    Question ..will I go back to the Philippines in applying for spousal visa???

    I just arrived here in the UK last December 2011 under fiancee visa. As far as I am concerned, fiancee visa has only 6 months duration of stay and if you'll not marry within that span of time, you will be ban from the country. But I am gettiing married on April then we are planning to apply for spousal visa right after the wedding....will I apply it here in the UK or I need to go back in the Philippines and apply for it??? What are the requirements needed for it??? Is it just the same with the fiancee/marriage visa requirements which I've been through already???

    April as you are here in the uk on a fiance visa providing you get married within the 6 month timescale then you will apply for a spouse visa here in the uk

    Once are married you will need to apply for further leave to remain (FLR) before you fiancee visa expires. Do a search on the subject on here there are alot of good advice on here for what are the requirements

    Question Spousal visa vs. FLR???? Confused...

    Hi, I would like to ask if anybody can help me with regards to my confusion regarding the application of the spousal visa or the FLR after the wedding. Are those 2 just the same? How long will i take to have that?
    My wedding is on April this year, and my fiancée visa will expire on June. Do you think I still have time to process my FLR?
    Is FLR can work the same as the spousal visa -- like I can work or study legibly? Need your informations guys for those who have ideas or experience on this stuff.

    if your in the UK on a fiancee visa, then you must marry and apply for FLR(M) (Further Leave to Remain) before your Fiancee visa expires.

    no it is not the same as a spouse visa, a spouse visa is issued to people who are already married and are applying from outside the UK.

    as long as UKBA get your FLR application before your visa expires, it doesn't matter if your visa then expires while they consider your application.

    you cannot work until you have been granted FLR, as for studying you will probably have to pay international fees untils you've had at least ILR for 1yr.

    N.B. ... these two threads - and respective responses thereto - have been duly merged, since they both relate to the same topic:

    " .. will I go back to the Philippines in applying ... "

    and

    "Spousal visa vs. FLR???? Confused"

    Hopefully - this way - there's no longer any need for confusion!

    Apply for Spousal visa right after your wedding. Better to prepare your documents as early as possible and submit them after your wedding.
