Can I visit my fiancée in Kenya during the spouse visa application?
Me and my fiancee have been looking to spend time with each other over Christmas in Kenya but I fear that it may negatively affect our spouse visa application in some way, due to speaking to my brother who told me of an issue that happened to a friend of his who was attempting to move to the US which was mucked up because he went to Amsterdam on a stag's do and also was a security concern because of a job he previously worked at, which was a base.
So my question is should I visit my fiancée in Kenya? I am a British citizen and I've been assured that it should be okay but my gut is telling me that it's too iffy.
Best Answer
You're a UK citizen and you intend to apply for a Family visa so that your fiancée can come to the UK, marry and settle with you in Britain.
It's completely appropriate for you to travel to spend time with her, part of maintaining your relationship, whether before visa application or pending a decision.
As you note, in addition to the relationship, all the eligiblity standards have to be met including income.
