Transfering money between spouse accounts

[ALifeWorthLiving]

Hello. I am looking at bringing my Fiancee into the country on a spouse visa. We have over the £63K requirement but alot of it is in her Chinese bank account (our savings from our time living and working in China). I want to transfer some of that money from her Chinese bank account into my UK bank account.

Will that be an issue? Because it will take a few days when it won't be in either of our accounts.


Also, how much of an issue is it that we aren't married? We are looking at it but we'd much rather move straight into a spouse visa and get married in the UK afterwards than jump through all the extra layers of bureaucracy (and cost) of getting married first. We've been in a relationship for 3 years and have proof of that going back 2.5 years (Visitations to each other's family, rental documents etc).

Preferably let it be stayed there until the visa approval.
