Here is an extract from the UKBA website for Fiancee visa:-
■you plan to marry or register a civil partnership within a reasonable time (usually 6 months);
■you plan to live together permanently after you are married or have registered a civil partnership;
■you have met each other;
■until you are married or have registered a civil partnership, there is somewhere for you and any
dependants to live without help from public funds (see Rights and responsibilities for more information on what this means); and
■you and any dependants can be supported without working or needing help from public funds.
If we allow you to come to the UK in the category of fiance(e) or proposed civil
partner (not as a visitor for marriage or civil partnership), you will normally
be given permission to stay here for 6 months. You must not work during this time.
After you have married or registered your civil partnership, you can apply to
stay here as the husband, wife or civil partner of a settled person.
If we approve your application, we will give you permission to live and work here for 2 years.
Near the end of the 2 years, you can apply to settle here permanently if you are still
married or civil partners and intend to live together.
The really key points are:-
Provide evidence that you have both met and that the relationship is genuine and ongoing.
You would need to provide evidence such as travel,photographs showing you together and correspondence between you both demonstrating the relationship.
Evidence of sufficient finances which clearly shows that your fiance can support you.
Don't forget you will not be allowed to work until after you are married.
Your fiance will need to provide bank statements for at least the previous 6 months
As your fiance is retired he will need a statement from his pension scheme and/or P60's.
In so far as your fiance can meet the financial requirements from his pension and savings he does not NEED to be working.
Accommodation - Your fiance needs to have adequate accommodation
If he owns his home, he needs to provide details such as a certified copy of the deed or details about any mortgage he has (Land Registry entry and details of mortgage payments).
If he is renting accommodation he will need to provide the tenancy agreement.Also a statement from the landlord (or estate agent) showing agreement that you can also stay there.
Any tenancy agreement should have at least 6 months before it expires. If it does not then he will need to provide a statement from the landlord indicating that it will be renewed under existing contract terms.
Hope this helps
