Hi Guys. I am planning to get married in May to my fiancee. I am fairly certain i meet all the requirements for the fiancee visa, but we intend getting married in Philly. I then want to leave Philly within a week of getting married and bring my new wife with me back to England.

If i wait until we are married to apply for a spouse visa, it will take too long to process, so would it be acceptable to the authorities for us to obtain a fiancee visa, get married, travel to England on the fiancee visa, then upgrade the visa once in England? Or would you recommend an alternative route?

Cheers
