Couple of questions
« on: December 14, 2005, 04:16:30 PM »
Ok I'm not doing anything just yet as I want to know a couple of things first, so if any of you can answer my (probably already answered elsewhere :p) questions, then it would be very helpful  ;D

I'm going to be going for my fiance visa. I'm here in the uk on a visit, and will be going back on January 15th to apply for it in person at the Los Angeles pffice. When applying for the fiance visa online, it says "purpose of visit" which I would put "settlement", correct? But then where it says "type of visit", which one do I put? There's "Husband, Wife, Unmarried Partner, Marriage", and the other two don't apply. I'm guessing I put marriage, but I want to be sure, as most of you understand  :)

And from this computer I can't print. I know it says I can save my work ad come back to it, but do you guys know if there's a point hwere I can save it at a certain point where my boyfriend can access it at his work to print it out, without it geting all messed up or something?

Adnd I hear all this talk about ILR and FLR. I believe I read in another post what it was, but I was still unclear. I'm guessing I need these in order to stay permanently in the uk? I was planning on asking the immigrations officer when I come back, but you know how they can be. So any information on what is in store for me when it comes to these two, after I get married, would be great.

And, since I'm still here in the uk, and I need some sort of proof that I am going to get married, what's the next step in getting that?  I think if I go to a registrar office, I can't get some proof that I will be getting married because I'm only on a visitors visa or something? And I know the visa people need some sort of evidence of marriage.... or will they just take a statement from me and my partner on what we're planning to do? Or is it worth just going up to my local registrar's office anyways since I'm here?

I just want to make sure I get everything in order and I don't mess anything up.

Thanks!

heres the link to all the info u need on the fiance visa,on the bottom is a link for the application

http://www.britainusa.com/visas/other_show.asp?SarticleType=25&Other_ID=320

at any point u can save it,all he has to do is log in with the number it gives u after u saved it

after you get married you apply for your FLR visa (£335 by post/£500 in person) this will be good for 2 years. After that you apply for your ILR visa, I'm not sure of the prices I think its the same amount,(but it could go up in 2 years.)

We got married at the registry office,when I applied for my fiance visa, they didn't need any proof from them,since a lot of registry offices don't provide letters. Just a letter from your fiance stating you will be getting married on such and such date,at such and such place will do just fine

Yes, your visit is for marriage.  Your "fiance visa" will actually say "entry clearance - marriage" on it.  If you're planning a registry office wedding, like EnglandsYank said, you won't be able to get a letter from them.  In fact, they probably won't schedule the wedding until you are legally able to marry in the UK (i.e., until you have your fiancé visa).  As evidence of our wedding plans, I brought a letter from the priest who will be marrying us, and they accepted it with no problem.

*nods* yes what EnglandsYank and StuzGirl said.

As evidence of our wedding plans I submitted a letter from our pastor confirming that the date had been booked with the church.
