Getting married (but nothing to do with a visa!)
Hi there,
Hopefully someone can give me some advice or point me in the right direction as the government websites are just sending me round in circles! I am British (currently have a PR visa lodged) and have just got engaged to my partner who lives full time (more or less) in the UK
We were planning, for family reasons, to get married in the UK next year - but how do I go about lodging paperwork (or even what paperwork?!) from Australia?! Is this even possible? At the minute it's up in the air as to whether we'll end up living in the UK or Australia (if over here he will apply for his own visa - having lived apart for a lot of our relationship we won't have evidence enough for a partner visa and he could get an ENS visa if he got himself a job)
Sorry, that's a lot of blurb...it's only just occurred to me that paperwork needs to be filed - this on top of the panic of organising a wedding at home from abroad! If anyone can help, that'd be grand!
Cheers, Fluff x
