Thank you very much for the video. The best one I found on the Internet, even with all the recent changes - mainly about the Financial Requirements - from the Home Office. Thank you, again!
If the immigration officers discard photos, flight itineraries, call logs, etc as proof of relationship then exactly how does one go about proving this requirement? I can think of no other way of proving you have met your partner and are in a genuine subsisting relationship.
I am wondering the same thing. I hope they make a separate video about this
Hi Can you please post the video for Relationship requirements as mentioned in the video
WELL EXPLAINED NOT LIKE THE OTHER FILIPINO BLOGGERS.
Hi Jason, would you consider doing a Spouse visa extension video please?
Hi @slowmarchingband1,
Thank you for the suggestion - I will forward it to the team.
Kind regards,
Jason Capper-Tan.
Great video and channel, thank you very much. Can I apply as a fiance/family visa from a country I'm just visiting with a tourist visa or it mandatory to be in the home country? My home country is harder to go and it doesn't have priority service. Also, because I'm still in the UK with a standart visitor visa, can I apply for Skill Life A2 straight away instead to A1 for the first application and second one to A2 in the extension after 2y6months of the visa being granted?
Hi, excellent videos, thank you so much for the videos.
I'm in the middle of completion of the application and the section where it requires details of my fiance children who do not live with him but pays child maintenance, there is no option to say or select an option.
The option appears to be only what appears to be for the sponsor living with dependants but that is not the case.
I've selected no and added a comment in the additional information section and will provide the Annual review from the child maintenance.
Would selecting no children, invalidate the application?
Would be grateful for any information from your experience.
Many thanks
A. I.
A fantastic and very informative video. I came here from the gov.uk website utterly confused and worried this was going to be a nightmare, even though this is a 9 year relationship with 4 visitor visa's to the UK during that time. You put my mind at ease
Hi @adamblakley3780,
Thank you for taking the time to let us know that you found the video helpful - it is very much appreciated.
All the best with the application.
Kind regards,

Thank you for the video! Can a foreigner (i.e. non-EU person) get a fiance/spousal visa to join their pre-settled EU partner in the UK?
For the financial section. Does my spouse HAVE to get his companies year tax? I thought it’s just his pay stubs and/or a letter from his employer that he’s been employed for x amount of time and make x amount a week???
Hi what are the other requirements if we cant provide the same address or paying the same bills as we are living in UAE as not allowed if not married to live together.we only have evidence as pictures and social media.
Hi where can i find the video for Relationship requirements as mentioned in the video? p.s this is so helpful thanks a lot. !!!! by far very well-made and informative video.
Hi @RayRay-tq4fy,
Thank you for your lovely comment - I'm glad you find the video helpful.
Thank you for expressing interest in a separate video that solely focuses on the genuine and subsisting relationship requirement. Whilst this has not yet been filmed, I'll forward your interest to the team.
Kind regards,

Hello Jason(Migrate org uk)....this video has been helpful and erased some fears and doubts....but need to ask if the 28days to apply for the spouse visa extension is inclusive of weekend days or just working days?(week days)
Great video thanks sir
Can I apply for spouse visa after having 12 weeks payslips as I have started working 1 month ago and showing savings also.
Can you please done on for fiancé visa but as carer who is exempt from threshold
Hey, what about life in the UK test? Is this a requirement for the fiancee visa?
I'm glad I came across this video, it's helpful to watch instead of being overwhelmed reading it all. However, the financial part seems to be more complicated than need be.
Where is exact link on UK gov website for this type of visa ? I see only Family visa there
Hi sir, can my fiancé get the marriage appointment from the home office alone or should I be with him? I’m planning to travel one or 2 days before the marriage day, will it work or not?
Are you able to travel to the UK while the application is processing?
Hi, i am planning to bring my wife to the uk , can i get a student loan during that period and does it affect the financial. Requirement for my case knowing that i am british
If my partner is in PSW visa can she take me to UK as dependent?
Heloo sir sorry to ask you I'm gonna start my fiance visa soon i was just wondering does the age difference make a problem in the application process and in the decision me and my wife we've been in relationship for over 4 years now and we met 4 times thank you ؟؟
Hello,
If fiance has already uploaded all the supporting documents to the VFS website. Do I(the sponsor) still need to post printed copies of the same documents?
Hi @growin2703,
Supporting documents only need to be submitted via one of the document submitting procedures.
Therefore, if the supporting documents have already been self-uploaded via the VFS website, printed copies of the same documents will not need to be posted to the specified address.
I hope the above helps.
Kind regards,
The Migrate.org.uk team.
Hi thanks for the helpful videos, even though i am the sponsor in the UK is it my fiance who books her English test in the Philippines ?
Hi @BrianDawsonLM10,
I am glad that you find our videos helpful.
Whilst you can help book the English test, it will be your fiance that will need to sit it.
I hope the above helps.

