Question in Settlement visa application

[taromiew]

Hello

In the spouse visa application, there is a question '[i]Have you ever been deported, removed or otherwise required to leave any country, including the UK in the last 10 years?' [/i] This requires a yes or no answer.

My husband-to-be was a refused asylum seeker - the home office suggested he should make arrangements to leave the country - he was given the opportunity to appeal but did not and chose to leave the country voluntarily. So, does that mean he should answer YES to this question? He was never deported nor removed.

Many thanks for your response.

Thanks blessedlady89. I thought as much.

As he applied for asylum does that mean he should also answer YES to the following question: Have you made an application to the Home Office to remain in the UK in the last 10 year?

Thanks again.
