Hello All,
I have been reading up on this topic and am trying to get my head around the available options available to us, but I would really appreciate to get some opinions and assistance from the people on this forum.
I am a British citizen and met my partner (around 15 months ago) whilst she was in the UK on a Tier 5 (YMS) visa. Her visa is set to expire at the end of Aug 2019 and, unfortunately, we recently learnt that her employer is no longer willing to apply for a Tier 2 visa for her position.
We had always intended to marry, but with these latest developments it seems that we may have to do this earlier than we thought if she is to remain living and working in the UK.
From my understanding, we will need to give notice of our marriage at a designated registry office who advise this to the HO and it may take upto 70 days before this is granted. Assuming this is eventually granted, it looks like we have to get married within 1 year.My question is, can she apply for a spouse visa during this period? (i.e. following the confirmation of our notice to marry).
It would be ideal if this was possible as it would give us a lot more time to budget and plan for the kind of wedding we both want, rather than a relatively rushed and low-key event.
Would be great to hear your thoughts.
Many thanks
