i got a cheque from the taxman the other day for £500+ for paying too much tax 2yrs ago

settlement visa is the same cost for a spouse or a fiancée steve
but if your your misses comes on a fiancée visa once wed you need to apply for FLR(m) granted for 2yrs then ILR, while on a spouse visa (granted for 27 months) she could apply for ILR after shes been in the UK nearly 2yrs, saving you applying for FLR(m) £475 by post and i think that increases soon !.

it only cost like £250 to process a visa app, yet they charge £475-£840 for a visa

it cost me more than £4,000 for visa's for the wife and kids to get citizenship
