Sometimes confussing how the other places in UK, are not the same opinion or info they got, for example

when I arrived at heathrow, the Immigration officer told me after my 6 months fiancee visa I need to go

back to Philippines, and I am really had mixed feeling, confussed/shocks/scared/annoyed and I told him

"Isnt it after get married we will apply Further leave to Remain?? and he said with a big voice and surprise

of my reply "No, you need to go back and apply in your country a spouse visa" and he even ask his 4

colleague and they say the same, so I didnt argue with them lol they are immigration, and when I saw

hubby I told him of what they said and he quite confussed as well,



To make the story short,we get married after 1 1/2 months after I arrived in the UK, then I apply my FLR

in person at UKBA home office in London, and thats it, I got my ID after 5 days stating and valid until 2011

Just wondering that immigration officer didnt know the rules, shockssssssss and annoying some

times

Makes me wonder too...because while at the Asian Resource Center earlier asking for advice...the man said I need to get Home Office Approval first before we can get married! Imagine my face! I was like...what do you mean Home Office Approval? Or are you talking about the Notice of Marriage? then he went to ask the other lady...and said..Oh Yeah that's it! Notice of Marriage... Hmmm they should be giving advice and not confusing people more lol

They're talking rubbish, Home Office Approval is for people who are here on a different kind of visa, like student etc. You have already been given permission to marry in the UK because you were issued with a fiancee visa, the purpose of which is to allow you to come here and get married. If I were you I would find out where your Local Area Health Authority office is and pay them a visit. Ask them if they can give you something in writing to show that you are legally entitled to register with a doctor here in the UK.
