Fiance (E) Visa UK

Immigration Rules with regard to fiancé (e) visa changed on 9 July 2012 and new rules apply to any application made on or after 9 July 2012. An application as a fiancé(e) can be made to the British Embassy/High Commission/Consulate for entry clearance as a fiancé(e) in order to join a person present and settled in the UK and get married in the UK after arriving in the UK as a fiancé(e). If application is successful, the applicant will be issued with six months leave to enter as a fiancé (e) and marriage must be registered in the UK within these six months to apply for further leave to remain in the UK on the basis of marriage. If an application for entry clearance as a fiancé (e) is not successful, the applicant will have a statutory right to appeal against the decision of the Entry Clearance Officer (ECO) to refuse the application and the notice of appeal must be filed within 28 days of the date of receipt of the refusal letter.

The applicant will have to meet the requirements of the Appendix FM of the Immigration Rules to qualify for fiancé (e) visa.
