The UK fiancé visa application can be complex and demanding. We can guide you through the Home Office process.
Joining your loved ones in the UK is life-changing. While the fiancé visa application process can be complex and demanding, you want to start the next chapter in your family life quickly and with minimal disruption and expense.
A fiancé visa allows a British citizen or a person with UK settled status to bring their fiancé(e) to join them in the UK with the intention of getting married within the six months period of the visa.
If your fiancé is returning to the UK to settle, you can apply for a UK fiancé visa to join them at the same time.
You may be eligible to apply for a fiancé visa if you satisfy the following criteria:
As part of your application you will need to demonstrate that you meet the visa requirements, which include:
You are able to apply for leave to remain as a partner once the marriage has taken place. After you are married, you may apply for further leave to remain in the UK beyond the six-month period of the fiancé visa. After 60 months of lawful limited leave as a partner, you are then eligible for indefinite leave to remain. After 12 months with indefinite leave to remain, you are able to apply for naturalisation.
Only after a fiancé visa is changed to a marriage visa are you able to start work and hold the same rights as your spouse.
Children of the relationship who are under 18 years old are allowed entry to the UK as dependants, and can make their application at the same time as the applicant fiancé.
