Anyone else confused with what they did with the UKBA website. I'm trying to get direct information for a fiance visa but everything looks so different and there are so many links, it's just all over the place.

The UKBA was replaced with/renamed UK Visas and Immigration a while ago.  It has just now gone live with the new website which unfortunately is completely different to navigate.

I haven't seen the new site yet - it was still the old one when I checked it last, and I've been out almost all day today.

I'll have to have a look at it in the next couple of days and see if I can figure out how to navigate it all!

Oh my God - I just spent about 20 minutes trying to find the settlement visas (fiance, spousal etc.) on the new site... and it turns out there is no separate section specifically for family-related visas and so only way I could find them was by doing a search!

You know where they've put them? In the Long Visit Visa section!

So, for anyone looking for settlement visas on the new UKBA website, you can find them here:
https://www.gov.uk/browse/visas-immigration/long-visit-visas
(the first link is for initial fiance or spousal visas, the second link is for FLR(M) visas).

God, the new website is terrible. That's all I can say, really.
It is difficult to speak adequately, or justly, of London. It is not a pleasant place; it is not agreeable, or easy, or exempt from reproach. It is only magnificent... the biggest aggregation of human life, the most complete compendium in the world.
