Visitors may not switch to spouse status from within the UK.ado.machung wrote:We would like to go to the UK initially to get "a feel of things", for a few months atleast, and if positive, stay on indefinitely.
Thanks Vinny, but that's not what i meant. Sorry if i was not clear.
Even if we return in a couple of months ?I would never adive visit visa if you are married.
So in my view apply for spouse visa instead of visit visa.
Simple is that

You don't think my wife will face consequences later on ?
If your concern is that we take up residence on a visit visa, then that's not going to happen. We would eventually return and re-apply for settlement visa if things go well.
It's just an expensive affair that way.
That's what i'm trying to get at.lubzy wrote:I think the OP concern is that if they went abroad for a while after obtaining entry via settlement visa, his wife would not subsequently satisfy the ILR criteria. Would they have to keep requesting FLR (if allowed) or re-apply in the future?

Can you ask in plain english please what you inquiry is and maybe then when some of us understand it can respond to it
I guess that settles it !batleykhan wrote:I agree with post from UKBabble
But would Eco not ask why the hell you are applying spouse visa again and why on earth you got 2 years visa but declined to live in UK.ado.machung wrote:batleykhan wrote:Your comments have certainly confused people and I for one still have no idea what yoyu are talking about.

Simply put - Will my wife be refused a settlement or visit visa in the future, if she returns to Colombo prematurely on a current settlement visa and doesn't go back to the UK within the validity period (ie. it expires while she's out of the UK) ?
As long as my reasons for settling in the UK are genuine, I should be able to prove it.immigrationuk2009 wrote: But would Eco not ask why the hell you are applying spouse visa again and why on earth you got 2 years visa but declined to live in UK.

I would apply for visit visa (since you can proof you have more reason stay in Sri Lanka, i.e would go back) and if the wife likes it here then you can always come back and settle here.ado.machung wrote:lubzy wrote: Btw, in reply to the earlier post, i have more reasons to stay back in Sri Lanka (ie; Assets and Family), as apposed to settling in the UK, so visit visa shouldn't be an issue.
