Im an American born, my fiancée is a british national. I recently applied for a visit to marriage visa but was refused because I didn't provide enough evidence our marriage would take place. We recently contacted a professional in the field apparently and he said instead of appealing, to just re apply for the same visa ASAP. This is what I would prefer, but I think I remember reading somewhere that you can only apply for a visa once every 6 months.. is this true? Or can I submit another visa app to the british government and get approved right now?

Thanks

I would trust what the Immigration specialist told you. That's why you paid for advice.

I actually didn't pay him. We called him and he was shocked we were refused, told us we wouldn't need professional help, and to just re apply asap.

@jeezey as long as you make sure that you submit all the relevant documents as specified in the guidelines and also address the objections raised in your recent refusal you shall be OK. You can apply again without having to wait.

There is no need to wait for 6 months.You can re-apply anytime you want to. But they don't usually reject a visa application, if you can produce the evidence sooner.It was tough luck for you.

It's been tough luck for me 3 times because I've applied 3 times and gotten rejected each. Really starting to make me want to go up to their NY office and punch someone in the face. There's nothing more I can give those idiots. They reject my applications based on the fact that I don't provide them with leave slips from my job and stuff... Forreal, digging that deep isn't any of their business.

For real it would appear that the UK doesn't want you there.

Unfortunately how you will support yourself if/when you get there IS their business.

Sorry to say it is there business, the UK have really tightened up the immigration laws because many marriages were fixed so that a person from another country could gain legal entry into the UK, via a so say marriage to an English Citizen. It was also mostly females who were doing this, and after the 6 months were up a divorce petition could be put into being. Lots of Phillipino girls gained dual nationality and entry into the UK this way.

You'll need to provide everything they ask for before you will be accepted, it's a pain I agree, but it's the law here now on anyone who wants to gain entry. Once you're married you'll obtain dual nationality, perhaps you could marry first, just a thought. Don't try to gain entry without permission you'll get thrown into a detention centre for illegal immigrants and possibly deported and banned from applying again in the future.

Perhaps a visit to the nearest English Embassy might help you with this.

We're looking into her coming here on a K-1 USA Visa now, since we plan to live in the USA anyway. It was just a nice plan to get married with her family in the UK, then come here to live. It seems like K-1 fiancé visas are easier to obtain as well... Just more expensive and take a little more time.

I would suggest that "she" not mention that she's going to punch anyone in the face when you apply for her papers. Also calling Immigration in either country "idiots" is probably not a good idea.

"she" is my future wife and excuse me ms. expert for mildly speaking my mind concerning one of the most important aspects of my life on an open forum where people seek for unofficial advice. Thanks for this expert opinion but I think I have enough common sense not to enact the previous expressons in real life.

Sorry OP I realise now your comments were not directed at myself.

JudyKayTee · Jul 4, 2010, 02:58 PM

I'm former US Customs so I know a LOT about what people say when they get frustrated at the border. I think "she" has a low treshold before she gets angry.

Are you and "she" sharing an AMHD account?

Apparently "she" finds no problem with expressing her mind on a forum which is open to the public - I'm not sure you (or she or whomever asked the question) has the common sense not to offend the Government officlals.

To Jeezey

Maybe the English Embassy would be your best option for advice re:gaining entry, its worth giving it a try, and they'll also help with all areas of your request too.

However you and your partner manage to gain entry into the UK I wish you all the very best for a Happy Wedding Day and future life together.

Best of British Luck to you Both.
