Just Like to say Hello

Hi Everyone, I'm Andy otherwise known as Poetry Man the fiance of Mrs Poetry Man 
We certainly had been pulling our hair out trying to figure all the visa's and costs out, then with a couple of hours of Lori joining this group, I was bombarded with options.
Now I must admit, when she told me how much easier and cheaper things would be if we married in Texas first, I immediately starting looking at flights and possible dates, Fortunately the money to book them is sat waiting too.
I know from all I have read so far on here that you will all try your very best to answer any questions and guide or advise where we need it.

So may I say a big THANK YOU to you all in advance

My advice is to listen to and trust the experts in this forum and you will be ok. Our first visa application before I found this forum was refused. And after much help from the experts (namely, ksand24, KFdancer, and larrabee), our 2nd application was successful. I cannot thank this forum enough, especially as the advice is FREE. We were also convinced by the experts to marry in the US because it made the process so much simpler and cheaper as well.

Also, the process is very stressful and nerve wracking so feel free to rant her as well.

Good luck with your application! And congrats on your decision to spend the rest of your lives together!

Hi Andy, welcome!  It's always fun to have both halves of a couple on the forum!   

Hi Andy and welcome!

I support what Masonjohnsmum says.

The people on this site are experts and they got that way through experience and keeping up to date with all the requirements of the visa journey.  When they tell you something - believe them.

What an adventure the two of you are starting on! 

When are you thinking of getting married?

And ......

Getting married in the UK just adds time, money and stress. 

If you do get married in the States and want to plan a celebration back in the UK - it would be better to wait until you get your spousal visa in your hot little hands before you book anything.  That could be something you could do when you are both together in the UK.

Welcome!

Definitely just want to agree that you should definitely listen to the advice given here by the experts and to definitely not book ANYTHING in the UK until you have Visa in hand Cannot stress that all enough.

Welcome to the forum, Poetry Man!  I'll chime in to echo everybody else: listen to the experts, and if you meet the requirements to sponsor your partner, we'll guide you through a successful visa application.

Haikus are easy
But sometimes they don't make sense

On a more serious note, welcome to UKY and congratulations on your engagement! 

We don't often get the UK half to also join in - it's lovely to have you here!
