Disadvantages of fiancé visa

[arts99]

Some of the points that seem as main disadvantages of applying for a Fiance visa compared to a Spouse visa for coming to UK; please add or correct if wrong:

1. Time:
Takes longer to get settlement in UK; 6 months as time spent on fiancé visa does not count towards settlement.

2. Financial Costs:

• a. Work not allowed while on fiancé visa

• b. An additional set of quite high fees; based on current fee levels it could be: £1033

3. Number of applications:
Have to make three applications requiring detailed information and documentation.

Responses/discussion on this shall be helpful to many I believe!

Thank you
