2) For a student visa even if they intend to work which is allowed, an applicant should concentrate more on questions abt students.
3) So for this particular question abt a fiance/fiancee visa even if there are plans of working in her future husband's business and will be sending money to her family back home is already irrelevant.
People applying for fiancee visas are never going to be seen as likely illegal workers. As you would have to be pretty stupid to take that risk when you are only a couple of months away from being able to work legally. It could really cause you problems - not sure if they could/would deport you...

Students and tourists are totally different, they often have very little to lose and everything to gain by working illegally.
