Fiancee or Spouse's visa ? How long ?

[kimmi]

Fiancée visa is easier to get then a spouse.

Any settlement visa fiancee or spouse, you will have to pay the minimum £515 set by parliment.

For a spouse visa you will have to do a lot of "proving" you are together, ie you need to live together, this is not easy if you have only just got married in Phils.


What you should do, get her to move here on a Fiancée Visa.
Apply to the GRO (General Register Office) after 7 days (she has to be registered as living here).

You have to do this at larger GRO offices because she is subject to Immigration.

Once you get your permission to marry, you can just apply for marriage, you dont need a ceremony. (Although you could for a small fee have the small registrar ceremomy).

You can then apply for ILR for her to stay here.

You then have the flexibility to get married there, and register it as offical etc. You can just enter Phils on a regular visa, as you are not going there to register an marriage that has alreayd taken place, you are getting there to register a "new" marriage in Phils. You can then have your "Main ceremony".



Other than that you have a lot of proving to do, which for a UK spouse visa, requires you to reside with her.

I am sorting references for the above bits still. But for your comment...

You will be allowed to stay in the UK for six months but without permission to work. When you are married or have registered a civil partnership, you can apply for a two-year extension to your visa and, if your application is granted, you will be allowed to work. Near the end of this time, you can apply to stay in the UK permanently. Before we can give you permission to stay in the UK permanently, you will need to pass the 'Life in the UK' test.

Q. What do I need to do after I am married to a UK citizen?

A. You must apply for your Further Leave To Remain visa from the Home Office.

I am wrong in wording this as ILR, it should be FLR.
(Think to yourself, what do you do after the 6 month fiance visa is over?)

you can only apply for ILR after you've been in the uk 2 years( - upto 28days) on a spouse visa.
