So - Once we are married and I start the process right away, about how long will it take do you suppose, given that this isn't "the busy season"? Any other advice is also appreciated! My original post was geared more toward Fiancee visas, so now I need all the info you can provide on the marriage visa pretty please -
So far that I have personally found out...
You will have to show that you can support yourselves for a few months with out governemnt support. The best option is to have a savings account with atleast 3 months activity.Show any kind of documentation regarding your relationship...pic's,cards,emails letters. you will both have to write a letter regarding your intentions etc. if you have been there to see him or vice versa include the ticket stubs. have his relatives or yours write letters. put your invitations, marrige paraphanalia etc in there. we are having to prove we are moving becuase of love, not just trying to jump in.
From all the advice that I have gotten on here...its a long process. And it seems over 130 days is a norm...but atleast you have a leg up on me...my uk hubby is here illegally now...meh
so good luck and any info you get SHARE!!!! we all need to stick together and get it done! woohoo and congrats again <3
