I am on spouse visa when I came here in UK. For me, it has advantages in many ways. Made me settled for two years without worrying of applying for FLR if i did have fiance visa which would then expire after 6months. Made me look for job having no problem as I'm eligible to work in UK unlike having the fiance visa only. As what my husband said, wedding costs in Phils. is far too cheap compared to UK wedding costs no matter how grand it is.

Good Luck Queenbee!
