UK fiancee visa question

12 years ago

I am a US citizen and will be applying for a UK fiancee visa to move to Glasgow and be financially supported by my fiancee. I just read with the changes to UK immigration on July 9, 2012, the government is concerned with defining how genuine a relationship is. This is mainly to prevent marriages of convenience and partially to deter arranged or assisted marriages. The minimum settlement period for this is now five years in order to test whether a relationship is genuine. A genuine relationship has been defined in these changes as a long term relationship that can be proved by evidence. What does minimum settlement period of five years mean? Do you have to have a relationship for 5 years before you can move over as a fiancee? Please help! thanks
