We will screen these registrations and require a compulsory interview where we deem appropriate. We will set out our timetable for introducing this requirement in a statement of intent in the Autumn."
Thats an Intresting one I can see that bumping up the costs of Visa applications.
So i presume you have met your Loved one decide ok we want to marry. Then seek the permission of the goverment?
Do you pass or faill?
What information will you need?
Will they need to contact your loved one and others on both sideds of the intended family?
Who screens it i presumes the Home office? Sounds like another department set up with all the managers and staff to go with it
