Hi Vinny thanks for reply but after several more hours of reading loads of web pages it all seems sketchy and I'm still (even more?) confused! From the first quote you gave - she qualifies on the 4 points, so prior entry clearance is not mandatory. So I assume this means she CAN travel with old and ...

Hi My wife was granted ILE in 08/2006 under the 4 year rule. I posted here then: http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=8522 She entered the UK within a couple of weeks of the issue. She returned to her country 2 weeks ago for a family wedding, intending to stay 3 weeks. She would like to ...

well thats cleared things up then.

None of the immigration 'experts' we've spoken to advised us of this. And we didnt expect it at all so its a great surprise.

My thanks to all for your input.

We're looking forward to next week!

But hopefully they'll let her...

Confused? - probably. But at least I have a scan of it now... At the top it says 'Entry Clearance' It has a photo and various bits of data: Number of Entries: Mult Type: Visa Settlement Wife Valid From: 11/08/2006 Valid Until: 10/09/2008 (which is actually 2 years 1 month) Obsrv. [sic] Indefinite le...

Hi Smit thanks for reply - and with good news! I didnt realise it was the same thing. I understand her Visa is valid for 2 years so what do we need to do about that aspect? Presumably there must be an extension process at that time? Are there other practical issues I should be aware of? Is there som...

Apologies for hijacking the thread but its the same question: I'm British, and my Indonesian wife has just been granted a spouse settlement visa that I believe says something like 'Indefinite leave to enter' (Sorry to be a bit vague but she is still in jakarta and I havent seen it yet) We have been ...
