Hello
Thanx for your questions.
You can marry anywhere you want and then produce the marriage certificate ( alongwith English translation if its in some other language ) at the British embassy at the time of application for visa. Besides, you don't have to be living together for two years ( thats the requirement only for same sex marriages ). You can apply at the embasy as soon as you are married. His past immigration record, in theory, doesn't matter even though the Entry Clearence Officer might be skeptical about it but based on what I know, it shouldn't be a problem if you prepare a strong case. As you said you have your own flat and job which means it will be easy for you to prove that you have place and enough money to accomodate and maintain your boy-friend/husband. Besides, you just have to prove that your relationship is a genuine one. You could submit for example photos of your meetings, any visas that you took to go to Pakistan to meet him and such other things to let the ECO know that you have been having this relationship for so much time and it didn't just start out of nowhere.
I hope this information helps. Anymore questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Good Luck

 

Hello there !
thanx for your reply, I am pleased to know that I could be of any
help to you.
About your chat with the immigration advisor, I have never come accross any such requirements as 'ties to the country' you want to get married in.
The advisor was probably talking about the residence requirements in some countries to get married. The UK legislation actually says that any marriage is valid if its valid under the law of the country where it took place so I don't see any problem with that.

I would however suggest you find out the
pre-requisites/requirements that you must meet before you could get married in a country other than UK or Pakistan. You could find this information from the embassy of the country you choose.

About fiance visa...It is actually to facilitate couples to come close to each other and then get married so its not going, in any way, to complicate matters for you. Fiance visa is issued for six months and it allows your boy-friend/fiance to come to UK where you could get married and then switch Fiance visa to a Spouse visa from within the UK.

As to get naturalised ( not neutralised ! ) he will have to live in UK for three years with only limited breaks, but there is nothing like 'not allowed to travel/business' as you said. He will just not be able to apply for a Permanent Residence in UK and consequently UK nationality which means that he will have to keep renewing his Spouse visa.

I would suggest you read through this other post where I had tried to reply similar questions. I am sure you will get useful informaiton from here.

Hi
thanx for your questions.
You don't need to provide a lot of details about your relationship with
your boyfriend in case he applies for a trourist visa because its meant for tourism only. Please remember that he can't get married or switch his tourist visa while being in UK.

Past immigration record, in theory, doesn't have any effect on fresh application but as I said in my earlier post, the ECO might get skeptical.
As a proof of genuine relationship, there is no hard and fast rule but normally pictures from past, visa stamps that you ( or him ) got to meet each other, print outs of any e-mails that you have been sending each other in the past, records/reciepts of any hotel reservation where you both might have stayed together, post office reciepts of any gifts, letters, cards that you have been sending each other and such cards and letters themselves if you have any, and if you have happened to live in the past, any proof of that like utility bills for example.

Here you should remember that proofs like this depend on the individual cases so I would suggest, you provide as much details as you can. Don't think how ridiculous they might sound to you. Just think about the things that prove/can assist in proving your relationship and produce it, no matter what it is. The more information you provide, the stronger your case.

I hope this information helps. Don't forget to seek information from other sources. Anymore questions, please ask.

Good luck
