have sufficient means and accommodation to maintain both the parent and any spouse or children of the second marriage who would be admissible as dependants. The provisions of this and the preceding paragraph apply to grandparents of persons settled in the United Kingdom as they apply to parents.
Husbands
50. The husband of a woman who is settled in the United Kingdom, or who is on the same occasion being admitted for settlement, is to be admitted if he holds a current entry clearance granted to him for that purpose. An entry clearance will be refused if the entry clearance officer has reason to believe:
(a) that the marriage was one entered into primarily to obtain
admission to the United Kingdom; or
(b) that one of the parties no longer has any intention of living
permanently with the other as his or her spouse; or
(c) that the parties to the marriage have not met.
Where the entry clearance officer has no reason to believe that any of (a) to (c) above applies, an entry clearance will be issued provided
that the wife is a British citizen.
51. A passenger who holds an entry clearance issued under the preceding paragraphs should, subject to paragraph 13, be admitted for an initial period of up to 12 months provided that leave to enter shall not be refused on grounds of restricted returnability or on medical grounds.
Fiances
52. A man seeking to enter the United Kingdom for marriage to a woman settled here and who intends himself to settle thereafter should not be admitted unless he holds a current entry clearance granted to him for that purpose.
An entry clearance will be refused if the entry clearance officer has reason to believe:
(a)
(b)
that the primary purpose of the intended marriage is to obtain admission to the United Kingdom;
or
that there is no intention that the parties to the marriage should live together permanently as man and wife; or
(c) that the parties to the proposed marriage have not met.
Where the entry clearance officer has no reason to believe that any of (a) to (c) applies, an entry clearance will, subject to the maintenance and accommodation requirements of this paragraph, be issued provided that the woman is a British citizen. An entry clearance should not be issued unless the entry clearance officer is satisfied that adequate maintenance and accommodation will be available for the fiance until the date of his marriage, without the need to have recourse to public funds.
