This visa is for people who have 'settled' status in the UK to bring their fiancé to join them in the UK.
Also known as the 'prospective marriage visa', the fiancé visa is different from other partner visa categories.

You and your fiancé must:
Your fiancé (sponsor) must have a minimum earning of £18,600 per annum or must have enough savings to sponsor you. This amount might change in case there are other dependants involved.

The UK Fiance Visa is a medium risk subject and the authorities have to consider a lot of things before responding on the visa. So there is no specific timeline for when you will receive a decision on your UK Fiance Visa.
If your visa application has been fully completed and meets the standard requirements, your decision will be quicker.
In case your application is missing any key documents, or if the authorities need more information as the provided information wasn’t enough, it will delay the processing of your UK Fiance Visa.
If things go fine, you can expect to receive a decision on your application between 2 and 3 months after the day it is received by the immigration office.
Once approved, you can stay in the UK for a tenure of 6 months from the date of arrival in the country. This is with the assumption that your stay there is for the purpose of marriage only hence you must abide by the conditions imposed on your immigration permission.
No. After marriage you need to switch to a long term visa like the UK Spouse Visa in order to extend your stay. Citizenship is possible only using the Indefinite Leave to Remain Visa after completing 5 years residence in the country.
The UK Fiance Visa has a major benefit that it provides a smooth transition into the UK Spouse Visa. You can apply for the standard Spouse Visa application process without having to leave the country, provided that the application is made while your UK Fiance Visa is still active.
The UK Spouse Visa provides a tenure of 30 months, after which you can apply for an extension of 30 more months given that the conditions have not changed. After completing 5 years you can apply for the Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) and after an year of ILR in the country you can apply for a British Citizenship, get your British Passport and enjoy full citizenship.
