hi morrisde, have you read through the partnership migration booklet(1127), it lets you know what criteria you need to meet. do you have any kids with your partner?this can make a difference to the 12 month relationship rule. no use applying until you have lived together for 12 months otherwise. not sure how long it takes for this visa to come through. i have recently seen on another site a couple having a spouse visa granted in 8 weeks, not using an agent(uk married to an aussie). but if you are going to do it yourself, make sure you understand what you need to do, there is a fair bit of work involved, and alot of it, you have to do, not the agent.eg, statements. have you looked into the perspective marriage visa, same booklet??good luck
