why cant i marry her, bring her here on her visitors visa and do this... http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/partnersandfamilies/partners/husbandswivescivilpartners/applying-inside-uk/ says clearly there u can apply for the marriage one, if ur already in the uk on a different immigration catagory? ???

One final thing.... Is there any website that lists everything you need to include in a marriage settlement visa? from start to finish, ie bank statements, photos, letters, house details etc? I know what form now but i have no idea what i need to include. using a company to help u thru it costs just...

Yeah, i guess im resigned to the options now. Get married there and they stay there for 2 months ish whilst she applies, then come back with her. Or Get married legally on one of my short trips there, start the application, and hopefully have it done by the time we have our wedding ceremony. Then fl...

On the uk border agency website i found somehting which says, apply if u dont know which form

and there it says you can apply from abroad as the partner or spouse of a resident in the uk, for 2 years

cant she apply for that before we're married? seems to cover both doesnt it?

Ok, so ive just been thinking about all thats been said, and how you cant apply for a marriage visa if on a visiting or work visa, and you would HAVE to leave at the end of the 6 months and then apply from back in your own country. but. what if you dont need a visa to visit, As a costa rican nationa...

ok and what about marrying legally before she moves here, and doing the application from her own country for the marriage settlement one.

all the same charges apart from the fiance visa right?

Fiance visa = £750* + After marriage in UK 2 year Further Leave Spouse visa FLR(M) = £850 At the end of initial 2 year visa + £1350 if applied for in person, or £972 postal application. (ILR) At the end of 3 years stay as spouse British Citizenship = £836. *If you marry in DR you would pay one...

The option of fiance visa doesn't appear to have been mentioned. She could apply to enter the UK as your fiance, marry within 6 months and then apply for a Further Leave to Remain visa from within the UK after the wedding, which under current regulations will grant her a 2 year spouse visa. She wou...

Ok, so i have 2 choices. 1. Marry then come back here with her as my wife but as a visitor for 6 months. Then she would have to return to DR and apply fromn there. or 2. Marry legally before the wedding, then apply whilst im back here and shes there. Go back for the wedding once application granted ...

Let me try differently. Options: 1. Apply for entry clearance as a spouse. To apply for entry clearance in this capacity (spouse) you two must first be married. So "I want to marry her there, then fly back immediately with her to live here" does't seem possible because as per statistical ...

She cannot fly straight back after the wedding unless it's as a visitor. For her to settle in the UK with you she has to apply for a settlement visa in her home country. So either you both stay in DR until her visa is approved, or you fly back to the UK alone and she follows once her visa is approv...

When would she need that settlement visa? Before she travels to UK to live with you (long term or permanently). would she need it before we are married so its ready for when she comes An application for entry clearance as "spouse" can only be made after you two are married. e UK[/url]. I ...

When would she need that settlement visa? To visit? or just once we are married? and if so, would she need it before we are married so its ready for when she comes, or can she come here first then apply after a week or two once she is moved in?

Hi there. Im a UK citizen and my fiance is from Costa Rica but resides in Dominican Republic. We plan to marry at the end of the year but i have NO IDEA where to start with all the paperwork. As far as im aware she doesn't need a visa as Costa rican nationals are exempt from this. Ive checked this o...
