Yes, that is exactly what she will need to do as her visa expired more than 28 days ago. Her previous time in the UK is lost now. This is why I stated that they should have submitted an application online before the visa expired to maintain the status.THO wrote: ↑Thu Jul 30, 2020 11:53 amCR001
Do you mean this lady has to go through the whole spouse visa process from the start, as if she never lived in the UK with her husband? Pay the £1K+ visa fee and supply all the documents required to prove the relationship etc, and then do it again in 2.5 years? Plus the NHS surcharges?
There must be some way to avoid this, maybe go to the UK embassy and they could issue a vignette?
You should have made a spouse visa online application before your visa expired to maintain the status, as the date of application is the date you submit and pay online and not a VFS appointment date. VFS is ONLY a third party agent and not UKVI or embassy staff.Bapi wrote: ↑Thu Jul 30, 2020 8:26 amThank You for your reply CR001 , But this is not my fault, just because of travel restriction and Lock down of Covid-19 Pandemic. There should be concession in this type situations. I am contacting CIH from the beginning.
They are even unable to answer, when my visa expired VFS was closed in India as well.
Really worried now. Don't understand what should i do now ?
She doesn't have ILR. She traveled shortly before her spouse visa expired, intending to return to apply for ILR before expiry date and couldn't come back, so the visa expired in May.THO wrote: ↑Thu Jul 30, 2020 1:43 pmThat seems very unfair in these circumstances, no one has a crystal ball and could say what would happen.
Still confused though, if she already had ILR, then doesn't that mean she has a right to return already?
I also would give a try at getting her husband to speak to his MP, since there is never anyone who can answer any questions at the HO directly.
Sorry for questioning further, but this is important to keep in mind, because when my wife's visa is close to needing to be renewed, then we will not be travelling anywhere.
