Please answer some questions and I will try to help.

Where were you and your husband married?
Is your marriage regarded legal in the country you were married in ?

( I am just confirming, I am sure your marriage was properly done in the country it was performed, and that is why judge gave you residence card).

Do you have the court order that judge issued?

Hi mr lookforward
Thanks your reply

We were married in Netherlands in 2002 the marriage was not regarded legal because my husband has divorced according to muslim law his ex wife and she was in africa we went to the netherlands town hall as we want marry official but they refused because the ex wife was still in the list as wife he took a lawyer to remove the list but that last too long and he moved in UK and i came with six month visit visa because i don't had Netherlands passport the divorce case was finalized but we were all ready in UK our lawyer from netherland sent us decree absolute now we were married here last year November the judge gave me residence card because we had durablerelationship after many evidence he decided to gave me the residence card because we have four children together and we had proof that we lived together all these years

ok, that clarifies that matter a bit. But to really establish the start of your "residence period" as recognised by the judge can only be found by looking at the judgement. But in all likelihook, if you lived with your husband for two years minimum before arriving in UK, then your residence should count from the date you arrived in UK. But once again let me stress, the wording of the actual judgement is important to establish all this.

If you children were born in Pakistan after you became a British citizen, then your children are automatically British and you can apply for their passports at British High commission in Islamabad.

You marriage in Pakistan with your 2nd wife in not legal under the UK law. Once you get divorced, you can get her to UK as your fiancee and when she is here you can get married at register office. There could also be a possibility to re-do the marriage in pakistan and go through the proper procedure.

Also keep in mind then whenever you sponsor her to come to UK, you minimum income must be £ 18600 before tax.

thanks for the answer.but how could my children born in pakistan with my 2nd wife which you said is not legal according to uk law.
when ever i apply for my son british passport they will ask all detail of marriage and my wife.
so if i give them all detail of my wife then how can i get re marriage?
will they ask me that you were not divorced at that time when you get marriage in pakistan  but separated with your british wife.
but some people here in uk said that your 2nd marriage in pakistan not in uk and they know that muslims can have more then one wife at the same time.
but acc to uk law you can not have dual marriage in uk so she is not here.
these are the question which are confusing me.
is anybody have any answers for these questions please.
thanks

I have give you the accurate answer. There exists no other answer that exists. I don't think you have full knowledge of UK law, and I am 100 percent certain that you haven't got the slightest idea as to how two different sets of laws about marriage (pakistan and UK) interact. Yes, muslims can have more than one marriage in Pakistan, but you do not need a visa for Pakistan do you?
You need a visa for UK, and you must follow UK law for the marriage to be valid.

As far as the passports for your kids in UK is concerned, then who told you that you must be married to their mother? Well, the law doesn't say that, and I haven't mentioned it either. You yourself are cooking stories in your head and asking questions based on village stories.

but if you check the requirements for the registeration of children born in pakistan they ask for marriage certificate mother id card etc.
thats what i mean i am bringing my 2nd wife in uk after my divorced finalised here so still i cant tell them the exact date of my marriage.

You are not registering any children. Children are already British Citizens, you do not register someone who is already a British Citizen.

What do you want to justify? Mother's name? I am sure for a child to be born, there has to be a mother. Unless recently men have started to give birth.

You need to get the passport application forms, fill them and return them to BHC with the documents they need.

Enough of this insult. This forum is to give a gentle advice so that other people may benefits from it. If you want to post a topic, do it completely not just little and that will go along way in giving accurate advice. Stop insulting my Mrlookforward. He is so good in terms of giving advice on immigration matters. I thought I was good but when I saw his advice on this forum about certain issues that I can't even attempt to advice, I surrender. For the Last time, please stop your insult. Ali akber, you don't know anything but you are insulting someone who knows million times more than you do.
