Is the marriage visa only applicable if you marry a Brit?

Question

What if you marry an EU citizen? Are you eligible to get that visa?

I'm marrying a French citizen in the UK.

Answer 1

no, if you marry a resident it will be okay as well ;

so yes you may get a visa, depending on your nationality and qualifications .

Spouses of UK citizens or permanent residents (mainly those with indefinite leave to remain) may come to the UK under marriage visa category, and are able to work as soon as a visa is granted. You will need to meet the following marriage visa requirements:

If you have been together for less than four years you are granted a marriage visa for a probationary period of two years. If you are still married and living together at the end of two years in the UK permanent residence (properly known as indefinite leave to remain) will usually be granted.

If you have been together for four years or more outside the UK you will be granted indefinite leave to remain (permanent residence) in the UK without having to live in the UK for two years.

The UK citizen or permanent resident must have actually met their non-UK spouse. This is to prevent a situation that occurs sometimes in arranged marriages where the husband and wife have never met.

You must intend to live together permanently with your spouse in order to obtain a spouse visa. http://www.workpermit.com/uk/marriage.ht...

Answer 2

i think its the same in the usa

Answer 3

Its for people who are present and settled in UK. So anyone from the EU as long as they are in UK living would qualify.

So yes, you can marry on that certificate but please get proper advice!
