Urgent: Help Eddie Stay in the UK Legally

Donation protected
Hey friends, family, darlings and degenerates,

I hate to be here again, but My UK visa journey is at a critical point, and I could really use your support to cross the finish line.

Here’s the Situation:

I’ve already paid £1,500+ (~$1,900) for my fiancé visa to get here and marry Tim. Now, to stay legally and start counting toward permanent residency, I *must* apply *immediately* to switch to a spouse visa. If I miss the deadline (thanks to the UK’s strict rules), I could lose everything we’ve built.

The Cost Breakdown (Ouch):

1️⃣ Application Fee: £1,048 (~$1,330)
2️⃣ Healthcare Surcharge (Required): £2,587.50 (~$3,280)(Yes, they make us pay upfront for the NHS!)
3️⃣ Priority Processing (To Avoid Delays): £500-800 (~$635-$1,015)

TOTAL NEEDED: ~£4,200+ (~$5,300)

Why It’s Urgent:

- My current visa expires July 1st and processing takes 8+ weeks.
- Every day counts—I *have* to submit this ASAP to avoid becoming an "overstayer" (which would risk deportation and future applications).

How You Can Help:
-Any amount gets me closer. Even £20 (~$25) buys peace of mind.
- Sharing this with others who might chip in means the world.
- Moral support is just as precious—this process is emotionally exhausting!

I hate asking, but you’re the people who’ve cheered me on this far. If you can help, this is your chance. If not, no guilt—just keep rooting for us!

Thank you for being my village. I’ll keep you posted (and celebrate with tea and crumpets when this is done!).

Love,
Eddie
