No effect whatsoever.Can I also ask is it likely to have a detrimental effect on my partners application for a spouse visa that he is applying a day or so before his visa expires?
No, he will have so-called Section 3C Protection. That is, as long as the application for a new visa is submitted prior to the expiry of the old visa, the old visa is "treated as continuing" until the new application is decided. Should the application be declined then such protection is extended further, as long as the rejection is appealed against.Is he likely to be told to leave until they have decided his case?
How long have the two of you known each other?Does it make a difference to the application for a spouse visa how long we have known each other?
Do appreciate what Section 3C is saying. That is, the existing visa is "treated as continuing"! So if that visa allows him to work for up to 20 hours per week, and to study, then indeed he can continue to do those things.And can my partner work whilst he is waiting for the application to be processed? His last visa allowed him to work 20 hours a week and study. I understand this will affect my benefits.