Does having a confirm job offer as an overseas sponsor is required?
Hi, how long does an applicant need to be in a relationship with the sponsor before applying for fiance visa?
Hi @staywell5083,
Neither the Immigration Rules nor Home Office guidance states a minimum length of time the applicant must have been in a relationship with the sponsor before applying for a fiancé(e) visa.
Rather, the genuine relationship requirement involves the Home Office caseworker making a subjective assessment of whether their relationship is genuine and subsisting.
Not only will the Home Office caseworker assess this in light of the application as a whole, but they are also instructed to take into account cultural considerations.
As much as I'd like to be able to answer with a simple 2-word answer (for example, "3 months"), this, unfortunately, is not possible in light of how this requirement is assessed.
Kind regards,
Jason Capper-Tan.
hi can anyone help me to answer my questions
I am a filipina married to a polish and my husband is working now in uk and have a pre settlement status we get married in Philippines and wanted to live in uk I am applying to spouse visa but we didn't know what to do and what will be my status
How would one prove the intent to marry?
We have submitted all of the stuff we need to the uk gov and now they have asked my partner to book an appointment with a commercial partner but we can’t find it anywhere
Hi @jacktownsend4169,
After you have submitted the fiancé(e) visa application, you should be redirected to either the VFS or TLS website (depending on the country the application is being made from).
It is on the VFS or TLS website that you can book an appointment.
If you have not already been redirected to the VFS or TLS website, you should log back into your application.
You will see the subheading "Further actions that you must complete", and then under that, you will see the text which states "Make arrangements to provide your documents and biometrics".
You should click the green button which states "Provide documents and biometrics".
I hope the above helps.
Kind regards,
The Migrate.org.uk team.
Quick question am self employed uk citizen and I want to marry someone from Nigeria what are the financial requirements if you self employed thank you
QUESTION: At min.30:16 you are saying that the applicant will NOT be able to legally work in the UK until the first FLR(M) application is granted, so no right to work for 6 or more months?
The fiancee visa doesn't give you the right to work, so yeah, you'll be dependent on your partner until you get married and get the Family visa.
It doesn't have to be six months, you could get married and switch visa as soon as possible and get the family visa around 2-3 months after arriving to the UK, and since it takes a long time anyway to get a job in the UK, you could be applying to Jobs in the meantime
if fiancee has a child from previous marriage, ( fiancee visa) how can she bring her child with her? child is 5 years and can't live alone. She can't travel alone without her child.
i am the UK sponsor, can i apply for my spouse who i got married to last year abroad in Morocco. Can i apply for her as the applicant?? i,e, my wife. I don't understand how an applicant who respectfully will not know exactly what the UK GOV wants in terms of relationship proof/sponsor finances etc... without there mother tongue not being english despite there pass of the English A1 test. Its naive to suggest an applicant from outside the UK will know exactly what will suffices and what they need to provide or do. So how does a sponsor (i.e. the husband) Do this application for her?
Hi @youssef.e8173,
Whilst it is your partner who will technically be making the application, it is commonly the case that the sponsor (the UK partner) completes the application form, helps gathers the required documentation, and self-upload the supporting documents on the applicant's behalf - the online application form caters for this.
All the best with the application.
Kind regards,
The Migrate.org.uk team.
Hi, Migrate org uk.
First of all thank you so much for your helpful videos .
I just need to ask a question in detail and looking forward to get response from you as you are well experienced and trained OSIC regulated firm.
I am planning to apply UK fiancé visa to join my partner in Uk. We are already engaged.
I have applied 3 (times) U.K family visit visa application, the first two was refused and I haven’t did appeal against refusals.
My 3rd and most recent UK family visit visa was also refused but later it was approved through the PAP application.
I just stayed 2 months in UK with my UK visit visa vignette.
Where i meet my fiance”(e).
I just want to ask does my previous immigration history (i-e) (2 visit visa application refusals) can effect my current fiancé visa application which i am planning to submit. ?
Please reply
Thanks in advance
Please reply.
Why does the nhs want £500 for a 6month fiancé visa?
Hello. As I mentioned before, I received my passport with my vignette in it. However, I have not received any other correspondence from UK immigration. Will I receive any other correspondence?
Hi @gabby8568,
Congratulations on the fiancé(e) visa grant - that is wonderful news.
You will not receive a decision letter or a BRP.
Rather, you will just receive the 6 month vignette in the passport that has been returned.
We discuss this in our fiancé(e) visa timeline and process requirements video here: ua-cam.com/video/IEj3MySfIXo/v-deo.html
I hope the above helps.
Kind regards,
The Migrate.org.uk team.
@@MigrateOrgUkThank you!
@@gabby8568hello Gabby do you have ig? I'm in the same situation and I would like some guidance. Thanks
Very helpful video!
We are applying for a fiancé visa and using an immigration lawyer. Because my salary was significantly lower than normal in Feb, I’m having to apply under category B to meet the financial requirement.
The lawyers intended date for submission is 31st July. However I noticed in your video it mentioned the latest Payslip should be dated within 28 days of submission. As we are applying on 31st my last Payslip is dated 30th Jun. Does this mean that we would have to delay the application until I receive my July dated Payslip? This on itself is probably possible, but the bank statement backing it up will take longer to sort out.
Any info greatly appreciated
Hi @leelee4321,
I'm glad to hear that you found the video helpful.
A sponsor who is based in the UK when the application is submitted is required to provide a payslip which is dated no earlier than 28 days before the date of application (the date the Home Office fee is paid on the online application) if they rely on Category B.
This is because of paragraph 1(l) of Appendix FM-SE which states "Where this Appendix requires the applicant to provide specified evidence relating to a period which ends with the date of application, that evidence, or the most recently dated part of it, must be dated no earlier than 28 days before the date of application".
Since the word "must" is used in the above Immigration Rule, if this is not complied with, the Home Office caseworker can refuse the application because of this alone.
I hope the above helps.
Kind regards,
The Migrate.org.uk team.
We're looking for an immigration lawyer, is there one you would suggest? This video cleared up some stuff but we really don't want to try to put all this information together on our own.
What topics relating to UK fiancé(e) and partner visas would you like us to cover?
We will do our best to accommodate as many requests as possible.

