Get married and then she switches visas as
your depedant - whats the big deal here?

Its the same process you went through with your FLR, you will submit the same documentation you submitted for your extention - latest wage slips, bank statements, tenancy agreement etc. The only extra document will be your marriage certificate.

Raj, you probably realise this already, but just in case, both you and your fiancée need to obtain a Certificate of Approval to Marry ("CoA") before the two of you can go along to a designated Register Office and give Notice of Intention to Marry. About two weeks after that Notice is posted the legal permission to marry will be issued. That permission to marry is valid for 12 months. In other words, no problem applying for the CoAs in the near future, assuming you have not already done so.

Unless it happens to be the case that the marriage is intended to happen in a Church of England Church, in which case none of the above applies.

I am also assuming that the two of you will marry in the UK.

Thanks John,

I am exploring the easiest option for switching my fiancee wp to my dependent visa status.

I am keeping both the options option i.e. to marry in UK and/or to marry in india.

In either case A formal wedding ceramony will take place in India.

please suggest which option will be the best one!
