Hums...no you won't get ILR just like that. You need a CoA to marry, how long has your gf been here? You might need to use the EEA family permit visas. Visit the BIA website for information about marriage to a UK/EU/EEA citizen and the requirements.hun12 wrote:hi i m on a student visa...but i will be getting married to my gf from germany..will i be able to convert my student visa to partner visa or ILR?
thanks
The full guidance for CoA can be found if you click here (pdf)If you don't have settled status in the UK, you will need to apply for a certificate of approval from the Home Office. To qualify for a certificate of approval, you must normally have been granted leave to enter or leave to remain for more than six months and three months of that leave must still remain. If you don't qualify, you will need to return to your country of origin, or the country in which you are normally resident and apply for a visa there.

Basically she has to come to UK and exercise her treaty rights by living/working or studying here.hun12 wrote:Hmmm..well, we love each other but can u please explain more about the EEA route? thanks!
I don't understand what else you want to know. If you want to live/work in Germany with her, then go to the German embassy website and read the requirements for a partner's visa. If you want to stay in the UK, then she will FIRSTLY have to be in the UK! You cannot have an EEA permit whilst she is living in Germany and you are here. So, she needs to be in the UK to exercise TREATY RIGHTS...but, you need to pay a visit to the BIA website and read the EEA route requirements there, including accommodation and living requirements.hun12 wrote:Thanks... she used to visit me in uk from germany so she basically lives in germany. Now, the thing is tht she doesnt work n lives with her parents in germany...i work part-time means like 15 to 20 hrs a week as i m a student n live on rent. Now, tell me how shud i go about it...as u mentioned that i need to show money n accomodation...please explain more...thanks alot.
My gf is Russian, on UK student visa with a german work permit, I can confirm the difficulties with anything German! First WP took four months this one with a different company is six weeks without result. So she's there with a piece of paper with an feasibility long name which seems to act as our UK section 3 protection but she's too scared to leave Germany on it and can't work....Siggi wrote:Hun12
I lived in Germany for 5 years as a student and know that in the 80tys it was very hard to get a "Aufenthalt Erlaubnis".
The Germany Immigration will check your story out very closely especially since you are a non Eurpean National and a student.
Are you going to a recognised Uni in Germany?Are you at a recognised UK Uni?
How old are you? and what Nationality?
These will be the questions that GI will be very interested in.
Good luck!
Eh?hun12 wrote:Thanks again for the info....As u said tht we fail in the income section so does that mean we both cant get married ? The thing is that I prefer to live in UK but she prefers to live in Germany. I mean we have planned in such a way that we both will be visiting each other after few weeks or months. But, I don't understand why do I hav to check out the germany embassy website coz we both eventually want to settle in UK. Thanks once again...
So I replied:Thanks for the information. She is german by nationality...and we intend to stay in either UK or germany.
So it seemed you hadn't decided where the two of you will live! Now you write that she doesn't want to come to the UK, and you can't force her. Which is why I mentioned going to the German embassy website for you to go to live in Germany if that's what you decide!if your gf does not currently reside in the UK, does she plan to come here? You can't apply for anything in/for the UK if she is not going to be here. If you want to reside in Germany, you should look at the requirements at the German embassy website..I don't know if any of us here would know.
You can get married if you want, if it's in the UK, she'll need to be here and you need a Certificate of Approval for that. If in Germany...visit the German embassy website for requirements, I don't know.As u said tht we fail in the income section so does that mean we both cant get married?
You cannot use the EEA route unless she is here...she cannot come into the UK, apply with you then leave back for Germany...she needs to be exercising treaty rights in the UK THROUGHOUT your EEA permit validity. So she can't help you at all if she doesn't want to live in the UK.I mean we have planned in such a way that we both will be visiting each other after few weeks or months.
You don't have a choice....either she comes here and you apply for an EEA permit, or she does not come here and you cannot stay in the UK...simple as...Obviously you can apply for any other visa you qualify for (student, WP, HSMP, etc) but she can't help you with that at all. So if you prefer to live here, then try applying for a WP or HSMP after your course, and let her stay in Germany! That seems to be the best option. How old are you two, btw?The thing is that I prefer to live in UK but she prefers to live in Germany.
If she's coming to UK then u follow the EEA route, forget the German one - the test are not as stringent on EEA route since she can just move here without issue. I think you will need a CoA to marry her, and I think u need more than three months left on ur visa also I think that restriction might have been lifted. Think it costs 135 quid.hun12 wrote:Thanks again for the info....As u said tht we fail in the income section so does that mean we both cant get married ?

I'm not sure. Think it's either three months or six months. but she'll need to be working. How's her English? And she can't just bugger off to Germany after u get the permit - I think u'd need to accompany her.....hun12 wrote:Thanks for the info. Please let me know how long she has to stay in UK after we get married in the UK to be eligible to apply for EEA family permit? Because, she told me that she wants to work in UK at some point of time but hasn't really decided exactly when. I do have a valid visa for further 2 years. I am 25 and she is 23. Thanks once again.

I am a student in the UK but I want to get the PR for Australia. My brother is an Australian PR holder. I have got a MA Business management degree from UK. I got around 3 years of part-time work experience and 1 year full-time. Please let me know my chances of getting the PR. Kindly also let me know tht would it be better to apply from UK or from my home country and how long does it take? Otherwise, would I get any benefit from doing another course from Australia and then applying on-shore PR?
Thanks alot!
