After a day passed in exhausting thinking fiance and I had come near to a decision. I researched for info about getting married in UK (if ever they grant me the fiancè visa) as what I learned (hoping this time i have not misinterpret again what I read) once I get in UK I need to apply for COA and if COA granted we need to give notice of marriage and register and all this processing will take time and money. Since we are getting married next month and everything is settled (families are already booked to fly over here and everything) the worse scenario is we have to withdraw the fiancè visa application and apply for spouse visa and wait for three months approx. Now, that is the first option which means the advantage is we get married and apply for the visa if visa granted then major problem is solved cause I can get there and start working also. The second option, wait for the fiancè visa (this is if they grant me) and fly over and do again the abc of getting married. Since we have no certanties that I will be granted a fiancè visa we also have to consider that the fiancè visa might get rejected. If the fiancè visa got rejected then it is a real mess! Because, wedding cancelled (another money lost) and we need to do the abc marriage again to be able to re-apply for spouse visa here. I am still waiting for the reply from the embassy and within this week if I got no response I will withdraw the fiancè visa and go on as what we have decided.
This is a real mess...next time I will be more careful!
Thanks guys I really appreciate everyones advice it really helps us to think and consider a lot of things...Again thanks.
