The Elegant Fiancé Visa

When you get a Fiancé visa, you can come to the UK for up to six months, plenty of time to get married at your dream venue. Your dependent children can also come with you, so your little ones can be bridesmaids and ring bearers. Make sure that other family members and friends coming to your wedding get the right visitor visa if they don’t already live in the UK.

 

After your wedding day, this visa is a pathway to your happily ever after because you can convert it to a Spouse visa once you are married. This visa is renewable as many times as you want, so long as your relationship continues, and comes with fantastic freedoms to live, work, and study in the UK. After you’ve been in the country for long enough, you may be able to apply for permanent residence and citizenship. Discover this visa’s requirements and application process below.

 

Requirements of the Fiancé Visa

Before you can access this elegant visa, you’ll need to prove that you meet the eligibility requirements. Both you and your partner need to be at least 18 years old and not closely related. For example, the British Government does not allow you to marry your niece and nephew.

 

Other requirements include the following. Prove that you meet them by providing suitable documentation that has been translated into English or Welsh if it is in a foreign language:

  • Your relationship is genuine. This visa is not available to those who are getting married purely to come to the UK.
  • You have true intentions to get married within the six-month validity period. This visa is usually not renewable.
  • You have intentions to convert to a Spouse visa once you are married and live together in the UK. You will need to show that appropriate accommodation is available.
  • You and your partner won’t need state support to survive, shown by a combined income of at least £28,000. This requirement is waived if your UK-based partner is a claimant of certain types of benefits.
  • You have properly divorced from any previous weddings or civil partnerships, or your former partner has died.
  • You have at least a beginner-level standard of English language skills, as shown by achieving the A1 level or higher according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
  • You have had a tuberculosis test if you are coming from a high-risk country.

 

Completing your Fiancé Visa Application

Your pathway to a Fiancé visa will be most elegant, not requiring appeals or re-applications, if you properly complete your Fiancé visa application. A fantastic immigration lawyer from our team at Immigration Advice Service can guide you through the steps detailed below:

  1. Confirm that you meet all of the eligibility criteria.
  2. Use the UK Visas and Immigration website to access the Fiancé visa application form. Complete and sign it.
  3. Upload your completed application form and submit your application by paying the application fee. If your application was made inside the UK, the fee will be £1,321, which rises to £1,938 for applications made from abroad.
  4. Book an appointment with your nearest visa application centre. Officials will use this appointment to take your biometric information: fingerprints and a photograph.
  5. Attend the appointment.
  6. Attend a visa interview if you are asked to attend one. Such interviews are usually held if officials have questions about your application.
  7. Wait for processing or pay for the Priority or Super Priority Service to have your application processed rapidly.

 

The usual processing time is two to three months, but it can take longer depending on the state of the Home Office backlog and if your application has discrepancies that need to be cleared up. After the processing time has passed, you will either receive a visa or get a refusal letter. You will find out if you have the right to appeal in the refusal letter. You may also launch an administrative review if you think errors were made by the official who processed your application.

 

Your pathway to a UK Fiancé visa can be completed once you have received the visa. You will be free to travel to the UK, get married, and start your life in the country with the person that you love. Make sure to properly convert to a Spouse visa or Civil Partnership visa, whichever is relevant, so that you are not in the UK illegally and can begin to earn permanent residence.
