Fiance visa - legal aid

Post by Goose55 » Wed May 01, 2013 6:59 pm

Hi,

I am planning on bringing my Indian fiance over to the UK to marry and settle here. I meet all of the financial objectives and we have had a 9 month relationship, of which half of that time has been spent together in London (which is where we met). I have also visited her and her family in India. She had to leave the UK because her student visa expired and it couldn't be converted into a working visa anymore due to a law change in 2012.

My question is would we require an immigration lawyer to assist our case, or is it strong enough to do on our own? I can priovide evidence that our relationship is genuine through phone bills, instant messaging conversations, photos of us and emails.

Any opinion is sought, but if anyone else on here has recently applied for a fiance visa or if there is an immigration lawyer lurking on these boards, then their opinions would be valuable.

Thanks

Any standard immigration application should be possible to be done without a lawyer.

However, no one can say a definitive yes or no because they don't know all the facts.

Only you know how strong your case is against the rules.

If you're not confident - get an adviser.