Spouse visa extension please
@@slowmarchingband1 Thank you for the suggestion - I will forward it to the team.

Fiancé visa checklist.
By the way,
1. Which category does our supporting letters have to be placed in?
In "Others (Additional documents)"
Or in "Proof of Application"
2. And what about letters from family and friends please?
Please help: my fiance is a British citizen, and we are planning for me to move to the UK through a Fiancee Visa in December and get married in January. is it possible to switch to the spouse visa and get the residents permit without having to leave the UK? @MigrateOrgUk
Documents to prove genuine relationship
can i apply for the visa as the sponsor to keep the costs lower rather than my fiance applying outside of the uk?
No. He said in the video that the application would be considered an outside application anyway if the fiancee is outside the UK
Unfortunately the officers take subjective decision.
We are married, have a kid , the husband has English citizenship and we still get refusals.
The arguments are really nonsense- like photos submitted are of poor quality or the financial evidence - whilst husband met all the evidence regarding finaces.
What can we do?
Thanks in advance
Is there a required length of relationship prior to applying Uk fiance visa?
No, not according to the govt website
@@ponygirl1717 thanks
Do I still need to get an English Language Test if I'm A bachelor's degree?
Hi @camiladivina5082,
If you have a bachelor's degree awarded in the UK, the degree certificate should satisfy the English language requirement as long as the academic qualification certificate shows:
• the applicant’s name
• the title of the award
• the date of the award
• the name of the awarding institution
If the qualification was awarded outside the UK, you will need to accompany the degree certificate with documentation from Ecctis or alternatively sit a Secure English Language Test (SELT).
I hope the above helps.
Kind regards,

What is the processing time of uk fiance visa
Hi @mandeepgill7789,
Out-of-country fiancé(e) visas are currently taking 3 months on average.
We'll release a video discussing the fiancé(e) visa processing time later on this month.
I hope the above helps.
Kind regards,
The Migrate.org.uk team.
@@MigrateOrgUk thank you so much
I submitted my file on 19june
Hi
Yesterday I received email
application is currently being prepared for consideration by an entry clearance officer mean?
What about adequate maintenance?
What if your fiance is sponsoring your uk fiance visa can he apply in uk
Hi @bubblebunnii2948,
The fact that the UK partner (also known as the "sponsor") helps with submitting the application and supporting documents does not change the fact that only applicants who are in the UK on a visa longer than 6 months can apply from inside the UK (with the exception of those in the UK on a fiancé(e) or proposed civil partnership visa) .
I hope the above helps.
Kind regards,
The Migrate.org.uk team
@@MigrateOrgUkI don't understand this at all... As the UK sponsor, am I not able to apply for the applicant who is abroad, ie. My fiancé?
@@ponygirl1717 I want to know this answer to this too. As i am the UK sponsor, can i apply for my spouse who i got married too last year abroad in Morocco.

@@MigrateOrgUk seems some of your info is quite outdated... It isn't even called a Fiancé Visa anymore, but a Family visa!!
I'm a uk citizen living in Australia, I want to return with my partner on a fiancé visa but I'm confused about the income requirement.
I make more than enough here in Australia but they only except earnings made in the uk and need to provide 6 months of bank statements, how is this possible for a couple applying from outside the uk?
we also have 2 children together, born in Australia but uk citizens by decent.
I would really appreciate some guidance on how we can all arrive together. I don't want to go there alone for a extended period of time if I can avoid it. iv racked my brain on this. thank you in advance
