Thanks to all for the advice. As for scans at ticket counters, I am certain they do this. American Airlines told me directly that they do it. However I don't know, and am doubtful, that this information gets passed on to the home office.

I'm finding that lots of people responding to my post are assuming my partner and I have done something terribly 'wrong'. It's important not to judge the situation before knowing the facts. We are both mature adults in our forties, and are very well established financially and career-wise. We were v...

What happened when you were ordered to leave the country? Did you file for an appeal, or just ignore it? And how long ago was that?

Does anybody know how to appeal if the Home Office refuses a visa extension? I've read that after they say no, they give 28 days to appeal. But what then? How long does it take them to respond?

I don't feel it's necessary to explain our situation. We are simply looking for answers to the questions ...

I appreciate the advice I've received thus far, however I still need answers to my questions. As I said, our situation is complex which is why the Home Office was willing to extend our visa once with no questions asked. Apparently that is very unusual. Plus I'm reading all sorts of posts on this web...

My partner and I have a problem. I am a U.S. citizen, and he is a British citizen from England. I have been in the UK for over a year, and have a fiance visa that we had extended once already. It expires at the end of March. Our situation is quite complex, and we therefore need some more time before...
