Re: Clarification on process - UK Fiance Visa, then Spouse Visa from Canada
An update-I payed and send them confirmation of my payment, together with pointing out my status, that I'm a fiancé and that I applied to marry and settle after marriage. They replied that they r sorry for confusion and that they will start the refund process immediately. I received my money after a week.

Re: Clarification on process - UK Fiance Visa, then Spouse Visa from Canada
So.....can the Canadian apply for and get the Settlement Visa and travel to the UK WITHOUT making any marriage arrangements first? In other words, when they apply for the Settlement Visa, do they need to include any proof of booking the ceremony, interviews with celebrant etc or can they sort all that out once they have landed?

ARGH!! I have confused myself totally somewhere - application is for a Settlement Partner visa, to come to the UK, marry and settle. NOT a Marriage Visitor Visa.

Hi Pollyana,
I just want to ask on how was your application going?
Have you applyed for it yet?
If yes...did you get the result?
Would you mind me asking for your timeline of application? I am also planning to apply for the same visa but trying to consider the processing time.😅
I appreciate your reply

There is a Timeline thread in the forum and there are some Canadians in that so you shoud get an idea from there.

Here's the Timeline thread that Pollyana refers to - UK Spouse Visa STRICTLY TIMELINES ONLY - NO CHAT
You can use the search box (top right of the thread) to search it, although do remember that everybody's situation is different, so somebody else's timeline won't necessarily be the same (or even similar) as yours.
Good luck.

Quickie for the knowledgable ones out there - National Insurance numbers.
Obviously the fiance visa holder can't work until the FLR (M) comes through, but can she apply for an NI number in advance? Or does she need to wait for the visa grant?
Cheers

Re: Clarification on process - UK Fiance Visa, then Spouse Visa from Canada
Hey guys, back for another bit of info please as I can't find the answer in black and white and so I have a panicky Canadian to deal with.
She is on a Fiance Visa, they have got married, submitted the FLR(M) application approx 4 weeks ago (mid April).
Fiance Visa expiry date is June 19th.
I think she is safe to stay onshore until the FLR(M) decision is made, she thinks if there is no decision by June 19th she may have to leave the UK......
Thanks muchly!

Re: Clarification on process - UK Fiance Visa, then Spouse Visa from Canada
Correct, and very importantly, if she does leave the UK before a decision is made then her application will automatically be considered to have been withdrawn. In short she needs to sit tight and not make any travel plans until her spouse BRP arrives in the post.
