SET1.17 What if the divorce/dissolution process is not yet finalised?

An entry clearance should not be refused for this reason alone. The ECO would normally expect to see evidence that the divorce/dissolution proceedings are well under way.

While the divorce/dissolution may well come through within the six months Leave to Enter (LTE) period, thereby enabling the couple to marry, the ECO should be aware that divorce/dissolution proceedings may take longer than 6 months to resolve.

Should one of the partners still be waiting for a divorce/dissolution to come through at the end of the six-month LTE period, they may apply to the UK Border Agency for an extension of stay. Once married, the applicant may then apply for Leave to Remain (LTR) as a spouse.
thanks a lot for the information, I think its probably safer for me to wait to get the final divorce paper (absolute), I have the nisi already but I dont wants give them any excuse to reject our application.

Another question I had is can you apply for a Spousal Visa with the Local Marriage certificate, or do you need to wait for the one thats gets issued by the NSO at a later date. Did anyone submitt thgeir visa appliaction with just the local marriage certificate issue at the registry office where they got married?.

thanks,
Robert
