Rule of Immigration

Unless you apply for a visa, you will never know or don't need to know the difficulty and complexity of immigration rules. There is a chance that things never work out as you expect. The UK has tried to stop illegal immigration, and reducing immigration in general for national interests, so the rules of immigration in the UK are getting tighter and tighter, and still changing. In fact, after I submitted the application, some of the rules were changed. The UK Government has started to introduce English language tests from autumn 2010 for non-EU migrants applying for a UK Visa to come to the UK to join or marry their settled partner. Speaking as a Japanese applicant, you must take an English test and meet the necessary standards for it. And you must demonstrate the certification of yourself and your finance in accordance with the specifications. You must visit the UK visa application centre in Tokyo or Osaka, no matter where you live. You must submit your fingerprints, too. I felt as if I got completely naked in front of officers, because you must lay all the cards on the table and you are scrutinized from every angle.

A fiancee visa allows you to stay in the UK for six months without working. During the period, you need to get married and apply for a spouse visa. Again. Marriage with someone with the same nationality is very easy and simple, but I wonder why international marriage has such complicated processes. I can understand the government's intention because some are living or working there illegally. I think it stands to reason for protecting their country. But from a viewpoint of human-rights issue, race issue, the right to marry and freedom of speech, I think we are the weak under this law.
