Uk Marriage Visa?

I am a dual citizen of NZ and Britain. My partner, who is Australian, and I am getting married shortly and then we want to head to work in the UK. How long will it take for the application to be processed? Please can someone tell me if there are any other issues that we may come accross?

Thanks Heaps

Answer:
I went through this myself last month. It takes roughly 6 months to apply from there and you have too, there is no alternative.

I found it faster to apply for (unlimited right to remain as a partner of a British citizen) you can apply here for it in the Uk, costs 399 pounds by post (3 weeks) or 599 pounds for next day service.

To qualify you need to show that you have lived together as a couple for 24 consecutive months by showing 20ish original documents in joint or single names at the same address from 5 different categories:- rent, lease, mortgage, bank, tv, electric, gas etc.

You can then get married here or in Australia and come back in no problem.

Here is a link to the Governments Immigration Advisory service http://www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk/contact...

Make sure that you mention (unlimited right to remain as a partner of a British citizen) or they will give you general answers that say apply in Australia.

if you can't do this then contact the British embassy in Australia for a rough time line of how long it will take for a marriage spousal Visa.

Good Luck and Congratulations on you upcoming marriage.
