i agree. although it used to be... when you are a first timer to apply for a c-visa, you are granted 6months which is now down to 3months. and in some instances they grant 2 or 5 yrs on your 2nd application as there is an option to tick in the form. but i would suggest the same as vbkelly to apply for a fiancee visa as it is more logical if you want to be with your fiancee...hope i made sense![]()
