Spouse visa curtailment

Post by Aladino » Mon Jul 22, 2019 3:36 pm

Hello I have a problem of visa curtailment ..
I had an argument with my wife (the sponsor) and I came back to my home country for 2 weeks (june 2019) .. in those 2 weeks she complained that I threaten to kill (domestic violence)and she said to me that they took her to a safe house and they curtailed my visa but I didn't get notified with anything and I am outside the UK.. I am afraid if I come back to understand what happened and to explain that was a game from her the police catch me or they stop me in the airport there ... I contacted home office they sent me this email " Hello

 

Whilst I cannot give out any information due to Data Protection. 

I can confirm that if your leave was to be Curtailed, then you would be notified.

 

Thanks

 

Team Member 6"

So there's no proof that my leave was curtailed and now I've more than a month in my home country and I didn't get any notification from home office.. please advice if I take a risk and come back to the UK or not and when the home office should inform me with the curtailment
Thanks in advance

This post seems a different circumstance to what you posted previously.

However, if HO know that a person has left the UK, curtailment is often not sent but the systems are updated. That aside, curtailment notices could be sent by email and could take a while to be sent.

There could be anything, maybe she just joked/verbally threatened you. But if she really has already informed to HO then they might have curtailed your visa. NO harm in trying your right of work at below to see what does it say?

I put my details in the link you gave me of the right to work in the UK, it gave me this "You can work in the UK until 17 September 2021

Details
You can work in any job." Does that mean I can come back to the UK without any restriction??

Yeah circumstances change always it can't be the same always... regarding what you said about notice by email could take a while but I don't think it will take more than a month as I'm in my home country since 14 june 2019 and she said that my leave is curtailed on 20 june do you think it take the HO more than a month to notify me ?

Curtailment letters can take a few weeks/months IF you are in the UK. It could be sooner or not at all if you are out of the UK and HO is aware you are abroad.

Thanks a lot for your answer but in my case I'm not sure if my wife (sponsor) is saying the truth and in the same time I'm worried if I try to come they catch me in the airport ... is there anyway to know if my visa is curtailed or not ... the link that you gave me in this thread and I put my details in said that I still have the right to work in the UK till 2021 so with my little understanding for this issues that HO update his system .. just help me how to know if it's curtailed and if I have the right to come back to UK?

If its still showing your right to work then no harm in trying to return but asap.

If system still showing till 2021 then it means that your visa hasn't been curtailed yet because if that was the case then you see different status.

Thank you for your answer ... you said it's not cancelled yet .. does it mean it could be cancelled but the system is still not up to date and I'm sorry for asking to much as I want to come back to UK to clarify my status with my wife and I don't want to be arrested or something.. by the way my wife (sponsor accused me with threat to kill which didn't happen, but she did it to curtail my visa quickly.. and she did that on 14 june 2019 it means about a month and half now .. but it still saying I've the right to work till 2021 and i didnt get any notification from HO

Just fly with the believe that it hasnt yet been cancelled. But also remember that still if the airport immigration staff have received any report about you or assessed any suspicion then you can be in problem.

If you have been living abroad from the last one year then what you think as how should have the notification been served on you? Most often all notifications are being sent to last known UK postal address.

As I know in my case I get a notification by post and on the email I made the visa application with... which I didn't get over both postal and email. .. Inaddition that I've contact with my wife (the spnsore) and she didn't receive it at my address in the uk ... and on top of that when i put my details on right to work in the uk I still get the answer that I can work till September 2021 ... so by my little understanding for these things I see my visa still working but am not really sure so I prefered to ask qualified ppl like on this forum. ..

I'm not sure what you are hoping to achieve by returning to the UK after almost one year away. Even if you are permitted entry, as your relationship has broken down your right to remain as a spouse will end. From the tone of your posts, it seems that your wife won't support your visa extension or ILR application, which is a crucial requirement to any application under the family route being approved for settlement.

Assuming your current visa hasn't already been curtailed, when does this expire. :?:

Thanks for your quick reply...
My current visa will expire on September 2021 ...
My reason of coming back is to try and find a legal solution for my situation... to try and go on the domestic violence route if I can as the first time I was under a threat and even the police didn't help as they put me in the street and told me to sort myself out as they didn't face problems with migrant before knowing that I was living in a small village ..

Or I try to find another sponsor before my visa expire ... I don't know if I still can do that so I prefered to ask on here

You don't have a case for domestic violence based on your posts you have made. You cannot just SAY you are a victim of DV, you need substantial evidence. DV is also an abused immigration route and comes under a LOT of scrutiny by HO.

Not sure what you mean by 'Sponsor'???

Now you're intending to claim right to remain under Domestic Violence :? :idea:

You cannot switch to a work visa within the UK if you manage to re-enter the UK on the spouse visa. You have to apply for a work visa from your home country.
