Hi Nayumi and welcome to the forum...we got all our own stories to tell and thank you for sharing yours. my situition is a bit similar with yours i was thinking to lodge my fiance visa application without the decree absolute will include only letter from his lawyer stating that the divorce is on going..i keep thinking about it all day if i will lodge my application next week or just to wait for the decree absolute...i been searching here in the threads if someone did the same thing before but can't find one...im worrying that without the decree my application will be refuse and i don't want that to happen...but i want to be with my fiance so much..:Brick::Brick:

Given the cost of the visa application I don't think it is worth applying for a fiancee visa if your still legally married. The purpose of the fiancee visa is to allow you to come to the UK to get married which you must do within six months, so they are unlikely to issue a visa if you're not free to marry yet.

Hi Welcome, good luck!

if you can get your lawyer or judge to state in wiriting that you'll have your decree absolute within 6 months, then you could try and apply for a fiancee visa.

... :iagree: with Iain's post. Speaking for myself, I know very little about divorce proceedings ... particulary those applicable to other countries. However, I believe that, in the light of the time these things seem to take to finalise, and ... as Iain points out ... the cost of UK Settlement Visas, it would be sensible to defer any application until a more definite outcome is reached.
