Query on Marriage Visa & Switching from Tier 2

[MrBarry465]

My partner and I, she is a British national - are planning to marry in December. Currently I am on a Tier 2 Visa Sponsored Visa and have been for 4 years, I've got an Australian passport. We have notified the registrars office of our intention to marry and forms have been sent to the Home Office.

If all goes smoothly and we do marry in December, what Visa am I then on? My intention is to change from a tier 2 to a family visa, in order for greater flexibility with work. However, I am not sure on what visa this then becomes once married in the UK - considering I am already here on a work visa.

Any advise would be appreciated.

FLR(M). Your immigration clock will be re-set to zero, putting you on a new 5 year (2.5 x 2.5) route to settlement (ILR).

You will also have to pay the NHS surcharge. Subject to Parliamentary approval, this is expected to increase from £500 to £1,000. This is addition to the FLR(M) visa fee of £1,033 for a postal application.

Hi MrBarry!

Just wondering on if you have heard from the Home Office in regards to your marriage license? Ours have just been deferred today, and was curious at the processing times (although they could be varied, of course!)
