Partner visa questions. Please help!

[Terpe]

Thank you for your reply Moving Forward.

We are renting a flat at the moment. We initially intended to get a 2 yr contract but they would only allow us 6 months, renewable at the end of each term. Therefore, when I apply for my visa in Sept, there will only be 5 months left on it. Do you think that's fine? Should we get a letter form the landlord stating how long have we been living in the flat?

Also, since I have changed my address now from his parent's address to the new flat, should I be informing the UKBA about this whilst i'm here?

Thanks so much. Really appreciate it.

That's fine. Most private rented accommodation works that way.

Thanks Terpe! We've figured it that way too.

Also, another question please, both of us has not been married before, does my partner still need to get a CNI here in the UK to submit along my application? And should I also get a CENOMAR ?

Thanks again.

Yes.
Hubby = Philippine CNI version issued by British Embassy
(maybe also CENOMAR - probably better just to get one anyway, rather than get a surprise)

You= CENOMAR

Your husband gets his UK CNI from the local registrar (takes 21 days min) then it must be exchanged for a Philippine acceptable version issued by the British Embassy ( by appoinment only)

From Article 21 of The Family Code of The Philippines:-

When either or both of the contracting parties are citizens of a foreign country, it shall be necessary for them before a marriage license can be obtained, to submit a certificate of legal capacity to contract marriage, issued by their respective diplomatic or consular officials.

(The highlighting was done by me and does not appear that way in the Family Code)

Most authorities issuing marriage licence's also request the foreign partner to have CENOMAR. It's better you will double-check at the place you will request the licence.

There's some great information on CNI / CENOMAR / Marriage licence etc here in the forum.
Well worth a searh

We truly appreciate your reply Terpe. But just to clarify, we have no intention of getting married (yet). I will be applying for an Unmarried Partner Visa in a few months. I am now in the UK on a Family Visit Visa (Unmarried Partner) until June and also sorting out documents we would need from here.

Perhaps what we would like to ask is, for Unmarried Partners (us) who has neither been married before, do we need to provide CNI (for my British Partner) and CENOMAR (for me) along with my application?

Thanks Terpe! Sorry for the confusion.
