The "new law" affects those coming into the UK on a settlement visa. However your wife, as she will be, will be coming into the UK on a student dependent visa, and the ages limits do not apply.As the new law came out, I won't be able to apply 'cause she is under 21.
Hi Good peoplecongpine wrote:Dear all members,
My name is Colin.I'm 21. Oversea student!
My fiancee will be 18 in May-09. She is UK Citizen.
We have been together for over 3 years.
We will get married when she is over 18 and apply for marriage visa.
As the new law came out, I won't be able to apply 'cause she is under 21.
So we think that we will have to appeal when they reject my application.
Could anyone give me some advice in which I should and shouldn't do, please?
Should I appeal? How much it will cost ?
These are what we will try to do before getting married and apply for marriage visa.
1. Gather all photos/pictures and upload them to Facebook ( to prove the date/time)
2. Open Joint account because we don't live together. We need wedding firstly before doing so.
3. Apply for COA when she is 18
4. Register and get married. Open a small wedding party with friends, relative .( big one will be held in my home country ) in June/July and start living together.
5.Come back home country in August for holiday and prepare for wedding in Jan/2010
6. Jan/2010: main wedding will be held. take photos, videos...
7. Feb/2010 : apply for marriage visa
8. Appeal !Collect evidence, friends write letters to support. Open website for people to sign up and against this law.
9. My student visa will be expired in Oct /2010
What is your advice?
Please, Help Us !!
Thank you !
-: are you not understanding? The benefits situation is the least of your worries. Whether your fiancée is still on benefits when she reaches 21 ... in over 3 years time .... is of course anyone's guess.your wife, as she will be, will not be permitted to sponsor you for a spouse visa .... until she is 21

If it is, she will get out of uni and find a job!Will it be the weak point so that the Home Office have more reasons to refuse our application when we APPEAL?
are 2-3 months enough to apply for EEA Family Permit?John wrote:If you do appeal, appreciate that you would lose at the AIT, and then face the prospect of appealing further to the High Court, etc etc ..... where the costs would be significantly higher than those that you mention.
Maybe consider the two of you getting married and then (possibly dependent upon language skills) the two of you consider spending the summer working in a bar or something in Spain, Portugal, Greece, or wherever. Then near the end of the summer season, you would apply for an EEA Family Permit, using the Surinder Singh route.
