Do you think applying for a visitors visa is appropriate? Or worth doing?Frontier Mole wrote:The number of US turn arounds is tiny. Usually because they get smart arsed with the immigration officer and / or can't give a credible set of answers when interviewed. If his story and your story are the same, the evidence is there to show he can support himself (with your help of course), accommodation is sorted with a letter or evidence to show he has somewhere to stay it should not be a problem. A return ticket with a fixed return date helps but is not essential. The chances of being refused are very minimal and I would suggest you make up an entry pack with all the information that is needed and go the normal visa waiver route.
The problem with US & UK individuals is the visa waiver entry system. It allows them and us to fly between the respective countries without a pre entry clearance visa. This is great for holiday and business trips where there is every notion of return. Not so great when someone turns up stating they will be staying for the maximum period allowed. It brings (too) many questions to mind about intent. Why are they actually here and why do they want to stay that length of time congers’ up a multitude of variables that are hard to ignore. Apart from the advice above how else can you avoid the problem?
You can apply for an entry visa in the USA, if all you say is true and he has ample funds it will almost certainly be approved. No issue at point of entry thereafter. This is the belt and braces approach and really is overkill.
The other option is to apply for the fiancé visa now. At the end of the day it will amount to the same thing. If life in the UK is not for him then there will be no loss. I guess you will move to the USA?
