Fiancee or Spouse's visa ? How long ?

[drsquirrel]

As Kimmi mentioned the confusion was me typing ILR not FLR. FLR is supposed to last up to the 2 years before ILR.

UK gov sites don't even call it a spouse visa anymore.


The above he claims it's going to be expensive, but then its going to cost the same for the visa to settle here. And the GRO is like, what, £60? (and £60 for the ceremony, which is option). its either £60 or £30 for one or both.

You see, your confusing yourself and us lot by going off in all directions.

One minute you talk about Visas then suddenly, in the next sentence, your talking about the Ceremony fee.

I suggest you STOP!!! and do some research on this forum by hitting the "Search" button on the little green bar near the top of the page, then come back with any questions. You've made yourself look an idiot so far by steaming into this forum and telling everyone whopping great porkies. I guarentee if you use the rather splendid search function first, you'll get the answers your looking for.

Also did you see right at the top of the page?:

BEFORE POSTING A QUESTION: Your question has probably been asked before, so please use the SEARCH FUNCTION, as we grow tired of answering the same question again and again. Also read Pete's site at http://www.british-filipino.com/

cost well you shouldn't need to apply for FLR if your on a spouse visa (unless you entered the uk more than 28 days after your spouse visa was issued, you need to apply for FLR if your on a fiancee visa within 6 months of being in uk and being wed.

so i don't see how spouse is more expensive , becuase the next stage for both visa's you need to pay and apply for ILR. so a spouse visa is cheaper, unless i've missed something

I too am at the beginning of this journey that many of you have been through.

I am going back to marry my GF there and wait to collect the marriage certificate before coming back here to work. I will wait for her to get the spousal visa before coming to UK.
Is it necessary for me to go back there again before she flies here?
I don't want to waste anyone's time if this is all documented already.

Is there a webpage in this forum (or some other web page) that explains on a task-by-task basis what needs to be done from beginnining to end?

Thanks

People have in threads listed all the steps and pete has a very good site.

But it varies for example my wife had ID but needed to get a passport. others will have a passport and others like your Mahal will need to get ID so it can vary.

As you know our beloved goverment love to change things for the latest new idea so the process is very fluid.

Don't worry mate even if your a toffe im sure plenty on here will help you out.

In fact your helping already as your documenting the latest info for the next wave after you. It really does change that fast im not kidding.

If you ask ten members with a spouse visa each application would have been slighty different sue to the constant adjustments and what have you that happen.

For your good self get your Mahals id and passport sorted out, then start on the wedding while keeping all the evidence of you communicating.
