Hi and welcome to the Forum.

There are different rules depending on which UK country you wish to get married; this will take you to the UK Gov website that has all the details you need.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for your reply. We are living in Birmingham.

I have been to register office to get more information. They gave me a form to fill and told me they will call us for a meeting. But I wonder what is our status. Will they refer to Home office before we give notice? It's not too clear.

Hi again.

If you are both legally resident in the UK, then I don't envisage any problem.  My advice is to fill the form in and go to the meeting with the registry office.

I hope this helps.

This must be checked but I understand it makes a difference to your case.

It used to be an asylum seeker registered as such is able to do things that an unregistered person can't.

This was something from a long time ago when I was seeing a Chinese lady in a similar situation so it might very well be out of date.

When I read through it, the important milestone to get past was residency; once both are legal residents in the UK, they are free to get married there.

Thanks for your reply.

Law is changing especially after Brexit.

My girlfriend has been admitted to refugees status for 5 years. I'm French.

The registration office told me they will refer to Home office for investigation.

So I'm a bit confused.

@Cynic

Thanks for your reply.

I have filled the form 3 weeks ago but nothing until now.

Hi again.

It may be a good idea to give them a gentle nudge to ask for an update.
