Re: Getting Married in the UK

Can you remember how long the visa took? It looks like we can apply online.

I guess if it comes down to it we will just have our humanist wedding and not worry with the registry office bit! Looks...

Re: Getting Married in the UK

We were thinking 'no' as well. Then we read another page, and it seemed to make out that we did need a visa! :unsure:

We are only staying for 3 weeks.

Ok...I'm just calculating points and OH and I are having a slight difference in opinion!

Re: Moving to Oz.

I've already had a working holiday visa (11 years ago!) so as us Brits can only get one of those then we won't be going that route.

As OH is a welder he would qualify under welder first class, or...

Newfoundland dog? They don't roam far. I have one and none of our land is fenced. The furthest he goes is to the end of the drive and back!

Re: living in Canada on visit to get common law status...

If you are married you don't have to live together for a year before you can apply. As soon as you are married you can apply. I believe you still need to send in proof of your relationship though.

I agree with El_richo here. Best to wait until your boyfriend gets divorced, then get married.

Re: Any problem here?

Your girlfriend can't attend a course when she is on a visitors visa. Plus she may not get 6 months. It's up to the border officer how long she gets.

Re: Can Spousal Sponsorship and LMO process be submitted at the same time?

Re: Can Spousal Sponsorship and LMO process be submitted at the same time?

Remember that your LMO may take just as long. And tack on time to apply for and get your TWP (unless you do a flagpole run.)

Your PR may come through quicker than your TWP.

Re: Medicals - when do you get the results?

Just thought of one more thing. Don't leave any blank spots! Any parts that I didn't need to fill out, I just wrote N/A.

They will return your application if there are any spaces.
