american married to brit

i need help...i came to england july/2002...went to new york city nov/2005 for spousal visa...married here may/2003....i havent done anything legal since...do i have to do anything to my visa/passport/etc. after we were married?  i know this sounds stupid but i can handle that part...i am just worried i should have taken another step required by law....help, please  jsb1955@btinternet.com

i meant went to nyc nov 2002 for fiancee/spousal visa...married may, 2003....my passport is stamped 'type'-marriage...

What is the visa you got in NY? Is is Further Leave to Remain for 2 years? if so at the end of the two years you are supposed to apply to the Home Office for Indefinite Leave to Remain.

from your post it sounds like you never got leave to remain after your fiancee visa expired- is that right?  You were supposed to apply for 2 years permission to stay after you got married and then after that expired you then could have applied for indefinite leave to remain (permanent residence).  If you've been overstaying on a fiancee visa for almost three years, things could get very sticky- have you been working?

This is definitely one for garry or victoria...

What does the most recent stamp in your passport say?  The words.  It won't help to tell what it looks like because those visas have changed appearance several times since 2003...

Also, in what part of the UK are you now?
