Thank you so much!!CR001 wrote:Correct.
Getting married in the US would save you the cost of one visa application as you would apply directly for a spouse settlement visa and wouldn't have to apply for the first FLR(M) extension. However, you may want to weigh that up against your flight costs.naazz wrote:so in short either take fiancee visa route or get married first. apart from that there is no other way to get here on a spouse visa directly right?

This enables her to marry in the UK within 6 months and after the wedding (before the visa expires) apply for her Spouse Settlement visa on form FLR(M).
After the 6th April the fiance visa fee will be £1,195.
The FLR(M) visa will grant your wife 2.5 year limited leave. The fee from 6/4/16 will be £811 for a postal application or £1311 if the application is submitted in person. Bear in mind that she will be unable to work in the UK until her FLR(M) visa has been granted. In-person applications are generally processed on the same day, postal applications can take up to 3 months.
At the time of applying to FLR(M) she will also have to pay the NHS surcharge of £500 (post 6/4/16 fee) online before submitting her application.
Are you earning at least £18,600 per annum?
