Thread: Do you need an affidavit and solicitor stamp on your settlement visa to the uk ?

I have spoken to several solicitors who are all telling me I do not need
this paper unless I am planning on getting married abroad (which I am not)

I copied a notarized letter inviting my partner to come to the U.K and get married
within six month's.

The local solicitor told me she could stamp and sign this paper that I prepared (for £5)
but she confirmed she knew nothing about immigration law.

I phoned the British Embassy in the U.K and they told me that I should
phone the British embassy in Thailand... They told me they cannot assist with
visa questions.

The local registra have told me they do not offer proof of single status unless
you are marrying abroad and the best they could offer would be a letter that
confirm's I have never been married according to their records .(This does not include the last 18months as there is a back log in their office)
....So it's pointless.

This cloak and dagger game is becoming tiresome.
