IMO, marriage in the US and application for a spousal visa with an appointment at the consulate would be the fastest, but I could be wrong.

I know there are income guides around here because I was shocked to see that we could have applied for my visa long before I did. We were informed incorrectly by a UK solicitor. Do a search for income requirements to find out if you already earn enough to support him until he finds a job. He should prepare a CV and talk about his plans to gain employment as well.

As far as living with your mom, that should be fine provided you have your own room and it isn't otherwise overly crowded. If it's just your mom (and dad), there'd need to be two bedrooms. There's also information about this posted here if you need to know the limits for more people.

Good luck and congrats.

 

I am considering the same options myself, and wondered if you had made any headway on determining the best method for you and your fiance.

I live in the US, and hope to move to the UK with my two children pending marraige. My fiance and I have been together for almost two years, and we have plenty of evidence of our relationship. He works full time and makes enough to support us, but I wouldn't want to go over and not be able to work for six months if possible.

If a fiance Visa is used, and there are children involved...there would be a need for individual Visa's for each person. If the marraige occurs in the US, and then the spousal visa is applied for in the UK, do the children of the US resident fall under the same Visa, or is there still a need for individual Visa's? The cost of a fiance Visa is $1050, and if you must have 3 Visa's... ouch.

Thanks for your time,
