what i would like to know is:
1. what kind of visa i will need to apply for?
2. is it possible to apply without leaving uk or i will have to go back to my country and apply from there?
3. what documents will i need to provide and what will i need to proof?
4. is it nesessary to hire a solicitor or i can do it my self?
i done some research on ukba site but couldn't find anything regarding overstaid.
thanks in advance

thanks for replies.Kitty wrote:If overstaying is the only offence you have committed, then apply for a Residence Card from inside the UK as soon as you are married, using form EEA2.
What nationality is your EEA partner?
How long have you been together?
Are they exercising treaty rights in the UK? (working, studying etc.)
Be aware that Register Office staff may call the UKBA if they suspect a sham marriage: if you are marrying in a Register Office, have you made the appointment for the ceremony yet?
This is my biggest fear wtat they will join us at the ceremony, reading about such visits on ukba site every so often, have no choice but risk.imraniqbal2010 wrote:
Firstly, you can apply for visa without leaving uk once you are married.
But now a days Registrar at register office work with ukba and it's part of their job now to inform ukba if any over-stayer is getting married in UK.So chances are then ukba officers could raid on the day of cermony to stop marriage.Even you are in genuione relation they can stop the cermony if you are illegal.This is just the one horrible scene which could happen.Or you might be lucky & they dont give you a surprise visit.
But if you go back home and get married with your Girl friend over there then it's cent percent that you will get it.

Hi, i have met my fiance 1year 10 months ago, after couple of months we got together, but i moved in with her about 10 months ago thus only since than we have same adress if this is important. How do i proof how long we have been together?Kitty wrote:How long have you actually been living together?
THe 2-year rule is not absolute: it's a guideline.
It may be worth submitting an application for a Residence Card now, based on a durable relationship, and then submitting your marriage certificate to "upgrade" to a family-member application after the wedding.
This is actually what i was thinking today afte i read ypur previous post. What worrying me is won't they do a " quick " decision on my application for RC just to "get rid" of me?Kitty wrote:I suggest it really in order to give you some peace of mind on your wedding day. If you have an application under consideration then the UKBA should not be able to remove you.
If you have only been living together for only 10 months, then you would usually expect to be refused a Residence Card as a durable partner. However, if you have set a wedding date and are living together, then I think it's arguable that your relationship is already "akin to marriage", so it's not an entirely frivolous application.
It seems to be taking around 4 months for RC applications to be decided at the moment. BY submitting your marriage certificate once you are married, you should be able to vary your application to be considered as the family member of an EEA national and receive the card on that basis.
Remember that as soon as you are married to an EEA national, and provided they are exercising treaty rights, you are legally in the UK. The Residence Card does not confer that status: it simply confirms it.
This is what i was talking about? Let not be the Judge, i like your advice here but in the other page i dont, UKBA is not a friend to any non eea, there job is to look for where to fail you not to grant you, all we pray for is to find a new life were we chose to live with rest of mind. when i got married they never came because i applied for a COA but now they are fighting with me because of my former solicitor reaction with them.imraniqbal2010 wrote:biaka wrote:Any advice what to do before merriage, i can see in signature u been going through same thing not long ago,so you should know more aqbout it.

Luckily, I was not in the same situation as you.
My Tier 1 application was on appeal when I got married but on the day of marriage still I had un-invited guests(ukba).But as i was not illegal and our relation was genuine so they could not do anything.
Your situation is entirely different than me.
