Hello all. I'm due to get married in February 2017. We then plan on gathering all our visa evidence as quickly as possible so my wife can move here and start our life together. One crucial piece of evidence is obviously the marriage certificate. However I've been seeing online that this can take SIX MONTHS to come through. Is this right and if so is there anyway to speed up this process?? I am using up all my leave next year to be in the Philippines for 1 month for the marriage and so the prospect of not seeing my wife for 9 months (when you include the 3 month visa processing time) just seems unbearable! We were hoping to be together for our birthdays in July. Thanks for any advice.
