Fiancee or Spouse's visa ? How long ?

[joebloggs]

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.
