Compare that little hurdle with other bigger hurdles of fiancee visa then you will get the best reply based on your circumstances. On fiancee visa he cannot undertake any job, cannot access NHS, his ILR clock wont be started until getting spouse visa (FLRM) and you have to pay again the heavy application fee.
Hi seagul thanks for your reply, the visa is actually for me, my partner is British citizen. I do understand the extra costs and time involved if I have to switch from fiancée visa to spouse visa, but would you say that I have the same chance with both types of visas? As I have this feeling that spouse visa may be a stronger case Legally than fiancée visa?seagul wrote: ↑Wed Oct 30, 2019 12:25 amCompare that little hurdle with other bigger hurdles of fiancee visa then you will get the best reply based on your circumstances.

yes and more straightforward
Legally, the only evidentiary difference is proving intent to marry vs showing you are already married. As you are not already married, a fiance visa is your only recourse. If you marry, your only option is a spouse visa. Legally, they confer different rights but carry the same burden of proof. You are not more or less likely to be granted either, as they are tick box exercises. Tick the boxes? get the visa.
Hi physickate, thanks for your reply. Even Given my overstaying history? Would they still carry the same chance as long as I tick the boxes for either visa?

This seems to me to be a less straightforward option considering the long overstay - the OP is not legally 'living' in the UK. This is similar to when the HO don't consider multiple visit visas to not be 'living' in the UK...
