[quote="rihsabramo"][quote="rihsabramo"]Once the visa is granted does my wife still have to come within 28days? Or has this rule changed? If she doesn't come in 28 days what happens? Also can she go back to visit Pakistan in the first 2years?[/quote]
Can anyone help? We have submitted the application but there are some problems at her university which mean she may have to stay a bit longer to finish her degree.[/quote]
rihsabramo - When your spouse is granted visa it will for 27 months. This means they can come within the first 3 months as long as she will be here for 2 years after that.
This is what it says on the website:
"If you delayed your journey to the UK by weeks or months after the date when you were given permission to enter, that permission will expire before the end of your 2-year qualifying period. In that case, you may need to apply to extend your visa using application form FLR(M) before you can apply for settlement.
