find a job, as you've already mentioned you will look for, you really need steady money coming into your account.

stay with your father if he will sponsor your accommodation, don't waste money on rent and utils bills, especially if you have little.

no set amount of money you need, but a figure of around £95 a week has been used for a couple, after paying rent and utils bills. so you see why it be better if you stayed with your father.

yes the embassy can do checks, so don't lie about anything..

i don't think there is a set period you have to be working, but you need 6 months of bank statements and payslips would help.

so plan now, find someone who can lend you some money, ask your father about staying with him, and find a job, 6 months from now apply for a visa.situation your in, is not good, and you have to minimise your chances of refusal as much as possible, and the risks she will need recourse to public funds.


you lived with her for more than 2 years ? do you have evidence you lived togther ? bills in both names etc ??
No as all of the bills were in my name. Would it be easier ie criteria wise to apply for a Spouse Visa (of course I will have to travel there and marry her) rather than take the Fiancee visa route?
