You may have had a desire to live in America since you were 5, and you'd really really REALLY like to, but the answer will still probably be no.

PS, just send me $4999 and I'll look into every possible visa for you again just to make sure.

It is 100% true. In order to be eligible for the fiance visa, a couple *must* have met in person. If they have not met in person, then it's a no go on the fiance visa.

Double Diamond works wonders..(works wonders)

You take the shake n' Vac and put the freshness back!

Your Matey's a lot of fun you put it in the bath!

Seriously with slogans like these who would want to leave the UK?

Go do some further reading.

Certain religions do not allow bride or groom to meet*, and this is permitted under fiance visa...


*Before the wedding

Taking the huff at the messenger who gives the bad new ain't gonna cut it either. They may be sarcastic and arrogant cnuts, but they're sarcastic and arrogant cnuts who've successfully navigated the system....which is more than you've managed.

Oh yeah, forgot about that little caveat. It's so very, very rare, it's easy to forget that little clause.

Totally agree -- which is why I added that point to my signature. :thumbup:

p.s. Love this thread -- maybe it should be a sticky!

Judging by the quality and quantity of British soccer coaches here in North Texas, I'm going to have to call bullshit on that one! :rofl:
