UK Fiancé Visa Applications – Fiancé & Proposed Civil Partner Visa Lawyers
N & M Immigration Lawyers assist couples across Hertfordshire and the UK with fiancé visas, proposed civil partner visas and family visa applications under Appendix FM of the Immigration Rules.

UK Fiancé Visa Requirements
Under Appendix FM of the Immigration Rules, fiancé visa applicants must usually demonstrate:
- A genuine and subsisting relationship
- Intention to marry or enter a civil partnership within 6 months
- The sponsor is British or settled in the UK
- Meeting the financial requirement
- Suitable accommodation in the UK
- Compliance with the English language requirement
The Home Office assesses fiancé visa applications strictly against the evidence provided. Weak or inconsistent evidence can lead to refusal even where the relationship is genuine.
Common Reasons Fiancé Visas Are Refused
Weak Relationship Evidence
Insufficient communication history, photographs, travel evidence or proof of relationship development.
Financial Requirement Errors
Incorrect payslips, missing bank statements or failure to meet Appendix FM-SE evidence rules.
Intention to Marry Concerns
Failure to provide sufficient evidence of wedding plans or intention to marry in the UK.
Accommodation Issues
Weak or missing accommodation evidence showing suitable living arrangements.
English Language Problems
Wrong SELT test or incorrect English language evidence.
Poor Application Structure
Applications submitted without organised supporting evidence or proper legal explanation.
Financial Requirement – Fiancé Visa Applications
Fiancé visa applicants normally need to meet the same financial requirement applicable to spouse visa applications.
Depending on the circumstances, applicants may rely on:
- Employment income
- Self-employment income
- Cash savings
- Pension income
- Combination of permitted income sources
The Home Office requires strict specified evidence under Appendix FM-SE and incorrect financial documentation remains one of the leading causes of refusal.
Switching from Fiancé Visa to Spouse Visa
After marriage or civil partnership in the UK, applicants normally apply for Further Leave to Remain as a spouse under FLR(M).
This application requires:
- Marriage certificate or civil partnership certificate
- Updated relationship evidence
- Financial evidence
- Accommodation evidence
- Compliance with immigration requirements
We assist clients with both the initial fiancé visa and the later FLR(M) spouse visa application.
