Hey guys,
I recently got married for the second time in Pakistan. My first marriage was also from Pakistan and she came to UK on spouse visa in 2006. However after a year we separated and I was advised by the solicitor that I can divorce her in Pakistan as I was going there for a break. I did notify the Home Office about our separation/divorce and had to sign a declaration letter to confirm this.
At the time the solicitor explained since my marriage took place in Pakistan and this is recognised in UK so therefore same principles are applied for a divorce. My marriage was not registered in this country. I have the divorce certificate from Pakistan (in Urdu and also in English).
My x-missus got the stay in this country, I believe through my child but not entirely sure how. As far as I know it certainly wasn’t through me. She has been in this country for two years now.
I want to call my new wife over, I have all the necessary documents ready. However today my wife went to embassy in Mirpur to have her paperwork checked, they were happy with everything except the divorce certificate which was issued in Pakistan over a year ago. The embassy advisor said we need to submit divorce certificate that is from County Court in UK. But I never got divorced in this country....after searching the internet even the quick divorce in UK takes about 6 months.
Does anyone have any knowledge in this matter, its actually scaring me big time because we are ready to submit our case....I would really appreciate any help on this matter.[/b]
