    Thank you for this video! Very useful. Can I ask, you mentioned that you brought with proof of accomodation. How were you able to have your name on the lease without a Right to Rent share code? My partner and I are looking for a place to rent but it's been difficult because no one wants to rent to us since I don't have the code. And I can't get the code on my Fiancee visa.

    • @americangirlinuk
      @americangirlinuk  10 месяцев назад +1

      My fiance was already renting and you're allowed to live with them as long as permission is given by the landlord while on the fiance visa. I'm not sure about the right to rent code. Hope you both find a place soon!

    Hi, thank you for the video. I was wondering how you go about making a notice. Do you have to wait for a long time to book it or do you book it straight away?

    • @americangirlinuk
      @americangirlinuk  Год назад +1

      Call or email your local registry office of where you're living in the UK and tell them you need to make an appointment to give notice of marriage. They'll ask you when your wedding date is booked or if you don't have it booked yet that's ok too. You just need to make sure you can prove you've been living in the UK for minimum 7 days plus 28 days minimum before your booked wedding date. Hope that makes sense 😊

    This question is kinda regarding to both of your video uploads but when you was giving evidence for your fiancé visa did you have to book a date for your ceremony to give proof that you will marry once you enter the uk? I don’t know what kind of evidence we will submit if you can’t put a date on your wedding? Hope this makes sense Thankyou!

    • @americangirlinuk
      @americangirlinuk  Год назад +3

      You don't need to have anything booked (trust me I know how hard it is to find a date to book with the visa process) but you can tell them the date you both want and you can show them any wedding plans if you'd like. Totally optional. You could even briefly mention in your cover letter what venue or city in the UK you've discussed with your fiance where you'd both like to get married at. If fiance bought a dress already she can also show receipt or photo of this if you want to include something 🙂 Proving that you're engaged is the important thing to include.

      @americangirlinuk  Год назад +1

      I haven't heard of that for Fiance Visa but maybe its something new they require. I just applied for Spouse Visa recently and it asked for declarations for that which needed to be printed out and signed by me and my husband for part of it. This could be something new they're requiring perhaps but I was able to download it from the application area.

    Hello, thank you so much for your helpful videos! I’ve just applied to the fiancé visa, and it’s such a looong wait… I would appreciate if you could tell us how did you book the courthouse or what did you do after giving notice of your wedding, we really expect to get married this year, however I’m kinda lost on what to do after giving notice 😅 thank you!

    • @americangirlinuk
      @americangirlinuk  Год назад +2

      Are the wait times still 6 months? I hope they're processing sooner now from the time I did mine. You have to give notice at the local registry office (so where you'll be living) which has to be a month in advance showing proof you've been living there for at least 7 days (proof with tenancy agreement) so take the wait time and the notice time into consideration when booking your wedding at the registry office of your choosing. It can be the one you give notice at or a different one. We personally waited until I moved there to book our registry office wedding since we already lost money the first time after the wait time changed from 3 months to 6 😪 so definitely give yourself enough time. It's very tricky to plan especially big ceremonies unfortunately. You could always do the registry wedding and a bigger ceremony or reception at a later date too if you wanted. Best of luck and hope you hear back soon! 💞

      We hope to have a small wedding at the registry office with our family and some friends, we would love this process would be different so our family could plan better their trip to London for the wedding.

      @Vanessa D You should be able to apply for the faster service too as I believe priority Is available but I think instead of you paying for it right away, I think they will email you now to see if you'd like to bump yourself up to priority service. I think it's around 500 usd and speeds up the process to about 3 months. If that's something you could try to do to get a faster I'd look into that. Also yes you'll need to be on the tenancy agreement there to show proof you're living there for the marriage notice and also for when you apply for the spouse visa. As long as it's a two bedroom you'll be fine as they're only concern for the fiance visa is overcrowding. Take a look at London registry office prices and see if he can find out how booked up they are for weddings so you have an idea for planning. Hope this helps and you get yours sooner than later 💕

      Our letting agency had no issues adding me on. Right to rent would only apply If they were trying to rent somewhere on their own which wouldn't pass since you can't work on fiance visa. If you're paying for the rent and there is suitable accommodation (1bed) then there should be no issue adding your fiance on as a resident living there.

    Hi American Girl in UK
    Please can you advise if you enquired and obtained a date for your notice for marriage in the UK before arriving in the UK and also while completing the fiance visa application?
    Did you state on your supporting evidence that you have a future date confirmed with the registry office for notice of marriage?
    I spoke to a solicitor and was informed that you need a confirmation from the registry office that you have a notice of marriage appointment? This is while applying for your visa which didn't make sense as there is no guarantee when your visa will be processed.
    As always, your response is greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks

    • @americangirlinuk
      @americangirlinuk  Год назад +2

      No we were not able to get an appointment for marriage notice as they wouldn't even let us book it without me being in the country yet. Others may have better luck. But you have to make sure you are living in the UK for a minimum of 7 days with proof to show for it for the appointment.
      What you were advised about that is false, you can state that you have an idea of the wedding date you'd like to get married or unless you have it booked then you tell them the date. But no you don't need the notice appointment booked and wedding doesn't have to be booked either to apply for the fiance visa.
      Hope that helps 🙂

      @stevenn_htx ok so if you're living there with her parents, I think they can write a letter stating that. Call your local registry office though to make sure if that would be accepted for your appointment

    Does the marriage have to be registered before applying to the marriage visitor visa, or you can register it after getting the visa.
    Your answer will be appreciated

      If it's a marriage visitor visa, I'm not sure which they require for this. Are either of you a UK citizen? If so I believe you'll still need to give notice . Not sure about registering the marriage. Check the gov.uk site or I recommend reddit UKVisa group and search for this in there 😊
