No, it is not automatic. You would still have to satisfy the residency requirement, go through immigration screening and eventually take a citizenship test.

The only thing that is semi-automatic is that you would be granted the right of residency. But even that is subject to screening, to weed out the fraudsters and mail-order brides.

or a welsh man, or a scottish man, or a man from Northern Ireland.

Hopefully any man would be able to see right through you, marry for citizenship is wrong on so many levels.

No. You have to have a fun day in Croydon and then there is no guarantee of success.

No. First of all, you would have to apply to come to the UK on a spouse visa, if you married abroad, or a fiance visa if you were planning to marry in the UK. This would only be granted if your husband to be could show that he can support and accommodate you. If you are already here on some other visa, you would have to apply to the Home Office for permission to get married, which would most likely be refused. None of this applies if you are an EU citizen or have indefinite leave to remain here.

Anyway, having got married and got into the country, you could apply for indefinite after two years of marriage, but only if you are still together. (There are special rules for proven victims of domestic violence).

For citizenship, I think you can only apply after five years residence in the country.

no. My colleague a teacher is married to an american and they have a young son, who was born in the United States and she and the son are only here on a visitors pass. It is due to expire and they may not be able to come to the uk for another 6 months.

WHY, why do you want to come here under illegal conditions - to get a better life, well its not that better, we have unemployment and homelessness. Stay in your own country. You wouldn't be accepted all that easily, if you did get her you don't get benefits, or NHS etc until after 2 years when you sit an entry exam which is very hard. We have enough foriengers here we dont want any more.

Ha, ha, ha, NO! They stopped that little scam a while ago.

NOT ANYMORE - so don't bother trying - immigration will interview you and find out and deport you again -

Nope, so dont think you can get in that easily missy!
Is it any wonder that British people are against immigrants when we have so many trying to marry just to get citizenship in the country. To all those guilty of it: STOP FREELOADING!!

I am not sure about citizenship in England, I remember that in Europe you can't never become a citizen just a resident but never a citizen.. I say ask to the In migration law there.
Germany not citizenship and is and European country I am not sure about England so.
Is not like US...

NO,
if will have a right to reside and Enter GB only, not the EU, Isle of Man or Channel Islands. It should be easier to get a work permit then after however amny years you can get the British Passport. You can by British Law retain your old Nationality


Lawyer
Nope!!!


DAVID B
Thank fully NO!

The door was shut a while back!!!!!!
something the government got right (in the end)

In fact, many people who have gone down this route are now getting deported!!!

No, you would have to become a citizen if you wanted to.

However, if you have children, they will be citizens in both countries if you never got British citizen-ship (Is that a word?)
