In love and lonely

[jadis]

Hi!
I live in England and wondered if anyone could provide me with some information.
I am engaged to a Ukrainian lady and would like to know details of how I can arrange for her to live with me in England, with a view to marriage.

We have met on two occasions, once in her home city of Mariupol, and again at the wedding of my brother in Tbilisi, Georgia. We have photos and letters etc.

I understand we can apply for a 6 month 'fiancee' visa and that an interview is required.

The questions I have are as follows.

1/Would it be helpful if I also fly to Kyiv to accompany my fiancee for a visa interview?

2/Can I arrange an appointment in advance of travelling to Kyiv? (around the end of May)

3/How long does the visa issuing process take?

4/What do I need to arrange in England?

5/Any general advice on how to speed up the process?

Many thanks in anticipation of your replies
