Thanks Andypaul, i was aiming for 1 visit 3- 4 weeks, but this may not be possible from what u say, 2 - 2 week visits can work out expensive and i take it they would have to be within the 3 months otherwise cni would expire .Is the church wedding more paperwork than the registary , can i ask if you got the visa application done after the wedding and were you under pressure to make any deadlines . thanks p.s im just reading through the site and finding it very informative
