Confused on how to proceed after Marriage visa

[meb4ne1]

Hi,

I'm kind of lost. I have tried reading through https://www.gov.uk/remain-in-uk-family/eligibility but can't seem to figure out where my situation fits.

My wife is a US national. She applied for a 'Join family living permanently in the UK' (or marriage/fiance) visa. She arrived in the UK last month and we plan to get married at the beginning of April 2015.

Once we get married, I do not know how to proceed. All the documents and guidance notes talk about at least 2 years of proof of relationship (https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... Routes.pdf)

I'm confused how can bring 'six' documents of joint names in a few months. It'll be really helpful if someone has a list of documents that HO accepts. I'd also like to know which form to apply on as well.

I'm a ILR holder and have applied for British citizenship (awaiting approval).

Thank you.

2 years of proof is for unmarried couple so it won't apply to you as you're getting married.

Make sure the visa your partner is applying for allows her to get married in the UK.

I'm confused how can bring 'six' documents of joint names in a few months.

1. Put your names on tenancy agreement.
2. Council tax on your names.
3. Gas and electricity bills on your names.
4. Water bills on your names.
5. Joint Bank statement.

wont take more than 2 months to get these documents.

I dont know what you can use as the 6th document.

You don't need the joint documents. This is for spouse visas being extended at the 2.5 year stage showing co-habitation or for unmarried partners as evidence of a 2 year relationship. You do however have to provide evidence of adequate accommodation as the marital home and financial documents showing that you meet the yearly financial minimum income level. Basically, the same evidence you provided for the fiance visa application.
