Traveling ouside the UK (Fiance Visa)
« on: July 28, 2005, 11:20:56 PM »
Hello everybody
I will be getting my fiance visa about around Dec 15th and going to the UK on Jan 8th. We are planning to get married around Feb or March.  My Fiance is a filipina there and we are planning to go to the Philippines on April. The Embassy said on email to me that as long as my visa is valid, I can travel anywhere in the world. Even before applying for the FLR visa which planning on to after we get back. Has anybody traveled with a fiance visa other than the US? Just making sure. Cause they said If I get married and appy for the FLR I cant travel anywhere for like 6months to a year. Also when I apply for a fiance visa here in the US, Do I have to have a wedding day to the embassy with my other documents? Thank you guys.
Posted my FLR (M) on May 9th 2006 and got my visa on Jun 2nd 2006.

Your fiance visa is multiple entry so you can leave and re-enter as often as you want.

I've never heard the no-travel-for-6-months thing before.  The only thing that matters is when you apply for your ILR you have to have been in the country for a certain amount of time without large breaks (like a 6 month jaunt back to the US). 

Not sure what you mean with your other question about a wedding to the embassy.  Do you mean the British Consulate? 
Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man’s abode; the snow melts before its doors as early in the spring. Cultivate property like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Turn the old; return to them. Things do not change; we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts…

Ty for your reply. Yes I mean the British Consulate.

I don't believe you have to provide the Consulate with a wedding day but you do have to marry within six months of being issued your fiance visa.

They do ask what day you plan to be married on, but I don't think they expect you to have one set in stone and they wont refuse you if you dont have one set with date,time,place and etc,  especially with a registry office since you can't have a date planned to be married there until both people are settled in the UK.

You can provisionally book a wedding date at the registry office without being settled in the UK. It's just an informal reservation, and does not replace giving notice, but you will have something in writing that proves your intention to marry.
