When did they change it? It looks pretty up to date. You have to 16 days notice to the registry office and they will ask non EU/EEA citizens to prove they're in the UK legally before they register it. I can't see them registering people on tourist visas with all the fake marriages the HO is trying to stop.Casa wrote:The information given by t123456789 is out of date. The requirement to notify the Home Office and apply for a Certificate of Approval to marry was removed some time ago. In fact the link that t123456789 has given is for notification to an approved Registry office.
As usual, MPH80 has given excellent advice
Yes - no problem for the financial requirements. I understand there is a cost, but why £1600 in 6 months - is that if we apply for financee visa straight away?Final question for you - do you meet the financial requirements for a fiancee visa for when the time comes - and can you find the 1600 quid you're going to need for the two applications within 6 months?
Yes this was my concern, that they will think he will over-stay. My daughter has met him and known him for the same length of time as me.MPH80 wrote:If they've met him - they can sponsor him (actually - anyone can sponsor - but it'll be considered much more secure coming from someone who knows him well). But if you then also say he's your boyfriend - it might look concerning.
I understand what you are saying, but we always want the now and I really want him to see England meet the rest of the family. What would you advise to put in the letter that he is my boyfriend rather than "friend" and that we have known each other for 18 months and he is coming to meet other family members etc? I am wondering if the immigration officer would consider it "untruthful" if I just said friend. (I will have to prime him for the interview as well and make sure that he doesn't say he is not my boyfriend for fear of being refused!)MPH80 wrote: As I said before - be truthful - if he's your boyfriend say so - it might reduce the odds on his tourist visa, but it raises the odds of the fiancee visa later on.
