    Anglican Church wedding then?

    In relation to today's news regarding 'sham marriages' I heard something about not requiring an entry visa/ certificate of approval for marriage in an Anglican church. Does this mean that my partner (a failed asylum seeker, who remains in the UK) and I (a Brithish citizen) could get married in an Anglican church legally without producing a visa?

    Rules on Marrying in the UK

    What exatly does this mean to everyone who is in this situation and wishes to marry in the UK? I have been with my fiance for three years and we wish to marry but the home office has stated that we do not meet the criteria for this to happen. I would be grateful if you could clarify this matter.

    Thank you

    anglican marriage then

    You are correct. You are able to marry in coe but you will have to be able to answer lots of questions regarding your relationship. We have recently been to see the vicar who asked lots of questions and you have to be attending church on a regular basis. The vicar actually contacted our pastor to confirm this.
    Good Luck

    Following a judgement in the High Court on 10th April 2006, the Home Office has suspended decisions on some Certificate of Approval for Marriage (COA) applications. These are ones which would normally fall for refusal under current guidelines. The Home Office will be writing to those applicants affected by the suspension.

    COA applications which meet the criteria will continue to be decided.

    The Home Office is currently considering the full implications of the judgement and this may include amending current guidelines.

    In the meantime, if you are currently planning to submit a COA application, you should submit it in the usual way [ie on the COA (M/CP) application form and with the £135.00 fee].

    Up date of Right to marry.

    Marriage rules themselves a sham!

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    23 May 2007
    Government attempts to prevent 'sham marriages' are unlawful, the Court of Appeal has ruled today. The Court of Appeal went further than Mr Justice Silber in the High Court last year and found the whole scheme to be completely illegal and not only discriminatory but a breach of a person's fundamental human right to marry, whatever that person's immigration status in the United Kingdom.



    Commenting on the ruling, immigration minister Liam Byrne said: 'The Certificate of Approval scheme has been instrumental in tackling the issue of sham marriages.' He added that the Home Office is 'disappointed' with the high court's decision and will be 'looking at the judgement carefully before deciding whether we will appeal to the House of Lords'.
