fiance visa Pakistan

I've applied for a fiance visa on the 26th November 2014 I'm a bit worried because ive applied for a spouse visa and its been refused due to this being my 2nd islamic marriage but my 2nd marriage took place without getting a u.k divorce. I now have a u.k divorce but would like to call my husband ( according to my islamic marriage we are husband/wife) as a fiance due to according to the u.k law my islamic marriage is invalid.

Cut the story short will my fiance visa be accepted even though I've applied for a spouse in the past

What's this got to do with Investor visa?

I may be wrong but an Islamic marriage is valid in the uk. When a spouse comes over you can register your marriage too. Saying that

why didn't you apply for a spouse visa? Instead you applied for a fiancé visa? Surely if the Islamic nikah was not valid then all the spouse cases would have to be fiancé applications lol

Where in OP question does it mention Investors visa? for you to ask her this question?

The relevant part is highlighted in red. That is where the problem is. The OP got married for a second time without going though the divorce for the first marriage. As such, the Home Office won't recognise the second marriage as it pre-dates the divorce date for the first marriage and they have all the information on record since the OP did apply for a spouse visa for the second marriage which was refused.

Fiance visa is most likely to be refused.

If however she applied for a spouse visa the 2nd time after getting the uk divorce, wouldnt immigration control still refuse the spouse visa on the basis that the 2nd marriage in the eyes of uk law is not valid as at the time of 2nd marriage she was not free to marry?

so would be good to know which way to best proceed??
FIANCE or SPOUSE

The main difference is that for fiancée visas you need to document your relationship and show that you have made arrangements for an official wedding to take place in the UK. After the marriage your wife would have to then apply for leave to remain as a spouse.

This happens fairly frequently. Apply for a fiance visa and 're-marry' in the UK.

Hi Salma
Am in the same boat with exactly the same situation.i have been advised to apply for Faince visa as well.
Did your husband get fiancé visa from Pakistan?
My wife's spouse visa was refused because my divorce case still in the court at the time of nikkah in Pakistan.
Pls advise
