US to UK - From fiance visa to biometric residence permit

I could not find a place that outlines the process of obtaining a residence permit. I just recently got my residence and put together all the steps that I went through. I hope people can find this helpful.
Cheers!

My fiancée is a British citizen and I am a U.S. citizen. We wanted to get married and settle in the UK.
Mainly the 2 websites that you will be visiting a lot are:
UK Border Agency http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/ and UK Border Agency, VISAS http://www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk/
Here are the steps that I took to obtain my residence permit in order to stay and work legally in the UK.

1. Apply for entry clearance, form VAF4A:
Apply for “entry clearanceâ€

That is probably the most usefull posting i have read in all the hundreds of postings i have read. Thanks for explaining the fiance process so clearly!!

Much appreciated

For an ordinary person, your article is more informative as its in plain English and easy to understand......however the UKBA website is a lot more detailed.....to much for a layman but ideal for more experienced people.

I might make this a sticky as it would help a lot of people.

Thankyou for writting this article
