Thank you both for your very helpful advice.

Is the best way to contact UKVI over the phone? I can't seem to speak to anyone when I call...

Any advice on getting in contact with them?

It seems extremely harsh if the ECO ignores all docs dated post online application submission date.

I could cancel my online app and resubmit it, but then I would have to ask for a reimbursement. Potentially could end up £1,200 down...

What do you guys think?

From the link you have posted I infer that the date of my online application submission is the cut-off date.

Does that mean that all the documents I have organised that are dated after that will not be considered!?

Hello. Does the date of the online application submission (for a fince visa) act as a cut-off date for all the submission docs? We have already submitted our online application, but are organising the other documents and we have been informed the 6 month bank statements and payslips must be from the...

Hello. Just finalising the documents for our fiance application (I am the sponsor). I have a couple of questions: 1) are documents considered that are dated after the date we submitted the online application? (29th January) We will submit the six months banks statements based on the 29th January sub...

Hello, As the sponsor of my fiancee's visa application I need to submit 6 months of bank statements. My fiancee is about to go back home to apply for the visa there. I have a number of transactions entering my account during her visit with her name on them. Should I explain these ingoing transaction...

Hello, I am the sponsor for my fiancée's visa. She is in the UK on a visitor's visa. I have to submit 6 months of bank statements as part of the application. 1. I have been regularly in my overdraft over the past 6 months. 2. There are multiple transactions entering my account with my fiancée's name...

Hello, I have seen conflicting information online about the certified copy of passport required as a sponsor to a fiancee visa application. 1) can a solicitor certify a copy of a passport used in the sponsor's docs for a fiancee visa application? 2) should it be a copy of each page of the passport, ...

Hello, my fiancee and I are currently compiling all of the documents that we need before she returns to her home country to apply for the Fiancee Visa. I have a couple of questions: For proof of accommodation: 1) I was going to ask my landlord to submit a letter verifying that I am his tenant, vouch...

Casa, thank you very much!

Thanks.

So just so I am clear.

You are saying I do not need an explanation why over £1,250 has entered my account addressed to my fiancée whilst she has been staying with me in UK?

I simply need proof of my earnings over the last 6 months via payslips and 6 months of bank statements?

Thank you!

Thanks for the quick reply. I am more asking in terms of: While my fiancée has been visiting me in UK I have received multiple transactions on her behalf from a friend to help with living costs. These transactions are all entitled for 'my fiancée's name'. Will these transactions look suspicious in a...

Hello, When submitting the application for the Fiancee Visa. my fiancee has to submit 6 months of my bank statements. 1) What is this for? 2) If there are entries into my account from a 3rd party with the name of my fiancee on them e.g. £220 for Alice. Will I need to explain these entries? Many than...

But my fiancée has to complete this form as part of her application. So do we just put no for both of these questions?

Hello, I am a British citizen. My fiancee is from non-EU. She has visited me 3 times on a visitor visa and each time she has lived with me, where I have taken financial responsibility for her. We are applying for her Fiancee Visa. In the Financial Requirement Appendix Form of VAF 4A it has: Q 1.16 I...

I have heard about some registry offices allowing provisional bookings.

Is this a good idea?

What else can I organise in order to show we are committed to getting married?

many thanks!

Hello, My fiancee and I are in the process of organising all of the docs she will need before she goes back home to apply for her fiancee visa. Her flight is at the end of Feb. She is currently visiting me on a Visitor's Visa. As part of the application, and also because we want to have everything o...

Hello, My fiancee and I are currently completing the application for her Fiancee Visa. She is currently visiting me in the UK and is planning to return home at the end of February. There is a section which requires you to submit the last 5 visits to the UK. However, it will not allow you to put in a...

Another query I have is, although I do meet the minimum financial requirements to get married, I don't have a huge amount of extra money to spend on a wedding etc. Will our application be looked on less favourably if the evidence we have for our engagement and ceremony are not very expensive? e.g. c...

Bathanza, thank you.

But where are these detailed statistics you speak of?

I am still inferring from what you said that you think it is best to avoid the potential risks and wait to Give Notice once my fiance has returned with her fiancee visa?

What do you mean by "She should not be spending more time in the UK than she does in her home country"? She is effectively 'living' in the UK on a 'visitor visa', and effectively 'circumventing the immigration rules' if her aim is to settle by applying for a fiance visa. This is not permit...

"So residing and not visiting. What is her nationality? She should not be spending more time in the UK than she does in her home country." She has been here on 2 consecutive visitor visas. We were a bit lucky in that we left and re-entered the UK at the end of the first 6 month period (Sep...

By marriage visa i mean Fiancee Visa - as in she has the intention of remaining in the UK after we are married.

She has been in the UK for 6 months in 2015 and from March of 2016 until now.

Why would it be pointless to Give Notice before she leaves?

Hello, Just to explain my situation in brief. My fiancee is a non-EU citizen. We met over 2 and a half years ago in her home country. Last year she visited the UK on a short stay student visa for 6 months and this year on two consecutive 6 month visitor visas. She has lived with me on every occasion...
