We didn't apply for a fiancée visa because that forced us to get married within 6 months, and meant that she could not work. I take offence at being told by the Government when we should get married. We always planned to get married but when the process became so farcical we decided to get married in Mexico (where we have a home). This is still the plan. I don't like being told by anyone how to live my life.John wrote:Don't understand. Why, if you are getting married in April isn't your partner applying for a fiancée visa, rather than a UPV?
Now when she gets to the UK she will need to apply for a CoA ... Certificate of Approval to Marry ... cost £295 .... something that would not have been necessary if the correct visa had been applied for.
It also means, given a CoA takes 1 to 2 months to be issued, the April marriage plan, presumably in the UK, will be difficult, especially if towards the beginning of April.
Or is the marriage going to be in a Church of England Church?

I would like to enquire if I qualify for the 2 year residency requirement of the Unmarried partner visa for the UK?
My partner is a British National working in the UK. We have been together from April 2006. I have been here in the Philippines waiting for the processing of my annulment and my annulment has just been denied this month Feb 2009. My partner has stayed with me in the Philippines for 2 to 3 weeks on 4 occasions since then, and I went to the UK once, 4 months stay in UK since then.
My partner has been sending me money monthly to support myself and my family.
We are communicating by voice and text chat on Yahoo everyday from 12:30AM to 8 AM Phil time, 4:30 PM to 12 mn UK time Mon to Fri. and longer on weekends.
