Lol. I am not surprised. But as our relationship is genuine I am sure I won't have problem doing that. Is it possible that the whole process would take about 3 or 4 years (assuming that its not going to be easy; facing VISA refusal and undergoing appeals). Because if I am right, once I have lived in the UK for 9 years and 11 months I can apply for PR anyway.UKBA HUNTER wrote:How can you get duplicate passport because your passport has not been stolen/lost but ukba retain it. If you have your English format of national I'd card then it may help for marriage notice but on the day or before wedding the ukba team may become your guests. In your circumstances proving a genuine marriage will be very hard but not impossible but the level & number of hurdles you have to suffer will give you a taste equal to studying a research degree from university in costs and struggle wise.
Well, I am gay, so I am not quite sure about how the marriage process goes by. I certainly cant return to my country and marry my partner because in India homosexuality is considered offensive and is punishable up to 10 years in prison with fine. I was also wondering if it would be better for me to apply for Asylum instead of marrying my partner as I have issue with the passport. I know the process is a bumpy ride and brutal and I most likely would face refusal. But if the Asylum process itself is going to take the time scale of 3 or 4 years then it should do good. From what I have heard, 100s of homosexuals are awaiting court order in India to be persecuted.UKBA HUNTER wrote:In the present immigration trend 3/4 years process can be possible, non EU national can survive during such period because they mostly become warriors but it mainly depends on EU national support in continuous pattern. You can marry from back home with EU national. Or if you have paper based relationship proof covering 2 years then can apply on unmarried partner basis.
UKBA HUNTER wrote:Forget the old golden days when such stories worked out but now they almost not believe on such stories because they can easily say that why you now start feeling that you are gay after reaching into appeal and why you didn't update with them when you had visa. Moreover, now even in ukba they employ caseworkers from almost all countries who very well assess the applicant circumstances.

As per the fair channel no embassy/consulate can issue replacement duplicate passport unless knowing the true reason like police report if lost/stolen. So, in op's case what reason he need to present? Is that reason he need to tell that ukba retain his passportbadratio wrote:False.PutiniEEA wrote: Don't apply for second/duplicate passport because its a crime
You can be issued a second passport if you request it without concealing the fact that you have one already. For example, if you are a business traveller who needs to visit countries that are in conflict or incompatibility with each other, e.g. Israel and Iran/Lebanon/Syria/Iraq or if you are a very frequent business traveller and need to get a new visa issued in an embassy which might hold your passport for a long time, which would impede your travel otherwise. You'd have to convince the passport office of your country to get it tho.
It doesn't apply in this gentleman's case but I thought I'd shed some light on it.

I thought getting married in a church meant that you don't have to marry at a registry office? I am a bit confused here.Casa wrote:The requirements to give notification of the marriage at an approved Registry Office are still the same, even if you then marry in a Church of England
I have read else where that if in an illegal status the best alternate option is to marry your partner in the Church on England? And that this has been misused by a lot of people? Also read that the Church places a bann for 3 weeks to see if there is any objection against the wedding. Whats this all about then?Casa wrote:No it doesn't. If you are getting married in any religious building you will still have to give notice of marriage to the Registry office in the district where you live. This must be at a designated Registry Office.

So what could I do in my case as my passport is with Home Office due to my appeal?Casa wrote:The banns are read in the church where you will marry, three Sundays consecutively. Anyone in the congregation has the right to object to the marriage if there is just cause. Regardless of where the wedding will take place you will need to give notification of the marriage in a Home Office designated Registry Office, as I've posted previously.
Previously, permission to marry for foreign nationals without settled status had to be applied for with the Home Office, unless the marriage was taking place in a Church of England. This was called a Certificate of Approval (COA). This requirement has now been removed, but stringent checks have now been introduced.

I am on an appeal process at the moment and as I have stated earlier my passport is with home office. So I wouldn't be able to provide documents for section B and C.Casa wrote:Have a read through this check list from Leeds.gov and see if you're able to provide an alternative. They ask for one box from each section to be ticked. It should be a standard requirement.
