Returning to UK for a Short Visit
#1
![Default](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I am a UKC and GC holder married to a USC. We recently spent 6 months in the UK while visiting my elderly parents (both of whom had surgery during our visit).
The six month visit to the UK was my first trip outside the US in the past 4 years (since getting my GC).
We have now returned to the US but would like to return to the UK in a month or so for a two week visit to check on my parents.
I am wondering if my wife will have problems re-entering the UK since she stayed six months on her last visit. Also, am I likely to experience problem when re-entering the US given the time I have already spent in the UK?
