[quote="Prince74"][quote="OLUMUYIWA"][quote="wiggsy"]sorry, Freedom of Information request... - i will have to find it... i more than likely saved it - but i have hundreds of documents saved on my laptop in relation to our case... will have to find the correct reference no
we got married in 2011 we opted for a church more by choice as wifes parents were able to come to the uk with the sponsorship of their son (wifes brother),,,
however, with the amount of stories ive read about UKBA turning up at registry office ETC, i think it might be the best move... (the lady who we saw when we approached the registry office to get married could see we had our daughter etc... so i think she gave us the advice to help us etc) - she said that all details of marriage went to UKBA if the registrars were conducting the service etc. - this includes if the wedding is at a hotel etc too.
A church wedding is seperate... The Bishop authroises the wedding by a "Bishops Common License". although a church wedding costs A LOT MORE money... (although some churches do conduct weddings for a donation etc - my friends church doesnt have a fee... but its a case of "if you can give, we would appriciate all the help you can give us" etc.
Im not sure if policys have changed since... and this was AFTER the removal of the cert of approval requirement was removed.[/quote]
The lady at the registry must be really nice. Was she a staff at the registrar's office , or a solicitor ?[/quote]
Olumuwiya, what the article you referred to above was saying is that:
Under the Free Movement Directive, as a family member of a EU national, that Directive gives you greater protection than Zambrano because Zambrano is not derived from the Directive. You should also bear in mind that deportation and removal are two separate terms and does not mean the same thing.
If you were arrested after you had applied or granted a Zambrano status and the states wishes to deport you, either due to criminal activities or for reasons not conducive to the public, the Zambrano residence card would not give you protection against deportation. But if, for instance you were granted a visa as a spouse or family member of a EU national (that is, not a British citizen), then it would be very difficult for the state to deport or remove you because the visa you hold as a family member of a EU national is derived from the Free Movement Directive. In a nutshell, visas granted under the Free Movement Directive offers greater protection against removal or deportation.[/quote]
Ok, is a pending zambrano application strong enough to protect against deportation if.say u are arrested. For height in the country without leave?
