THE WURZEL----Hi Stuart, I am new to the site and have read your post. I am in the same situation as your fiance...was married in 1989 and was also separated in 1989, the marriage basically last for 3wks only and I have had no contact with him since then.
Me and my partner have decided to apply for a fiance visa, had started our research and stumbled on this issue...
Do you mind telling me exactly what you guys did? I tried to search for the UNMARRIED visa and couldn't find it
I look forward to hearing from you

Hi
Does anyone happen to have a copy of the Spouse visa checklist that is linked on the first page of this posting? The link no longer works and googling for Settlement_sponsored_by_spouse.pdf isn't coming up with anything useful either!

You cannot be denied a visa simply because you're on benefits - you have the same rights as a citizen whether you are unemployed, disabled, working, or very rich and living off your own private income.
Recourse to public funds is your only sticking point - in your case you can show you have adequate funds and both of you are willing to work in future.
If you were refused on some odd grounds that "well, you know, uh, your benefits or employment circumstances might change in the future or your bank could collapse [not impossible!] so you'll have no savings - therefore we're not satisfied you can afford this" is unreasonable - for who can predict the future except people with crystal balls and magical powers?
And that would mean only the very wealthy with funds in Coots bank could afford to marry whoever they wish, wherever and whenever.

True in principle, but you still need to prove ability to support yourselves without recourse to public funds or additional public funds, just the same as every applicant.
Currently you would need to show evidence of £105.95 per week for a couple and £62.33 pounds per week for a dependent child after any regular non-discretionary expenditure.
If the govt actually presses ahead with expected changes it could prove to be much more difficult.
Watch this space!!

Quote: you have suitable accommodation, which is owned or lived in only by you and your household, and where you and your dependants can live without any help from public funds
Question? I live in a nice country cottage with my parents more than enough space for my future wife to have our own spacy room for privacy. The kitchen would be shared with my folks. According to guide lines 1 room = max 2 people apart from under 1 years old child. Can you clarify that my abode would be ok for us both? We also have 2 other rooms which are storage at the monent but will be made smart for when she lives with us.

John take a look here:-

Scroll down to "- Evidence of your accommodation"
You should be fine according to existing rules (which are not planned for any changes)

Hi guys do u think it will be helpful to get immigration advisers to assist in the application documents? My husband had a meeting with a member of this reputable immigration company in the UK and he was charged of £125 for the consultation and if we choose to continue it's going to be £1500.
And since then I've tried harder to look for some info on how to apply and maybe rather than getting their service we can just save it instead. And this is how i came across to this site, i had confidence we can get this done without the advisers. however, i'm nervous. questions like, do we have enough docs when we apply? will these be enough to convince them? so the burden is on me because i convinced my husband not to get advisers anymore.
and here's the documents we plan to supply when we submit our application
2. evidence of your age and your partner's age
o (BIRTH CERTIFICATE)
3. your marriage or civil partnership certificate
(MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE NSO copy and CIVIL REGISTRAR copy)
4. evidence that you were both free to marry or enter your civil partnership, if either of you was previously married or in a civil partnership
o (CNI/CENOMAR CERTIFICATE)
5. evidence that you have met
o (PHOTOS)
6. evidence of your English language ability
o (ENGLISH EXAM)
7. evidence that you can can maintain yourselves and any dependants adequately without needing public funds
o (BANK STATEMENT)
o (LETTER FROM THE BANK)
o (Certificate of Employment if possible salary is mentioned)
8. evidence of your accomodation
o (PICTURES)
o (MORTGAGE TITLE)
o (LETTER FROM LAND OWNER)

Fiancé or spouse
Hi
Could anyone offer me any advice
I met my Filipino boyfriend over 2 years ago when we worked together on a cruise ship, I am a British citizen. We are now a couple and next year want to try and apply for him to come to the uk. I don't know which visa would be the best option for us, is it better to marry in the Philippines and then try for a spouse visa or is it better to apply for a fiancé visa.
I am aware of the fianancial requirements and have a job due to start that will give me the 18,600 salary that I require. I live at home with my parents who have met my partner and this is where we will be living, they have a 4 bedroom house and it would just be the 4 of us living here.
Any help or advice would be very much appreciated
Thanks

Horses for courses..... as the ECO (Entry Clearance Officer) will not discriminate betwen the fiance or spouse route.
If you conform & comply with the regulations and your proof of relationship is strong, then either way should guarantee success.
FYI ... via a spouse visa, can he work immediately upon arrival in the UK.
Under the fiance route, you'll first have to comply with the visa conditions (ie you get married), then you have to apply for FLR (more money !), and only after approval of the FLR can he work.
Hope this is of helpNo man is an island, but Barry is
