Home Office policy for return of application fees for certificates of approval
31-07-09 Posted In: Immigration
On 9 April 2009 the UK Border Agency suspended the fee for applications to obtain a Certificate of Approval, a document that is required by many migrants who are subject to immigration control and who want to get married or register a civil partnership in the United Kingdom.
All persons who applied for a Certificate of approval between 1 February 2005 and 8 April 2009 may now be eligible to have the fee returned if they can demonstrate that payment of the fee caused real financial hardship.
