Hello, To turn a very long situation into a short discription - I am an American married to a Brit for 4 years (going on 5).

Hello,

Hello - just had to ask 1 other question: I

Hello, Thank you for your reply. If the FLR(M) is refused - can I only make my spouse visa application by going back to the US? As I understand it - you can not apply for a spouse visa from within the UK. Also, would I be given the Ban if I receive the Home Office decision AFTER October 1st? Thanks ...
