Welcome aboard....

Now let me digest this paragraph of yours.......

You both are looking to get married and are trying to get out from applying for the proper Fiancee/Spouse visas..... By getting the Tourist version.....

I well understand your motives, like many others on the forum will, but am afraid it isn't the correct course of action.....
I strongly recommend, for marriage purpose, to apply for one of the other 2 options.....
Do not play around with the rules and do not try to fool the ECO at the Embassy, if found out, you can kiss any further visas goodbye..... You might even make other applicants life that little more difficult....

Besides I suspect that this site is monitored by the various officials, and if you posted your real name and surname the red flags will already be up......

Again welcome, this site is a wealth of information, use the search facility if you looking for anything in particular and you will find answers to most of your eventual questions.
