Hello. I am a us citizen that has recently married a uk citizen, in the united states. I want to apply for a visa to live with my husband in the uk. Does anyone have any advice on which visa application to use?

I am completely confused. There doesn't seem to be a definite answer to my question anywhere. It seems to me that a spouse visa is just for extending an existing fiancé visa, which i do not possess since i was married in the united states. Also, it seems that a settlement visa is for someone who has lived in the uk as a spouse for two years already and is applying for indefinite leave to remain.
