Subscribing, pictures now and when you actually meet will be interesting
Checking the latest fees on the Home Office site (HERE), the fee for Indefinite Leave alone is just over £2,200. I think £7-8k is more of a realistic figure now. Absolutely ridiculous.
Have you really not met each other? I'm pretty sure you have interviews etc & you have to tell the story of how you met, fell in love etc so they can (try) ensure it's not a sham marriage etc
not yet, im probably jumping the gun, i just want to find out how easy it all is. still a long way to go but i like to be prepared.
. Your real name is Daz....
He could enter and live in the US as he married to a US citizen, but he wouldn't be able to work or get paid for gainful employment.One thing to be aware of if you do get married is to look in to the benefits of marrying in England vs USA. A friend of mine married an American girl and if they married in the USA they could live there OR England. However if they married in the UK they could ONLY live here. Don't know why but look in to that.
Also you need to make sure your marriage is legally binding in the country in which you are married to ensure that you can bring your wife here on a spouse visa.

Yup, meeting someone online who lives in Swansea and turns out to be a gremlin is very different from someone who lives in Arkansas coming over.
being honest, this sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.
Both married, met online, different countries. Your real name is Daz.
Not going well so far.

well, ive done enough vid chats now to know what she really looks like. i would post some photos but i dont want you old geezers getting hot under the collar
AFAIK he would be able to work but not immediately is my point.What's the point of that then? Makes no sense.
Is she and her friend paying for their own plane ticket to London or have they asked you to pay for it?well, ive done enough vid chats now to know what she really looks like. i would post some photos but i dont want you old geezers getting hot under the collar
whats the Daz thing?
Daz was involved in a complex sexual/emotional triangle the details of which he wasn't entirely honest about and one of the other parties discovered the thread and challenged him on it. He has since gone to ground.
I sincerely hope this doesn't turn into Daz Mk 2.
I really do have an overactive imagination.
IG already has, a mere hour before you posted.
Liam, how old is her kid? Personally I'd be worried about her age and the potential for this to be a knee-jerk reaction to something that happened between her and her man, internet relationships are different from real life ones with farting and nose picking. All the best.
