Fiancee Visa

[G_angel]

Hello, One simple question, my current tier 4 expires by the end of the month, is there any possibility of applying for a marriage visitor visa/fiancee visa while in the UK or do I need to go back to my own country and apply? My partner is British and we have been together for about a year. Thanks

You would need to apply for a fiance visa from home country. Once here and married, then you can switch to spouse visa.

Marriage visit visa cannot be applied in the UK because it is a visit visa. Apply from home country, come here get married and then you have to leave again. You cannot switch into any other category with the marriage visit visa.

You would only be able to apply for a spouse visa on FLR(M) in country if you were married.

Unfortunately, you've left it too late to marry in the UK and switch to a spouse visa. To clarify, in order to marry you would have to register at a Home Office designated Registry office. The Registrar would then be legally bound to notify the Home Office of your intention and they could then extend the standard 28 day notification period to 70 days in order to interview you both if they choose, before the wedding can take place.
