Hi Everyone,
I can't begin to thank everyone on this site, the information on here provided all the information I needed to prepare and submit my visa application. The information provided by Joppa in particular has been of utmost assistance.
I am an American who is planning on marrying a UK citizen. My fiance and I have been together for 5 years, living and working in the UAE. I have come back to the USA and she has gone back to the UK. I have already applied for a Fiance Visa and submitted my bio-metrics. We have included all the relevant documentation and are well above all the required financial thresholds.
My question was aside from receipt and photo of the engagement ring, we did not give any information on the wedding (aside from mentioning the venue and date in a question in the VA4FA appendix 2). The reason is we could not guarantee an approval of the visa, hence we could not risk putting a deposit or booking an actual date. Also I would like to see the location along with my partner to make a final decision on the venue and date.
Will this be an issue with the visa approval, considering everything else is well documented and in order?
