Just out of interest badboyz, how much in advance did you buy your plane ticket? I would imajine the HO is not always quick about these things( getting passports back) which may rule out buying a cheaper/special offer ticket or last minute.

It seems so simplified for him just to apply from turkey and get the spouse visa after all we have been through here.I hope you understand my concern at the risk.
