If he has earned at least equivalent to £18600 during the last 12 months in Hong kong and has job offer going to commence within 3 months after arriving to UK then his overseas income can be counted. I am sure you must be aware that you have to apply spouse visa from outside the UK.Merimgerian wrote: ↑Thu Oct 31, 2019 6:14 amDear all,
My British fiancé and I reside in Hong Kong.
We are to move to the UK in January under financial requirement 3B category A. My fiancé will start his job in February. We would like to get married in February and reapply for the spouse visa.
It's not entirely clear from the post, but it seems like they are applying for a fiance visa first (using category A) and then switching to the spouse visa in the UK once married (using category B). In this case I think the question relates to how to meet the financial requirements for the spouse visa with the sponsor working in the UK but having been in the UK for less than 6 months. My opinion on this is that there will be no issues both because the sponsor had a job offer meeting the financial requirement starting within 3 months of returning to the UK and because overseas income can be included to meet the total income requirement of category B. Anyone feel free to correct me if I have misinterpreted the situation.
Fiancee visa will also need to apply from outside the UK and financial requirement will have to be met.
Dear geoeng, yes you got it right. Apologies if i was unclear!geoeng wrote: ↑Fri Nov 01, 2019 8:23 amIt's not entirely clear from the post, but it seems like they are applying for a fiance visa first (using category A) and then switching to the spouse visa in the UK once married (using category B).

We also have collected other evidence of our relationship like photos, proof of trips together, living together, our conversations etc. She still insists that there is a way for us to give notice of marriage from outside the UK, even though when you call to give notice of marriage or try to do it only it is impossible, as I am a Russian national, we both don't live in the UK right now, and we haven't fulfilled the criteria of living 8 days in at our future UK address...On 9 May 2011 the law regarding foreign nationals marrying or forming a civil partnership in England and Wales was changed. The law now requires foreign nationals to give their notice of marriage/Civil Partnership at a designated register office at the same time as their partner.
Prior to the new laws coming into force we had been advised by UK Visas that Entry Clearance Officers (ECO) at British Embassies were not permitted to request evidence of pre booking of notices of marriage/Civil Partnership and this was detailed in DSP 13.9. The situation has changed and SET1.18 of the instructions used by Entry clearance officers indicates that they are aware of the need for both parties to be in the United Kingdom before arrangements can be made to give a notice of intention to marry.

The requirement for a fiancé visa is that you must show intent to marry. This does not necessarily require you to give notice. You could demonstrate your intent through ring receipts, email enquiries for photographers etc.
Additionally, you may provisionally book a marriage/CP at a registry office and they can provide you with proof of this (email correspondence/receipt). There is no requirement for you to have given notice (or be a UK resident) at this point. I found my local registrar to be quite supportive with this, allowing us to amend the booking to suit the visa.
Best of luck!
1. Yes, a selection of screenshots like that is fine.Merimgerian wrote: ↑Tue Nov 05, 2019 8:25 amHi everyone,
I have a couple of random questions regarding settlement visa:
1. WhatsApp conversations
Does the immigration want to see all of them? Can I provide maybe pieces of convos from each week?
2. Is FLR (M) and spouse visa the same thing? Sorry for the silly question, just couldn't find the answer anywhere.
Also, i was just wondering how possible is it to get a marriage visitor visa and stay in the UK afterwards? I have read that you cannot extend your stay, but if you are marrying a UK national there must be a way..
Thank you for your time!!
