The Decree Absolute will enable you to get (legally, as compared to religiously) married ... following which your wife will be able to apply for a spouse visa.I am in the process of receiving my decree absolute which will then allow my second wife to apply for a spouse visa.
No, I don't think so, except I am surprised she got the visitor visa so easily. I make no accusation, but I wonder if material facts were withheld when the visitor visa was applied for? If that has happened then that could affect a subsequent visa application.The question is whether her refusal of entry would affect her application? i.e Would it be rejected outright? How would it affect her application?
Hi John, I am a bit confused by your comment. Do you suggest I remarry my wife religiously once I receive my decree absolute?John wrote:The Decree Absolute will enable you to get (legally, as compared to religiously) married ... following which your wife will be able to apply for a spouse visa.
Many thanks for your help John. My second wife travelled to the UK on numerous occasions before I married her and on each occasion she was granted a single visit visa [via interview]. [And a multiple visa to the US too]. She applied for her UK multiple visa via a drop box and not through an interview. I assume this method would have an influence on the decision to some degree?John wrote:for the year 2002

No, but given you are currently legally married, to your first wife, clearly the UK will not recognise the marriage ceremony you had with your second wife. It therefore appears to be the case that you will need to marry her ... legally .... before applying for a spouse visa.Hi John, I am a bit confused by your comment.

Many thanks John.

Apart from needing to prove that the two of you are legally married, no I don't think you will have a problem.
I shall have to take your word for that. Others from Pakistan might be able to comment.I believe I may have to register my Nikkah certificate at a court of Pakistan.
The Fiancée visa was an option that we considered but my wife changed her name on her passport based on our Nikkah and subsequently our child will include the family name too. Would this pose a problem if I applied for a fiancée visa given that her passport is in her married name [based on our NIkkah]?John wrote:
There might be another way of proceeding? If she applies for a fiancee visa she could fly to the UK and then get legally married at a UK Register Office. I totally accept that such a plan may or may not appeal to you.
