Casa wrote:No. You will give notice to marry with the Registrar and they will then notify the Home Office. The Home Office will then contact you if they want to interview you and there is a high chance that they will do so as it will be obvious from the information provided by the Registrar that you no longer have a valid visa.
Have you been living together for a minimum of 2 years? If so, I believe your best chance may be to submit a FLR(FP) application under the 'parent of a child' route as an unmarried partner. Otherwise, without an application under consideration, you may be asked to leave the UK before you are able to marry. It may be wise to seek legal advice.
Bear in mind that you earnings won't be considered as you are not legally permitted to work and your employer could face a fine of £10,000.

Others may be able to advise on your right to appeal if they issue a notice of removal. Apart from paying for good legal advice, money won't get you out of the situation. It may seem harsh, but your 'contribution' won't be taken as a positive factor as currently you are working illegally.
In worst case scenario u could be detained or they put u on signing ( reporting to a immigration center) so when your removal papers r ready they will remove u back to america.candrews8 wrote:Casa wrote:Without the 2 years co-habitation I don't have a solution.

Any suggestions on what they may ask/what may happen at the Home Office interview?
Sorry for butting in, but what do you mean by this?drinver wrote:Also you were not entitled to use the NHS after your visa expired. So if you didnt pay for your medical care during pregnancy/birth/post natal, it would be worth contacting GPs and hospitals to check and pay any outstanding debt.
This doesn't apply to your situation. The OP's student visa has expired which means they have no free access to the NHS. The NHS surcharge enables you to use NHS facilities without restriction.coco__nutty wrote:Sorry for butting in, but what do you mean by this?drinver wrote:Also you were not entitled to use the NHS after your visa expired.

I am currently on a FLR(M) visa (extension), paid for the first time for the NHS surcharge as per the new legislation/rules.
I am due to give birth in spring next year, will this not be free for me as a foreign national or will the surcharge pay for it?
I find the surcharge a bit of a sham, to be honest, as I have lived here for almost 10 years, working for about 9 (also paying fees for University studies), so been contributing NI. Not needed to use NHS once and always use private dentists.
And here I am now needing to pay a 'surcharge' as well? This is obviously to do with the influx of European immigrants coming to the UK to abuse the free health system and nothing the government can do about it, except for milk those they can.
Sorry, a slightly off-topic rant, but would appreciate if you could clarify regarding hospital fees.
Thanks,
