is there anything i need with my fiancee visa checklist?

[lastlid]

the registry office did not allow my fiance to book a marriage unless im there already. is that okay?

This has been an issue for some in the past. It seems that you most definitely need to provide evidence on paper that you are intending to get married in the UK.

Moderator Terpe will probably get back to you on the fine detail on that.

I can only relate my own experience to you and i didnt provide any potential proof of our impending marriage other than stating in my sponsor letter that we would marry within the 6 month time period stipulated in the rules and that seemed to satisfy the ECO. It may well be that the ECO looks at the complete application and providing he/she is satisfied with all the other evidence submitted then the probability of marriage outweighs any doubts that the applicant will flount the rules and a judgement is made on that basis.
None of my submission was in original form nor notarized other than my birth certificate so if u make a good enough case that the relationship is genuine and permanent then maybe the likelihood is that u will be successful and get the visa within a reasonable time frame.

issue seems to have been a stumbling block for SOME couples - yet not for others. You'd think Embassy staff would realise by now, the obvious impracticalities of booking a UK Registry Office in advance of the foreign partner's visa being granted. Malcolm, for instance, mentions he and his [then] bride-to-be successfully applied ... WITHOUT providing this type of evidence.

Precious ... I was married in the Phils - where any such ruling is irrelevant - so it would be would be unwise of me to advise you either way,

Perhaps it might be an if you were to include a letter explaining what the Registry Office told your fiance (I'm assuming the staff weren't prepared to accept even a provisional booking) to present along with the [clearly well-defined] supporting documents accompanying your application.

Menwhile, I would like to take this opportunity to you to our site ... and of wishing you all the very best on the 11th.
