Fiancé/Proposed Civil Partner Visas

Meeting Financial Requirements: The Fiance/Proposed Civil Partner Visa requires applicants to demonstrate that they can support themselves financially without relying on public funds. Meeting the financial threshold can be a challenge for many applicants, especially if they don’t have a stable income or sufficient savings.
Document Preparation: The visa application process involves gathering and organizing various documents, such as proof of relationship, accommodation, and financial stability. Preparing these documents accurately and comprehensively is crucial for a successful application. Failure to provide the required documents can lead to delays or visa refusal.
Genuine and Subsisting Relationship: The Home Office scrutinizes the genuineness of relationships, looking for evidence that the relationship is legitimate and not entered into solely for the purpose of obtaining a visa. Providing sufficient proof of the genuineness of your relationship is vital.
English Language Requirement: Applicants must demonstrate their English language proficiency by passing an approved English language test. This requirement can be challenging for those who are not fluent in English.
Time Constraints: Timely submission of the application is essential to avoid unnecessary delays or complications. Missing the application deadline may require you to restart the process, causing delays in your plans to marry or form a civil partnership in the UK.

We will help you understand the acceptable forms of evidence, such as employment contracts, bank statements, and third-party financial support.
