Help! What date to put on application? (intended date of departure)

[Jentobeharrison]

Hi everyone,

Just a quick question. I understand we can apply for a spouse visa 3 months prior to intended date of departure. Upon checking visa processing times, 100% of applications has been approved in just 60 days. In connection with this:

1. Can we put intended date of departure 2 months after submitting the application? If so,
2. What if it took more than 2 months for them to make a decision, what date will they put on visa validity?

Thanks very much!

Such a perfect question, I was about to ask this as I will be applying for my Fiancee visa mid March. Let's both wait for the informative answers, people here are the best to ask to!
