Yeah ur right John, I forgot about that!John wrote:Aobilor, any particular reason why the two of you want to get married in the UK? Or put it another way, any reason why the two of you can't get married in Poland, or in your country? Or indeed anywhere else in the world?
If you are determined to get married in the UK, and to correct Wanderer, because there is no provision in the EU regulations for a fiancé visa, there is actually specific provision in the UK's Immigration Rules for you to apply for a fiancé visa. Having got that, you would come to the UK, get married, and then use form EEA2 to apply for a Residence Card on the EU route.
Wanderer, if you want to look up the technical details, read para 290A of the Immigration Rules.
Probably modelled on the Soviet system still followed in Russia, ZAGS and all that, designed to frustrate!John wrote:For the benefit of others, can you say why?inwarsaw wrote:DON'T EVEN THINK about getting married in Poland.
I didn't know this John, thank you!John wrote:there is a special provision in the UK immigration rules, para 290A, which for this special purpose only deems your EEA fiancée to be "settled" in the UK, but only in order to permit you to apply for a fiancé visa.
Finally in the context of what has been posted in this topic it is right to refer to a fiancé visa, but it is worth noting that if the relationship is same-sex, then exactly the same applies as regards a Proposed Civil Partner visa. Para 290A can also apply in that circumstance.290A. For the purposes of paragraph 290 and paragraphs 291 - 295, an EEA national who holds a registration certificate or a document certifying permanent residence issued under the 2006 EEA Regulations (including an EEA national who holds a residence permit issued under the Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2000 which is treated as if it were such a certificate or document by virtue of Schedule 4 to the 2006 EEA Regulations) is to be regarded as present and settled in the United Kingdom.
I had related my long story of how did I get married with my Polish wife in Poland when I joined this forum and I wouldn't like to repeat it but as Wanderer correctly guessed, when it comes to government offices in Poland, they will make you believe you are in Soviet Union The Great.John wrote:For the benefit of others, can you say why?inwarsaw wrote:DON'T EVEN THINK about getting married in Poland.
