Notice to marry

[LM2]

I am non eu, 10yrs overstayer in a relationship with EU citizen, we been together for 4yrs and living together for 3yrs, we have a 20months old babe girl. We planing to get married, we have an appointment in 3 weeks time. As an overstayer without application pending im shitting myself, i wanted to apply for unmarried partner before we give notice, but my lawyer side they will refuse my application without my passport.

Please any info or advice will be much welcome

Has you legal advisor explained that when you give notice to marry the Registrar is legally bound to notify the Home Office who can then extend the notification period from 28 to 70 days in order to interview you both (separately) should the choose to do so, before the wedding can go ahead. He should also have made you aware that without any pending application, you are at risk of being detained during the interview.

How will you register to marry without a passport

Can i be detained at the register or you mean by home office if they choose to interview us,?

By HO if they choose to interview each of you separately or if they grant permission then you could potentially be detained on your wedding day by HO.

Thanks for your replay
I have app next week to give notice to marry, My father deserted me before i was born, I've never met him, my understanding is they do ask about father n mothers question when giving notice, i dont want anything to do with him in my life, I spoke to the priest about this he said they will ask me at the registry, how can I explain this if they ask?

Hello
We gave notice to marry three weeks ago, we haven't recevied any letter from HO yet. Our 28 days ends next week wed. what do we have to do if we havent got the letter?

I applied for eefm 4 days after giving notice, my lawyer said they have taken money but they haven't sent the confirmtion letter or email, its been over 2 weeks now. How long do they take to confirm?

Hello
My partner wants to applying for her permanent residence card, her passport is still with ho cause i applied for rc as eea efm 3 weeks ago, I have not revecied any email or letter from ho with case number so we can request her passport back or so we can send her application....

Will this affect my application if we request her passport back?

Hello
I would say wait for your marriage to take place and then apply for your RC and once you get the RC then go for her PR. Her passport will say with HO until your case is decided.

If you really want to apply PR for your partner then
second option is apply PR for your partner with the ID card.

kind regards

Hello everyone
We been asked to attend interview on thursday at Sanford House in Solihull, this like miles away from where we live, i really dont know why they ask us to travel that far with our 20 month old baby.

Please can you share any experience about interviews, im not really looking forward this cause of my immigration back grounds..

The questions are likely to be similar to this member's during an interview for FLR(FP) in the link below:

Thank you for your reply much appreciate ,I've got few questions which maybe you guys can help me out with this you know I'm in overstayer. I'm so nervous for my interview on Thursday not really looking forward to it I guess that something has to be done, l been thinking of not attending but how will this affect my application which is pending ? I have worked without papers if they ask about this, how can I answer if I lie it won't be good cause it will sure on there system I'm really nervous of being detained course I am the main carer for our daughter well the mother she's working long hours to support us.

If you fail to attend the interview you will put yourself in a worse situation than you are in now.

And also if you lie to HO, never a good move. They know more about you than you think they do.

Update
We want for our interview wow it was not really any interview cause it only lasted 5mins, the officer came to us asked for docements ,which we gave to him, he want to the office "i guess he was just checking our names" when he came back he told us that he was not going to keep us long, cause ho has already approved our relationship by giving me RC. He said we should receiver our certificate next week..

On our way back my solicitor called saying she received my RC i should go a collect tomorrow..
