Hi, I am currently in the process of divorce and am expecting my decree absolute within the next 12 weeks. This decree will mean my marriage is legally finished. Until I have that declaration, I am legally still married.
my Australian partner and I are planning to apply for the PMV 300 visa soon. We were going to wait with the start of the application till I had the decree absolute but now we are wondering if we can start the application before I have this final piece of paper? The PMV requires us to marry within 9 months and since the decree absolute is on its way, I will be able to meet that requirement but at the same time, visas from London seem to be approved quite fast for PMV at the moment so it’s got me thinking...
Can I apply for the PMV without the decree absolute and upload it/add it when it arrives? What are the odds my visa would be handled before I have it? Would it be a reason to turn it down? Since I can prove I am getting divorced and it will be legal within weeks, does that change anything? Since I can still meet the “have to get married within 9 months”’required? I can upload all my divorce papers and show that things are in progress so they can see.
I’d like some of your ideas and advice on this, if anyone has any.
Thanks!
