I need help in marriage visitor visa

Post by Boudidesert » Tue Feb 02, 2016 10:21 pm

Hello every one,
I and my fiancé we going to get married in uk (southamptonshire) therefore I'm stuck on papers I need to bring with me for my interview which is in the 16th February , I have read every thing in the uk visa website but still can get all info specially on papers I need to translate to English ,I'm Moroccan by the way.
I have set the marriage date and got confirmation email from register office , and paid for it already, done my application and letter from my work detailed with my job and salary ( the problem is I got paid in cash so I don't have bank account) but I have payslips is that all I need or there is more things ? Like my birth certificate or my residence or....? Do I need tb test ? Do I need a cover letter from my fiancé that she can sponsor my stay in uk ? Or do I have to prove that my self?? ,
Thank you very much for reading and helping if possible,
Thank you very much

Moved to the more appropriate Immigration for family members forum.

Your post isn't clear. When you mention your 'interview', what interview are you referring to exactly? If you have entered (or will enter) on a marriage visitor visa (as the heading of this thread suggests), you will be unable to switch to a spouse visa from within the UK after the wedding. Or did you apply for a fiance visa? To make it easy, how much did you pay for the visa?

Edit: Reading through your post again, I'm even more confused. Are you normally resident in the UK as you say that you registered the intended marriage with the Registry Office. :? In order for anyone to give you advice, you need to explain your situation more clearly.

There is no county in UK called Southamptonshire.
- you may mean Hampshire or Northamptonshire.

Thank you CASA for your replay ,
What I meant is :I have just apply for the visa ...(fiance visa ) as they name in the website marriage visitor visa.. Because I'm going there to get married so my interview is just the first one to give them my documents and application I will have to pay 1370 dh ...
And it's northampthonshire sorry for that,
The things I've found in the website is ,
1-letter from my work with details of my job description
2- my risedence
3 payslips or bank details for me and my fiancé
4- application online
5- passport and 1 photographe
6- letter of my plans while I'm there like what I will be doing
7- letter for my future plans like where I entend to live after marriage

I will have to pay 1370 dh
I am still not clear on what you have applied for. Can you list the price in ££ please. I don't know what 'dh' is.

There are two very different visas, and based on which one you apply for depends on whether you can stay in the UK and switch to a spouse visa.

The two categories are :

Marriage Visit visa - costs about £85 (falls under the Standard visit visa group) and you will have to leave the UK. You cannot stay and switch to another visa category.

Fiance Visa - Costs £956 (falls under the 'settlement' visa group) and with this one you CAN switch to spouse visa WITHIN the UK.

This assumes your spouse lives in the UK and is either British or has ILR.

Currently there are just over 14 Moroccan Dirhams to 1 Pound Stirling. This means that you're about to apply for the wrong visa if you intend to remain in the UK after the wedding. You need to apply for a fiance settlement visa @ £956. (around 13,702 dirhams). After you are married there will be another visa fee for FLR(M) of £649 + £500 NHS surcharge. This will grant you a 2.5 year limited leave visa.
As your sponsor, is your fiancee earning £18,600 per year? I don't understand how you have been able to register to marry at the Registry Office in the UK as you are required to do this with your fiancee when you are both in the UK.
Also a settlement visa requires you to pass an A1 level English test from an approved test provider, before you submit your application. In Morocco, this will be in Rabat. You also seem to missing a considerable number of essential documents from your fiancee.

Read through the following links carefully:

Tnx guys for the replays ,
Actually I'm going to leave uk after wedding is done I'm staying there for 3 months only then go back to work here , so it's marriage visitor visa with cost 85ponds as one of the guys said, my confusion is does she have to send me invitation and her bank statements ? Or no need for that in this kind of visa because in the website as I understand they give options either I can show documents I can support my trip to uk or she can support me but I don't know if both documents are obligatory to be with the application ?
My interview in Rabat this 16th of feb do I have enough time or I done this too fast ? I kind of have almost all things done except of documents from her if needed,
Thank you all again and I'm sorry for making you all confused .

Mashi mushkil. Read through the list of documents in this link. You will have to show strong links to Morocco as a reason for returning after the wedding and why you aren't intending to settle in the UK. Section 1 gives information on the documents you must provide.
