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 anif 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 toyou to our site ... and of wishing you all the very best on the 11th.
