So why?
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR APPLICANTS WHO DO NOT HAVE LEAVE TO ENTER OR
REMAIN IN THE UK WHICH MEETS THE CRITERIA FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROVAL (COA)
Following High Court and Court of Appeal judgments, changes were made to the COA scheme. In 2006 procedures
were introduced for applicants who have valid leave to enter or remain in the UK when applying for a COA but not
leave which meets the published COA criteria. Further procedures were introduced in 2007 for applicants with no
valid leave at the time of application. If you are such an applicant, we may write to you after receiving your application
in order to obtain information and supporting evidence to enable us to be satisfied that your proposed marriage
or civil partnership is genuine. Any such letter will ask for information about the following:
When, where and how you and your fiancé(e)/proposed civil partner met
When you decided to marry or enter into a civil partnership
Where you intend to live if permitted to marry or to enter into a civil partnership in the UK
Arrangements for any religious ceremony, including the nature of the ceremony, the person conducting it and relevant
contact details
Arrangements for any reception or celebration, including location, proof of booking and relevant contact details
Your relationship with your fiancé(e)/proposed civil partner if you are not living together (for example, letters and
photographs as evidence of the relationship)
Your life with your fiancé(e)/proposed civil partner if you are living together, including the address(es), how long
you have lived together, and documentary evidence in the form of correspondence addressed to both of you at
the same address from gas/electricity/water companies, government bodies, local authorities, financial institutions
etc
Any children from your and your fiancé(e)/proposed civil partner's present or previous relationships, including
where they now live, the length of time any of them have lived with you, the names of their natural parents and
who supports them
Contact telephone numbers for yourself and your fiancé(e)/proposed civil partner in case we need to contact
either of you
Any additional information about yourself and your fiancé(e)/proposed civil partner which you would like us to
know about, and/or any additional supporting evidence or documentation which might help your application.
The letter asking for this information will explain that your answers will have to be provided in separate affidavits
signed and dated by you and your fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner. An affidavit is a written statement signed on
oath and witnessed by a qualified solicitor or notary public.
Basically if your intentions genuine than you might pass it.
