Do you intend to work in the UK?

Whats the correct answer to this? I know the answer's no for the fiancee Visa until FLR is received, so do we answer
Yes - after we are married and FLR has been successfully applied for.
or
NO - Not until we are married and FLR has been successfully applied for.

Any thoughts?

Over the years, this question on the VAF4 form has been regarded as suspect by fiances because fiances are not allowed to work, and the natural reaction is to treat this as a "trick question". To be fair, however, the VAF4 form is designed to accommodate a large variety of applicants and many of these are entitled to work from the moment they arrive in the UK. More to the point, this information is valuable in assessing a couple's financial viability, and this is why the question appears on the form.

If you have a skill, or if you plan to work after you are married, you can indicate this by checking the "YES" box and including a statement like "...Once my immigration status permits work, I will seek employment as a hairdresser (etc)..." and provide a summary of your experience and credentials.

As I recall, my wife's answer was:

"Yes, I would very much like to resume my teaching career in the UK - subject to my *visa being granted."

*It WAS! [And fairly quickly]. But in the event, her degree evidently did not match the standard required for registration with The General Teaching Council For Scotland :doh ... even though it had been sufficient to satisfy the British High Commission in Manila.

Sorr to hear that arthur. Hope she can retrain here.
My fiancee has no established career, but is hoping to gain more qualifications once here and eventually work with children.
