Tier 1 Visa holder got married outside the UK

[legorn]

Hello,

Last year I got the extension to my tier 1 visa for two more years. In December, I got married (only the civil wedding) in my home country (Venezuela). When I came back to the UK two weeks ago, I sent a copy of my marriage certificate (with official translation) along with copies from my passport and brp to the pertinent UKBA address.

I did this so that the UKBA could have in their records that I am married before my wife applies for a dependant visa from Venezuela. However, I have not received any letter from the border agency stating that they got my documents. Does anyone have any idea of how long it takes?

Also, will I receive my marriage certificate back or they will keep it?

I tried to call them but there are no options in the ivr menu for enquiries such as this one.

Thanks for your help

All those documents could have been submitted at the time of application itself, there was no need to inform UKBA that you were married seperately from the dependent leave application

Agree with the poster above you shouldnt have sent anything at all at this point. Didi you sent the original or copy? If you sent an original then there is a high possibility it could get lost, given that you dont have a case yet and the document even coulnt be assigned.

I'm in UK and my dependant would apply from a different country.

Anyway, it was a change in circumstances. Hence, I submitted that form to UKBA. This was also the advise I got from this forum some time ago.

No where it says that you need to inform UKBA if you get married, change of circumstances would be more relevant if it directly affects your LTR or your personal details etc
