As many of you have already done, or know exactly what I am talking about, I am in the process of getting the information together and doing all of the fun things required for the UK fiance visa. I am applying in December and hopefully, if all goes well with the expediting World Bridge service, I will have it back in a few weeks!!!!
I just wondered if anyone has been in this situation or knows of someone who has. I understand that on a fiance visa you ARE NOT able to work in the UK for the sixth months (or until you get married, and change to a spousal visa, get residence card, etc.), but do you think there would be an issue if I was working remotely from the United States?
My boss is allowing me at the moment to go and visit my fiance (on a temporary basis for now--just a formality) for the next 3 months and work from home. I will be doing skype calls, still doing everything from the US and getting paid in US dollars. Assuming this goes well, when I come back in December/January, we are going to revisit this and make sure it is going well, then I will make a permanent "working from the main office at home employee." If I am still doing this while on the fiance visa, will it be a problem?
I will have no access to UK public funds, and my fiance makes well over the required minimum (18,600GBP) anyhow. My work operates on a global scale and DOES have branches over in the UK, but they do not want me working there until some time possibly in late 2014/early 2015, at which point I will get paid in GBP then.
Is that a good thing to say on the visa? Should my boss write a note? Or is there a good way to say it? Let me know!!!!! Thanks!!!!!
