Hi All,

I am a Pakistani citizen and have been and working in the UK for the past 4 years now and am 28 years old. I am recently seeing a Polish girl who is 21 years old and has converted to Islam and we would like to marry each other but I guess we thought about it a bit as I only have 3 months of visa left.

Can anyone please give me some advice on the questions below?

1. As I only have 3 months of visa left, so I guess marrying in Poland is out of question as I read in some of the thread that that would at least take 6 months.

2. Would it be possible for us to marry in the UK?
a. If yes, then what should we do in that respect?
b. Would I be able to live and work in the UK after that?
c. Would I be able to apply for EEA family card?
d. How long does the marriage process take in the UK (only official ceremony) as we intend to have our proper wedding ceremony in Pakistan and also with her family in Poland?
e. How long will take take for me to get an EEA family card? and what is the process for that?

I am sorry for the long list of questions, but I havent dealt with such issues before, so any help with the above questions will be much appreciated!!

Thanks in advance!!

 

Thanks for your reply Yousafzai. Much appreciated!!

However, one thing I should have mentioned before is that my girl friend is still studying at uni but I am working here. Would that work for EEA2? and if the process takes 6month to 2 years then would I still be able to stay and work here unless the HO reaches a decision and issues me EEA2 residence card?

Finally, would you suggest its better to marry in Pak and apply for EEA2 at the Polish Embassy in islamabad?

Please if you could tell me whats the best way forward for us ? My visa Expires in Feb 2011.

Thanks very much again.

 

Thank you very much. Much appreciated!!
