    The latest on my Marriage situation, plus advise needed on Common Visa's.

    Hello.

    My Girlfriend and I (She is in the UK on a Work Permit and a Visa, the Visa runs out early August) have permission from my Parish Church to Marry there. First though we need to obtain a Common Visa.

    Please can someone inform me how easy it is to obtain this, and if (from what I can gather) it is just a formality.

    Thank you.

    Sorry I meant a Common Licience, not a Common Visa.

    No, basically the Government don't play a part in it. You get the Common Liscence from the Church of England. I was just wondering if they can give it you instantly after an Interview, or if you will have to wait.

    i'm wondering becuase if she has a work permit and some sort of visa, then one of the might be cancelled out by the other..

    It was in the News that the C of E was tightening up checks as there has been a lot of abuse of the sytem.

    Best to ask, I would think it helps if your a regular church goer. That or the Vicar can vounch for you and help things along.
