Can I go eea fp route?

[qip]

Hello everyone.
First of all, thanks for everyone who contributed in this forum,plenty of information available,but brings confusion sometimes.
In general:
I'm British citizen, got passport recently. And I want to marry person who is non-eea.
Response by a member below, shows that I can't go via eea fp route, because I work in the UK,and not in a Europe. Confusing heh

I understand that even though I work and live in UK (England) in order to apply for the above permit I have to work in another EEA country for atleast 6 months first as I am from the UK?

Your understanding is correct.

As a British Citizen, you can use the UK immigrations rules and apply for a spouse visa..

Is this correct and therefore mean that the only way to get my fiancee over here is to marry her in the UK?

Second question:
There is no mention on UKBA website about english test for marriage visa ( 6 month, Visitors for marriage or civil partnership ), is this correct?

You may be confusing a marriage visit visa with a fiance visa. A marriage visit visa doesn't require the applicant to pass the A1 English test as they are only given temporary leave for 6 months in order to marry...and then return to their home country. They would be unable to switch to any other visa category from within the UK
A fiance visa grants 6 months leave in which to marry in the UK and then apply for an extension on form FLR(M). This does require the A1 test, unless the applicant is from a country on the exempt list, or holds a BA or Masters degree taught in English.
As you already suspect, you don't qualify under the EEA rules. The fiance visa isn't your only route. You could marry in her home country and apply for a spouse visa from there.

thanks for your reply people.

Couldn't understand the difference to be honest between these type of visas:

Husband, wife or civil partner £826
Fiance(e) or proposed civil partner £826


Assuming I understood it, basically the ways are:

1. Marriage visa (6 months, have to come back, no english test required, ~ £80) -> wife visa ( english test required 33 months £826) -> FLR visa( 30 months, £561) -> ILR -> british citizen.

2.Fiance(e) or proposed civil partner of a British citizen or settled person (6 month initially, english test required, 6 month to marry, don't have to return £826) -> Partner of a British citizen or settled person visa ( 30 month, £826 ) -> FLR (30 month) -> ILR -> british citizen

3. If married abroad,similar to 1. , but no marriage visa required, can apply straight for the wife visa.

Now the big question,
Am I right? Or I messed up again??
