Hi guys just wondering if anyone could give me a bit of information. Looking to marry my partner who's a Moroccan national and I'm British, we were looking at doing the visit visa as she would have to return home as she has a job and family there and we'd want to apply for spouse visa late 2024 when she can apply for jobs here and we have more savings etc. We plan to have her come over in late January to give notice in early February then her return, then come in May again to get married and we both go back together to meet her family and have a small ceremony there .
I just wanted to know if anyone has done this or should we just wait and do the 6 month visa and then the 2 year one? I am currently disabled and receiving Pip and would be funding her whole trip (have 5k savings) it would be better for us ATM to do the visit visa as I'm not well enough to go there at this time, although I've been in the past multiple times and we can prove our relationship easily. I've already booked to give notice and paid a deposit and booked the wedding, but I've heard the marriage visit visa is difficult? Any advice would be appreciated as don't wanna waste time and money.
We have a letter from her work proving employment but her wages are low around £300 per month, I have 5k savings and receiving over £1.2k a month and also have no rent or bills to pay as we would stay with my family until she permanently can come here, so i guess over 2 trips here she would spend around a month and the flights would cost about 600, so ive easily got enough to fund her. Do you think we have a chance at getting a marriage visit visa? Or should we wait and go for the 6 months then 2.6 year route?
I've filled out the application but when asked how much she'd contribute I've put a tiny amount(£1) as I'm planning to pay for it all, do they accept this or does the applicant have to pay something towards the trip?
