Re: Moving back to UK - Need help on settlement visa
Flea can you tell me how long a person has to enter the UK one a visa has been granted (IIRC when we had the SV before it was 3mths). We fall between ILR and Spouse Visa as we've been married for 4yrs officially (in Oz) on Nov 19th this year, but lived together before that and were married (unnoficially) in Korea in 04 (it's a long story and the Korean civil register is uber complicated and not recognised here in our case). We did spend 3 mths in the UK in 06 and we're looking to go at the end of the year. So I'm not sure how they will view us, ILR or not.
Also can anyone tell me if there would be a requirement for us to be in the same country before applying? We're trying to cover all angles in Mrs Triboy finishing her degree, the whole 4 yr thing and me being offered a job over there in the meantime (if that happens).

I'm in the same boat Jack. I reckon that saying that you will stay in a hotel until you can rent, is an option. What it does mean is that when you arrive in the UK, if you are checked, and don't have a hotel booking, you could be refused entry. Noway am I booking a hotel until I have a visa.

We left so soon after it was granted i dont know how long the limit of entry is.
I know they had extended the visa to 27mths which adds on the extra 3mths.
If you are not applying until the 4yr marriage date has past i cant see a problem though, but if you are saying you want to apply before that date then i am not sure. Best ask JAJ i guess.
