ILR - A bit unsure about marriage cert

**ThaiAdam** · 25th Nov 2011, 16:57

Hi,

Would be grateful if someone could clear this up for me:

Section 10b on the Set M application form states if you are applying as a spouse you must provide the following

But then says If you are applying as a spouse but your existing leave to enter was granted as an unmarried or same sex partner etc etc

We were married in Thailand before applying for settlement visa so should I include the marriage certificate and translation or not?
Also should I then also include my decree absolute from my previous marriage?

Many thanks in advance and i promise this will be the last question...(maybe)

Cheers!

I sent them. Better to send too much than not enough. They do send them back when you recive your wife's ILR.
I know you had to show them in order to get her FLR visa But you know what they are like.
Anything they can pick up on they will. Jobsworth and all that. good Luck.

It is badly worded you need to include marriage and divorce papers also you need translations of any marriage/divorce papers and 1 photocopy of each...

Apart from when travelling I keep mine in the passport so I know where it is

I phoned the UKBA about this matter and the woman I was talking to said she couldn't understand why the form asks for it to be included as they had already seen it when the spouse visa was granted.

To be on the safe side I included our Marriage Certificate (with translations) and my Decree Absolute with our ILR application.
