Hi my husband came on a 5 year route spousal visa which expired in February and he reapplied for the family visa. He got notification that it was successful today but only for 8 months? We were expecting another 2.5 years. Any idea why this has happened and should we be worried?

Should we be worried ? Yes, definitely......

Well could you at least shed any light why you think that? My BP just went up. What might be the reasons and which visa would we apply for in October?

I rang them. The lady escalated our case. She told me in these cases it is likely an error on the date. Should have said 2028 which would make much more sense.

That was my first thought. Hopefully they sort it quickly for you 🤞

Yeah Thanks Shelley,

We have since had an email saying they have "made an error" pretty sure all will be well. Waiting to hear more. Fingers crossed

Just had another email with the updated date of 2028! Phew that was a bit scary LOL. They sorted it in 6 hours!!! Wow.. and now...breathe
