From a Fiancee Visa to Spouse Visa in the UK

Post by Luna10 » Wed Jun 19, 2019 8:58 pm

Hello!

I´m in the UK with a Fiancee visa. I just got married a couple of weeks ago and we want to apply for a spouse visa.

1- Am I correct in thinking that we need a "switch" from a Fiancee visa to a Spouse visa?

2- The application form asks for 6 pieces of documentation with our names and address on them. As I´ve only been in the UK on my Fiancee visa for a few months I don´t have documentation with my name and new address on. Has anyone had this problem before? How did they overcome it?

Any help much appreciated

1- Am I correct in thinking that we need a "switch" from a Fiancee visa to a Spouse visa? Yes, a 2.5 year FLR(M) visa.

2- The application form asks for 6 pieces of documentation with our names and address on them. As I´ve only been in the UK on my Fiancee visa for a few months I don´t have documentation with my name and new address on. Has anyone had this problem before? How did they overcome it? Not relevant when switching from a fiance visa. You simply are required to submit evidence of joint address as current proof of co-habitation.

Any help much appreciated

Sorry but filling the form we came across this questions about 6 piece of proof of address and we aren’t sure what to do. We have to mark that we will provide the documents or we can’t countinue with the form online 🤷🏻‍♀️. We were wondering if this is the right form to fill in for switching from fiancée visa to spouse visa.

Simply tick and provide anything you have. FLR M is the correct form.

Hi!

Do I need the Appendix 2 to switch from a fiance visa to spouse visa?

No! The FLR(M) form has the whole section for the financial requirement.
