Fiance Visa UK

A fiance of a British citizen or settled person can apply for a UK Fiancé(e) visa to come to get married. The Fiancé(e) visa is normally granted for 6 months to enable you to get married to the UK sponsor within the permitted 6 months period.

We are experts in dealing with UK Fiancé(e) visa applications and if instructed will carry out all the work on the application until the decision is received from the Home Office UKVI.

Please contact our UK immigration solicitor at MCR Solicitors to fully assess your eligibility for a UK Fiance visa by considering all the relevant information including your past immigration history.
