EC for wife (second marriage before the first was annulled)

[NZama1]

Good to hear that your visa been granted. So just to confirm you applied for a spouse visa and submitted a decree absolute which post dated your 2nd marriage and this was accepted and visa granted. ECO did not mention that you were not free to marry your 2nd wife?. If that is the case then would appreciate if I could msg u personally and speak to u about it as I'm in same position

I was separated from ex wife for a few years and we were living in different cities in UK, then I got married abroad before getting decree absolute here. The application was for a spouse visa and not fiancé visa. The ECO accepted the decree absolute and accepted my marriage abroad as being valid. At any given time I was in a monogamous relationship although technically there was a period when I was legally waiting for a divorce here.

You can message me if you like, although I don't know what more I can add to what has already been discussed here.

Well, at least we have got clarity on this issue.

Can I request the mods to make this thread a sticky? This is a frequently asked question and I am sure that others will find this thread relevant.

Great news Adnan just need to clarify that your polygamous marriage was not considered a crime in UK ? as it was conducted in a country allowing polygamous marriage
as I am in the same boat as you
could you send me your solicitor contact details

Your situation is not quite the same as Adnan married in Pakistan. Have you read Casa's reply regarding the laws in Morocco in your own post?

You should also read the posts by alil2014 in this thread, where the outcome was quite different to Adnan's. As CR001 has advised, read my points in your own thread on the Moudawana, where strict conditions are now imposed regarding the law on polygamy in Morocco.
