Marriage Visa - same-day service

[submon]

Hi Guys,

I am from India and my fiancee is from England. I applied for my fiancee visa in February from Kolkata and, thanks to God's grace, received the visa this month. We are getting married in mid-August and plan to apply for the marriage visa soon after.

However, I wanted to ask if we can opt for a same-day service for the marriage visa. If we apply through post, we would need to wait for at least months for the result, which is not something that we would be happy with as I have a job offer and a delay in getting my rights to work could see me lose the job.

So if we apply for same-day service, can we book for it before we get married? Or do we need to first get our marriage certificate and then book for the same-day service?

Any advise or suggestion on this would be hugely helpful.

Cheers!

You can book the PEO appointment before the marriage for a date that comes after the marriage. You just have to make sure all of your paperwork is ready in time for that appointment.

Thank you very much for your reply. Much appreciated, indeed!

Is the marriage visa process as tedious as the fiancee visa process? I mean, we, of course, have to show our marriage certificate and photos from the wedding as well as my fiancee's up-to-date wage slips and bank statements, but unlike the fiancee visa, is there is a certain degree of certainty over the marriage visa?
