Dear @Sammy_2496, thank you so much for this information. Please can you provide more information about the Utah marriage

Here is a link! https://www.utahcounty.gov/dept/clerk/marriage/onlinemarriage.html
Just know that you must show proof you met in person after the marriage takes place before filing for the spouse visa!

If you aren’t a resident of the UK, you would both need a marriage visitor visa. The Home Office isn’t going to approve her for one since she’s overstayed. Plus, depending on where you are in the UK, there are some requirements for needing to  live there for x-amount of days before marriage

I am currently going through same issue and I am going to try and see if they let me interview. If they let me I don’t think they can deny me solely based on my legal status unless I am inadmissible 

Finger crossed for the UK police certificate to arrive. This is I think the main road block.

Please let me know if you get your police report and medical

We will do online marriage. It is better than going for the Marriage Visa

The problem I see is that the Nigerian fiance has no legal status in UK.  Some US consulates, such as Montreal, specifically require the applicant to show a resident card, student visa, etc. to show legal resident status at the interview. I would contact the London consulate and ask.

Some said Consulate doesnt care about your legal status. I will find out.

I think that’s a good idea. I would probably do the same in your situation. Best of luck and hoping for a speedy process for you!
