"Silly" or not, I'm speaking from direct personal experience, from within the last month. We got a fiance visa without any evidence of a marriage being booked, because you can't book a wedding whilst someone is not in the country.drsquirrel wrote:The guidance notes, under INF4 states this
You must show that you plan to marry. So anything can help. You saying "you cannot have..." is a bit silly, they will really deny someone because they plan to get married, when the whole point is so you can get married in that 6 months?How do I qualify to join my fiancé, fiancée or proposed civil partner in the UK?
You must show that:
* you plan to marry or register a civil partnership within a reasonable time (usually six months)
* you plan to live together permanently after you are married or have registered a civil partnership
* you have met each other before
* there is somewhere for you and your dependants to live until you get married or register a civil partnership, and you will be able to live without help from public funds, and
* you and your dependants can be supported without working or claiming any help from public funds.
You will be allowed to stay in the UK for six months but without permission to work. When you are married or have registered a civil partnership, you can apply for a two-year extension to your visa and, if your application is granted, you will be allowed to work. Near the end of this time, you can apply to stay in the UK permanently. Before we can give you permission to stay in the UK permanently, you will need to pass the 'Life in the UK' test.
I also have other guidance notes from UKVisas (on paper, I cant find it online right now). That states...If you are a fiancé(e)/proposed civil partner please provide details of ny plans that are in place for your marriage/civil partnership ceremony.
Frances, the HO is asking for plans to marry or register, not evidence of booking.frances2 wrote:"Silly" or not, I'm speaking from direct personal experience, from within the last month.
