UK to marry BG

Post by matt » Wed Apr 08, 2009 11:47 am

HI, i feel im in the right area here with this question and i hope somebody can shed some light on this for me.
My Girlfriend is Bulgarian and came to the UK to live with me about 7 months ago, after the long hard drawn battle to gain her employment we eventually realised it basically impossible for bulgairans/romanians to gain employment unless its a highly skilled job. (after all the BR1 forms and everything) so....
shes returned to BG for a couple of months, but because our relationship is strong and we want to be together i want to know how easy is the process if i marry her in a registry office in order for her to gain uk citizenship and then obtain a NI number and the right to work in the UK, i think this is the only possibility and im sure there or other people out there thats gone through the same as we have with no advice or help!

You can marry her and apply for a 2 year spouse visa. She'll still be a long way off being able to apply for British Citizenship, but as your wife she'll be able to work without restriction. Wait for confirmation as to whether she needs to apply to the Home Office for a COA to marry in the UK.
