UK Fiancée Visa Processing Time

⏱️ Average Processing Times

The average processing time for a UK Fiancée Visa is between 2 to 3 months from the date of your biometric appointment. However, timelines can vary depending on several factors, including the country you’re applying from, the completeness of your documents, and whether you've used a priority service.

📦 Standard Service

Applications are usually processed within 12–24 weeks under standard processing. Most applicants receive a decision within 60 working days.

⚡ Priority Service

If available in your region, priority service can reduce the processing time to around 15 working days. This comes with an additional fee, typically around £500.

❌ What Can Delay a Decision?

• ❗ Missing or incomplete documents
• ❗ Complex relationship history or insufficient evidence
• ❗ Background/security checks requiring further review
• ❗ Delays in scheduling biometric appointments

📬 When Will I Receive My Passport?

Once your visa is approved, you will be contacted by the visa center to collect your passport with the visa vignette. You’ll then be able to enter the UK and must marry within 6 months of arrival.
