UK Fiancée Visa Potential Problems

⚠️ Common Reasons for Visa Delays or Refusals

While many Fiancée Visa applications are successful, a significant number are delayed or refused due to avoidable mistakes. Below are the most common problems and how to prevent them:

❌ Incomplete or Inconsistent Documents

Missing bank statements, outdated forms, or mismatched dates in supporting documents can raise red flags and cause refusals.

❌ Insufficient Evidence of Genuine Relationship

Failure to show regular communication, visits, or engagement plans can result in doubts about the relationship’s authenticity.

❌ Not Meeting Financial Requirements

Not proving the minimum income of £18,600/year (or savings threshold) is one of the top reasons for visa refusal.

❌ Incorrect or Expired English Test

Submitting an expired A1 test or one from an unapproved provider can lead to delays or rejection.

❌ Applying Too Early or Too Late

You must apply at the right time to ensure your visa aligns with wedding plans and eligibility requirements.

❌ Lack of Clear Intent to Marry

Failure to submit a signed letter, wedding bookings, or venue confirmations can hurt your case.

❌ Poorly Written Sponsor Letter

A weak or vague letter of support from your UK partner may leave the officer unconvinced of the relationship’s legitimacy.

❌ Previous Visa Violations

If you overstayed a visa or have immigration bans, your Fiancée Visa application may face extra scrutiny or rejection.
