Good morning!
My employment visa expires 26 October 2016.
But instead of renewing it for another 2 x years, I'd rather be sponsored by my working husband.
Unfortunately our UK marriage certificate is not yet attested, and I'm told it's no longer possible to do this at the British Consulate or Embassy - instead it has to be sent/couriered to the UK by one of the many services available from a Google search of "UK marriage certificate attestation UAE"
However, I am a bit nervous about sending the original certificate off... My friend said that she used a company that just required a clear scan of the marriage certificate, and they sent her back an attested [u'>certified copy[/u'> of their marriage certificate. But this was used for registering their daughter's birth - not for spouse sponsorship.
Does anyone know if for spouse sponsorship the attested marriage certificate HAS to be the original? Or will a certified copy suffice?
TIA
