Marriage Visa - To the UK - From the US

Post by Tidus » Wed Jul 02, 2008 6:38 pm

Hi , thanks for reading this post.

My fiancee lives in the US and I live in the UK. The position we are in is relitively simple. She lives within the US and we aim to marry in November this year. The marriage shall take place within the UK. She will be entering the UK in October.

The question i have is :

Which visa would be appropriate, for her to come over, marry and then apply for the UK Marriage Visa? I know already of the Fiancee Visa, however id like to know if there are other possibilities. Obviously the tourist Visa would suffice, however i saw this:

"If you have a visa valid for six months or less in the UK you cannot change status to a spouse visa."

Thus, the tourist Visa would be inappropriate. We need time to marry and apply for the Marriage Visa. So, we need a Visa in the mean time.

Any ideas and suggestions would be fantastic and taken aboard by us.

Thanks again for reading, much appreciated.

:D

Thankyou for the reply

Ok, so i just need to know.

Would it be possible to bring her here on the 90 day Visa. Without the tourist Visa or any other Visa, marry her then apply for the Marriage Visa? During the application process for the marriage Visa, would the Immigration officials allow her to stay on some form of Visa until we are rewarded a Marriage Visa.

Basically she could come to the UK casually, get married and apply for a Marriage Visa then?

Any light on this issue would be much appreciated.
