Marrying a Mexican
Hi there,
I plan on marrying my Mexican Girlfriend within the year and would like to hear from people who have married a Mexican or are in the process of doing this, for advice.
I think we would aim to get married in Mexico and then live back in the UK - so really we want to know how easy it is to get her a spousal visa. I know that she would need to apply for it in Mexico, but is it a straight forward & quick process? Would we need a lawyer to do it, or is it easy enough to do yourself?
Any help information at all would be great
Thanks,
David

Re: Marrying a Mexican
I married a Mexican in 2000 - in her hometown. The Spousal Visa application process was straightforward enough but we did have to provide a good deal of proof that the marriage was genuine. It also helped that I had already filed, in my local N.London registry office, a "Superintendent Registrar's Certificate of No Impediment to Marriage Pursuant to the Marriage With Foreigners Act 1906" - it probably made them realize that this was being taken seriously

Hi maumeza. I am from Scotland and my girlfriend is Mexican - we are hopefully going to apply soon for her visa to live in the UK - maybe we can help each other out with what to submit - I think I have a good idea.
