Marinulay Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Currently doing my partner visa..and Ive come to the bit where it says..previous names etc. Can I just put my previous marriage and divorce? Ive been married more than once and I dont really want to bring that into it...not to mention...I havent even a clue of the dates anymore..let alone divorce papers!

Parley Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I don't think it is a good idea to lie on the form as if they find out they will refuse the visa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will they want them?? Could take weeks!! If you are in the Uk you can obtain them from the local registry or the council registry offices where you married. You then will have to have them certified as genuine copies by a JP or an authorised signatory. Immigration wont be impressed if you refrain from giving genuine information, what a vast sum to lose if your application is rejected. NB They will require sight of your divorce papers see above..... and all previous names you have been known as . you can do the leg work yourself to save time!

Evandale Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) Dont know whether this helps...http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/divorces/...or.....https://www.gov.uk/copy-decree-absolute-final-order... and then....http://www.border.gov.au/Lega/Lega/Form/Immi-FAQs/who-can-witness-statutory-declarations..... usually these people are pretty efficient I believe and maybe ask for them to be sent via registered mail which you can pay for. Good luck! Decrees absolute (1858 to present) Consult the GOV.UK website for details of how to request a copy of a decree absolute, legal proof of a divorce in England or Wales. If you don’t know which court ratified the divorce you can ask the Central Family Court to carry out a search (£) by filling in a D440 form.

Guest Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) Are you applying online? The visa process is not immediate. You don't submit your forms and information and bang, it's all sorted. You can submit with what you have and then upload documents as and when you receive them (within reason). Don't leave anything out. It will be a very expensive accidental/intentional mistake to make. Have you sponsored someone before for a visa? Edited October 18, 2017 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not up to you to decide what you do or don't really want to bring into it. They are have asked for you to provide information and that's what you should provide. If it takes a while to get the paperwork then it just has to wait a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
