Question

I am Tunisian Citizen, met my fiancee, who is a Hungarian citizen Living in London when I was visiting London for years ago.I am back to Tunisia and we kept in touch ever since.
She visited me in Tunisia also.
Now that we want to get married, can you tell me the process.I have reviewed the www.ukvisas.gov.uk website and I learned that I came under the section of Husbands, wives , partners, fiances and proposed civil partner.
and I have to apply to join my fiancee with qualifications like : we both intend to live together permanently in uk as husband and wife, we have met each other before, we can support ourselves without help from public funds, we are above 18.
we meet the above qualifications, but I need assurance from anyone
Can you advise please, Thanks- Midou

please not also that I am not in britain right now

Answer 1

midou, you have to get a certificate of approval (unless you marry in the Anglican Church) and you have to have 6 months left on any previous visa's in order to get the certificate of approval. otherwise, you have to return home and obtain a certificate of approval once you come back to britain. i married my english husband and being anglican / catholic, it was a bit less aggravation but still costs a lot of money whichever way you look at it.

Answer 2

You can marry. In fact it's probably better that your fiancee is a non-British EU citizen. The Home Office is not that bothered about foreigners marrying foreigners, and so grant the right to remain with little or no controls. I know an Ivorian lady who had a marriage of convenience with her UK-resident, but French citizen, cousin. After the wedding they parted immediately - she got her residency, and the IND never checked to see if they lived together.

Answer 3

Hi
My wife is from Argentina, she had to leave the country (as she had entered on a normal tourist visa) and then apply for a spouse/intending to marry visa from the British embassy in Argentina. Like you she had to confirm all sorts of stuff about us intending to live together etc... This got her a spouses visa.
When she got back we got married and then she had to apply for indefinite leave to remain from Lunar House in Croyden, after having that for a short while she was able to get citizenship and now has british passport.
I'm not sure how it may be different as your fiance is hungarian, I dot know if you would have to go according to Hungary's immigration and visa regulations so it would probably be advisable to check the hungarian immigration rules as it would a hungarian you would be marrying and so hungarian nationality that you would be able to claim. (this may be a good place to start looking; http://www.mfa.gov.hu/kulkepviselet/UK/en/mainpage.htm)

But good luck, it can be done, has been done and will be done again, the paperwork is a nightmare but well worth it in the long run.

(if you like my answer can I have some wedding cake?)

Answer 4

Sorry miidu you are being given a bum steer you would first have to go to hungary apply for spousal residence get married and then come to uk .If the hungarians dont allow you there you have got no chance.

Answer 5

if you want to live in london you must both have skills the country needs to gain residence. (then again, it's england, so why not sneak in? then everyone will leave you alone!) and if your fiancee is an english citizen you shouldn't have any problems gaining residence. good luck!

Answer 6

Propose her - that s a way of saying you want to marry her :)
Other than that you shouldn't worry too much - she is in the EU - so paperwork should get sorted in no time.

Answer 7

Hire an expert in these matter in the UK & don't go thru all this needless stress.

Answer 8

Go for it. My understanding is that it is open house here in the UK, and we take anyone.

Answer 9

Easier to stop where you are,UK full to over flowing
