Hello, well. if you are based in Northampton, it would appear you entered the United Kingdom, on a Fiancee visa, this entitles you to remain in the United Kingdom for 6 calendar months, at the end of this period, you should have married the sponsor, if not, you must return to your country of embarkation, you are not during this period entitled to work.
You can apply to the Home Office for further leave to remain, with special circumstances such as illness, or other compassionate reasons.
However, you should get married as soon as is possible, having done this, you have no need to apply for a spouse visa, since you entered the United Kingdom on a visa to marry in this country, a spouse visa is not required.
Once you have married in the United Kingdom, you and your sponsor must re-apply to the Home Office for
Further leave to remain.
A Further leave to remain will attract a new application and a new fee, payable by you or your sponsor, this will entitle you to remain in the United Kingdom for up to 24 calendar months.
This is the official wording that is appropriate to your circumstances.
Use Form FLR(M) to apply for an extension of stay in the United Kingdom as the spouse (husband or wife) or unmarried partner of a person present and settled here.
The Link you will need to browse to is here:
http://www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk/ind/en/ho...ation_form.html
You must download the Forms and print them, then provide the evidence in the Form of your local UK Marriage Certificate, and other forms as directed, once having done this, you will need to send them off asap following your marriage to the Home Office designated address in the information.
I hope this helps with your situation.
Best of Luck.
Pete
