Thanks, I have called today, our bill was less than the £500 but I've paid it off anyway to ensure we are above board.

Do you have any comments on our list of proposed documentation?

We have notified the midwife and are awaiting further instructions.

Following up from my previous message, I have produced a list of documentation that we plan on submitting as part of the application, would you please be so kind as to have a quick review of the list and let me know if there is anything that you think is missing or not necessary to provide? For Clar...

Thanks Obie, It is indeed a very real possibility, however in the meantime we must try our best to succeed with the application. On the .gov website (https://visa-processingtimes.homeoffice.gov.uk/y/hanoi-vietnam/settlement-visas/settlement) it is stating that "Most applications are processed w...

Thanks again Casa,

Do you think receipt of wedding rings can help?

Also, do you think we should actually disclose that my Fiancee is pregnant? Do you think this will help or hinder our case?

Thanks Vinny. I understand that we have to give notice of our intention to marry to a registrar at a designated register office before the marriage takes place. As we are planning to get married once my fiancee returns on a "fiance / family settlement visa) do we have to wait until she has this...

Hi Dan, My Vietnamese Fiancee and I are currently organizing all of our paper work for her Fiancee VISA that she will request from the Hanoi UK embassy. I had a couple of queries regarding your paperwork that I am hoping you will be able to help me out with: 1. From the time line it seems as though ...

Thank you all for your help and advice. It is likely that she will return to Vietnam in coming few weeks to apply for the Fiance Visa and then return to the UK before the pregnancy. One final question regarding the Fiancee Visa: We will get engaged before she leaves the UK but we are unsure as to wh...

Thanks again for your help

Thanks Casa,

Would returning to the U.K. As a fiancé be categorised as a "family visit" on the following page? https://visa-processingtimes.homeoffice ... ietnam/all

If so, it states that 100% of applicants receive responses within 10 days

Would the same process apply when going from a Fiance Visa to a Spouse Visa? (The requirement to the leave the UK to apply for the other visa). Would the Spouse visa classify as a "Settlement Visa"? If so, the .gov website states a process time of 12 weeks, which would be a long time away ...

Thanks again Casa, This means that the Fiance Visa does not entitle you to use the NHS for free? Is it not possible to apply for the Fiance Visa whilst already in the UK? Would she be forced to return to Vietnam before her Visitor's Visa expires and then reapply for a Fiance Visa? If this is the cas...

Thanks Casa for your quick response. Do you know if we were to marry, would the NHS treatment still be chargeable? I also understand that it is possible to get married on a visitor visa? Are you aware of the standard time to process a Fiance Visa? If the baby is born in the UK, am I right in assumin...

Hello all, My Vietnamese girlfriend who I have been with for 10 months has fallen pregnant. She has recently been studying in the U.K on a 2 year student visa (has a masters degree as a result) but has spent the last 4 months in the U.K. on a visitors visa which expires in April. We have just discov...
