What nationality are you? What is your current immigration status in the UK (e.g. what type of visa do you have?)

what type of visa does your wife currently have?

she can come to the UK for up to 6 months without a visa, although she wouldn't be able to work legally it would at least give you a chance to explore the relationship and decide if you want to get married - for other nationalities you can't apply for a spouse visa if you have a visit visa... but au...

either way Fiance or Spouse, you will need to prove you can support her without recourse to public funds... as you are currently receiving public funds your application will probably be denied

anyone know if you need to submit a Certificate of No Impediment (aka a certificate of freedom to marry) for the sponsor in a Fiance Visa?

we failed to get married in thailand due to a chicken up by the company we'd enlisted (they got the vietnamese documents wrong)... so I am now applying for a Fiance Visa instead and we aim to get married in the UK as soon as possible... I've submitted all the docs and emails from trying to get marri...

usually they won't accept savings only, my other half had a tourist visa refused on the basis that I wasn't in work at the time even though we only planned to come back to the UK for 2 weeks and I had £20,000 in my savings at the time, they still said I hadn't provided proof I could support us both...

it always used to be that the office in HCMC would accept "fast track" applications only and even then you could be "invited" to hanoi for an interview, as of September '09 the consulate in HCMC no longer accepts any applications, they say this is temporary but... http://ukinvietnam.fco.gov.uk/en/vi...

oh ok... just everyone else I've ever known go to hanoi to hand in the paperwork, have always been given an interview the same day (as in, told to wait right there until their name is called, the most recent was about 4 months ago)... but then everyone else I know has been going for a Visit Visa not...

Hi Guys, my Fiance has just been in to the British Consulate in Hanoi, Vietnam to have her biometrics taken, hand in the paperwork and fee, and I would have presumed to have an interview (as this is what my friends other halves have had to do for visit visas)... now, I am aware that the paperwork fo...

yeah, I just had this problem too, I just put a date about 10 years in the future

According to the website you only need to provide "one or more of the following", so your tenancy agreement should be enough (although everything you send will help) also, for suitability, call your local housing standards department as they can send someone to do an Entry Clearence Housing Inspecti...

I've just seen a thing about getting your local health department to inspect your accommodation to give you a certificate for entry clearence... is this a requirement for getting a spouse visa? or will I get by with the evidence I've listed about (namely a document written by and signed by my parent...

I've been told it takes up to 3 months to process a settlement visa, if you made your application at the end of July it could be the end of October before you hear anything.

thanks, been worried sick the last week as I've known 2 other friends get refused for really silly minor things

...We've not had a problem at all when we've been travelling together.
