- Tier 1 (Post-study) category to close on 5th April 2012
On 29 March 2011, the government announced the proposed abolition date for the 'certificate of approval' scheme. The scheme will end on 9 May 2011, subject to approval by Parliament.
At present, any migrant who is already in the UK and is subject to immigration control must apply for a certificate of approval before they can get married or register a civil partnership in this country (unless they are getting married within the Anglican Church).
The government is now seeking to remedy the declaration by the UK courts that the scheme is incompatible with Article 14 of the European Convention on Human Rights (read with Article 12). Additionally, changes made following rulings from the courts have weakened the scheme, and it is no longer an effective method of preventing sham marriage.
