UK Marriage Visa Preparation?
Hi. I’m getting married this summer to a foreign national and just want to ask people that have done it before what the process is like and what evidence to prove our relationship is genuine is needed?

I’m thinking:
- Testimonies from family and professional people.
- Phone records.
- Pictures of us and of the wedding.
- Any letters or cards.
- Bank statements of family and myself showing we can support ourselves.
Anything else that I’ve missed?

Our plan is to get married out of the UK then eventually go t the UK embassy to begin the application. Is this the best way as we don’t really want to have to use a lawyer?

Also, because we are quite young, both 22, and I’m still in Uni we won’t be living together straight away in till we find a apartment. Are we going to need to show the Gov a place where we can move into right away? She does have family that she can stay with till we find the right place.

Also, what are the general costs involved for the application? And probability that it will succeed?
I mean we have been together for 4 years and have can easily prove our relationship is real, so can they really keep a husband and wife away from each other by declining it?

Dont need to answer all of them but if you kow would be good.
Thanks

to get a spousal visa , you must be able to support your partner and you must have accomodation for you both to live in
Visa cost is Â£500+ and it is not an automatic right
At the moment you are looking at a refusal
your family money does not count in immigration eyes and your money needs to be regular income, being a student will be a negative for you
being together for 4 years is not a big plus as immigration have separated people who have been married for 20+ years
