I will add that it was extremely easy to get a fiancee visa to the UK. I sent my application to the UK consulate in Los Angeles on a Thursday and had the visa in my hand on Monday. It was a piece of cake. I got mine in spring 2001 so the guidelines may have changed since then, but I will say this about the Home Office: they processed all three of my visa applications (fiancee, LLR, permanent resident) more quickly than the US government has managed to process one of my husband's.
Thank you all for taking the time to respond to my queries, I will be asking my girlfriend to apply for the fiancee visa, obtaining that will allow us to marry here in the UK. She does not intend to stay more than a a week here in the UK because of her job.
But not sure if there will be additional documents involved
Thanks
