order to "give notice" and request your wedding ceremony. We have completed this step. In order to complete that step they also require passports etc. So my question is whether this is logged somehow so that UKBA can s...

Good news - we have given notice for our marriage next year a few months ago. We soon have a trip abroad on the agenda which is the reason I'm updating this thread again. We'll be going away on the same flight but returning on different flights, she will get back 1 day before I do. What I'm worried ...

I've lived in the UK for 3 years now, and am only registered on the electoral roll. Apart from that I've never been told to registered anywhere being an EU-national living & working in the UK I thought that wouldn't be necessary.. Would it be beneficial to register somewhere?

When you get married, ask for a couple of extra original "copies" of the marriage certificate. It is nice if you can carry one with you when ever you travel, without having to worry about it getting trashed when you travel. It provides an insurance policy when read in conjuction with http...

If you are employed at any job, or self employed in a real way, or a student or self sufficient or even a job seeker, then your wife has a right to be in the UK with you. Self employed is fine, as long as it is real and effective self employment. That means you have to be doing something that is or...

Hi

A change of the situation again.

I may be on the brink of losing my current employment contract.

It could be the case that I will be either:
* self-employed
or
* employed for a foreign (EU) employer

during our time of marriage.

Does this have any impact on requesting a RC for my future wife?

Your married! spouse is entitled to do pretty much the same thing as you in the UK. So she can work, come and go, study, etc... Getting a Residence Card is strictly optional for her, but is very useful for proving she has a right to work. It is best for her to apply for a RC. To come back at this p...

We're 100% confident and totally in love - it is soonish but I'm certain we would take this step within the next 3 years regardless of the pressure that the visa is putting on us. So it does make sense for me to also apply for an EEA1 to speed up her process.. what does she need EEA2 or EEA3? This i...

Another thing I have looked at is registering civil partnership in The Netherlands which is a form of commitment close to marriage but not actual marriage. I reckon it would allow us to be & live together anywhere in the EU. You are male? She is female? If those are the facts I am not sure I ag...

Personally I wouldn't like to live in Reading but around Slough there are much better alternatives. Ascot, Virginia Water or Windsor may be a bit posh / expensive but are excellent areas within commuting time from Slough. Other suitable places could be Wokingham or Bracknell.
