Hi everyone,

We got married on New Years Eve in London, exactly one year since he proposed! Hubby is back now in the US and we have our I 130packet ready to go. Just one photocopy of the wedding certificate to be added and he'll post it tomorrow, so we'll just make it as a January filer.

Unfortunately we are under Vermont Service Centre, and having been lurking for a long while now reading guides and learning from you guys, this fills me with dread. Here's hoping they speed up in 2009.

Good luck to everyone just starting this journey - it's daunting but this website is amazing!

Hi everyone,

I'm new here and I am so happy to have found this site for guidance as I realise we are just about to enter a hugely complicated process.

We are just finalising our plans to marry in the UK and eventually both live in the US.

My fiance is a US citizen and I'm from the UK.

We want to make an appointment with the Registrar when my fiance visits in July in the UK to book a wedding date for sometime during end December beginning of January 09 when he will be back for the ceremony.

He then intends to return to the USA and apply for me to join him with a Spouse Visa.

As he does not intend to remain and work in the UK, I understand that he needs a Visa for Marriage so that we can meet with the Registrar and arrange a wedding date.

However, these visas only last for 6 months and it's likely that the date we settle on for the wedding ceremony will be just after the visa for marriage expires.

Can anyone clarify whether he will need another one of these Visas to return in December for the ceremony?

I would be really grateful for some help as the website doesn't appear to cater for our particular set of circumstances and they dont reply to emails!

Much love

Debbie
