No, there is no such requirement for married couples. You can apply as soon as you have all the required documents.

so again, just to clarify... there is a chance that after marriage we can apply for the Out-land Sponsorship and get approved?

I'm not sure about their rules and when to consider that the married is valid or not.

Isn't one of the requirements that we should have lived continuously for a year as a married couple before we can apply for Out-land sponsorship?

Thank you!
If you're legally married you do not have to live together to apply for spousal sponsorship.

The only time you have to live together for a year before applying is if you were to apply Common Law.

Seeing as you are going to get married you can apply as soon as you have a copy of your marriage certificate. :D

No. That is a rule for common law relationships not marriage. Married couples can apply right away after marrying but they will have to give sufficient proof of genuinity.
