A
UK fiancé visa enables the prospective spouse of an individual with certain
status in the United Kingdom to legally enter and reside in the UK
temporarily. In order to qualify for a Fiancé
visa, the prospective spouse must be able to verify their intention to marry the
person with settled status. Applications for entry under the terms of the UK’s Fiancé
visa legislation (updated July 2012) can be submitted to the British Consulate,
the British High Commission or the British Embassy.
Where
a Fiancé visa application is successful, the applicant is permitted to enter
the United Kingdom and stay for a maximum of six months. During this time, the
intention to marry the individual with settled UK status must be
fulfilled. Upon formal registration of
the marriage, the applicant will then be entitled to apply for an extension of
their settled status in the UK as a result of their marriage to a UK citizen or
resident.
Should
it be necessary to apply for an extension of the six-month provisional
residency provided by way of a Fiancé visa, applications must be submitted
prior to the initial visa’s expiration. A new provisional spousal visa may be
granted if the application is successful, which extends the permitted residency
for two additional years.
In
the event that an application for a UK Fiancé visa is rejected, the applicant
has the right to lodge a formal appeal. All appeals must be lodged no later
than 20 days following the receipt of the rejection notification, which will
provide details as to the assessing officer’s justification for rejecting the
application.
Qualifying for a UK Fiancé Visa
In
order to qualify for a Fiancé visa in the United Kingdom, a series of criteria
must be fulfilled as outlined in the Appendix FM of the Immigration Rules. Detailed below are examples of the most
important criteria the applicant must meet for their application to be
accepted:
Provision
of evidence that you intend to live with your prospective spouse
Confirmation
of plans to marry before the six-month visa expires
The
ability to demonstrate that you are in a serious relationship
Evidence
to demonstrate your capacity (or the capacity of your partner) to support you
financially for the duration of your stay, without the need to claim benefits
The
intention to marry an individual who already has settled status in the UK
Both
parties must have the legal right to marry in accordance with UK law
Here
at Aristone Solicitors, we’ll provide the expert support you need to
meticulously plan every aspect of your Fiancé visa application.
With
our help, your case will be supported by the strongest possible evidence of
your intentions and eligibility for entry to the United Kingdom. We’ll also
provide full legal representation when dealing with the British Embassy or
Consulate, along with any resulting court appearances that may be necessary.
Financial Requirements
UK
immigration law outlines a series of essential requirements that must be met on
behalf of both the foreign national (applicant) and their prospective British
spouse (the sponsor). The sponsor’s financial status will be assessed to
evaluate their capacity to support their prospective partner financially for
the duration of their stay.
Requirements
set out in current Fiancé visa policy include the following:
The sponsor must be able
to provide evidence of an average annual income of at least £18,600 for a
minimum of six consecutive months, prior to the application being submitted –
ideally with the same employer.
If the sponsor has been
with their current employer for less than six months, they will need to provide
evidence of £18,600 minimum earnings for the past 12 consecutive months.
Sponsors may also fulfil Fiancé
visa financial requirements by providing evidence of personal savings of a
minimum of £62,500 at the time of the application.
Cases may also be considered
through a combination of average monthly income and personal savings when the
application is submitted.
Satisfying
financial criteria for successful Fiancé visa procurement can be more
challenging for the self-employed, jobseekers and individuals unable to provide
evidence of their income. The personal immigration team at Aristone Solicitors
can provide the support you need to present your case with confidence.

a member of our legal team today to arrange your obligation-free consultation.
Accommodation
The
individual applying for a Fiancé visa will need to provide evidence that they
have somewhere to stay upon their arrival and for the duration of their residency.
This will typically be the abode of their prospective spouse, though
cohabitation isn’t strictly necessary.
However,
the property the applicant indicates as their intended abode must be fit for
purpose and of a sufficient size to accommodate them. The size of the property,
along with its nature, state of repair and current occupancy will be taken into
account as part of the evaluation process.
Several
formal documents will need to be obtained to provide the necessary evidence of
viable accommodation. Examples of which include title deeds, mortgage
statements, tenancy agreements and more.
Genuine
Relationship
In
order to demonstrate a genuine intention to marry within six months, the
applicant and their prospective partner must provide evidence that they are in
a genuine relationship at the time of the application.
As
there may be no specific tangible evidence of the relationship, this typically
includes the preparation of formal documents and the procurement of reference
letters from family, friends and people in positions of responsibility.
Such
documentation can have a significant impact on the outcome of a Fiancé visa application
and should be produced and presented under the supervision of a trained legal
advisor.
English
Language
A
Home Office approved English language test must be passed by applicants from
non-English speaking countries, in order for their Fiancé visa to be granted. Alternatively,
a UK Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent qualification taught in English is sufficient
to demonstrate competent English language skills.
If
you or your prospective partner struggle with the English language, we can
advise on the best possible course of action. Contact a member of the legal
team at Aristone solicitors today to discuss your case in more detail.
