IMMIGRATION

This Order extends the referral and investigation scheme (“the Scheme”) for sham marriages and civil partnerships contained in the Immigration Act 2014 (c. 22) to proposed marriages and civil partnerships in Northern Ireland. It also makes a number of small changes to legislation that applies to England and Wales and Scotland where those changes are necessary for the amendments made by this Order to work or where amendments are also required in respect of Scotland but it is expedient for those amendments to be included in one order rather than contained separately in the parallel order that is being made to extend the Scheme to Scotland (the Referral and Investigation of Proposed Marriages and Civil Partnerships (Scotland) Order [S.I. 2015/396] (“Scotland Order”)) .
