Great thank you. We will be able to convert it to a marriage ETA: in Gibraltar and may likely need to opt for the standard CR1 route if we don’t get the certificate in time.

Thank you but I’m not talking about same sex marriage, we are opposite sex man and woman, I am saying it is not yet possible for opposite sex couples to convert their civil partnership to a marriage in England or Wales. It is only possible if same sex.

Sadly as far as I’m aware it is not yet legal for opposite sex couples to convert it in UK, Scotland allows this but requires 29 day notice period

Hi there! I was wondering if anyone might be able to offer insight into this little pickle I’m in… I am a US citizen in the UK. I received a life changing job offer in the US with an urgent start date at the end of January. I should have flexibility pushing it back a couple weeks but I am concerned because my British spouse and I need to convert our civil partnership (opposite sex) to a marriage by eloping to Gibraltar. I have a few questions about the DCF process as it pertains to our situation: 1. As I am a resident of the UK, do I have flexibility on starting the job remotely here and filing for DCF like one to two weeks after starting, as long as I’m still in the UK? I am not sure if I can file DCF if the job starts remotely prior to filing, despite indicating a need for me to be in the US. The answer to this plays a role in my next question… 13. I am worried about a delay with receiving our marriage certificate prior to filing/job start. I am wondering if anyone knows what flexibility there is (if any) if for the petition we provide an official confirmation of marriage, with the intention of providing the actual certificate by interview stage? I’m doubtful but had to ask. We have been heavily considering all possibilities (especially if DCF does not work) so if anyone can give advice or hope with this situation it would be greatly appreciated. I’m worried sick! Thank you so much for your time.
