Re: Returning Resident UK

NTL is no time limit. It's just the form. In the end you get a Biometric Resident Permit (BRP) --- which I think is 21st Century ILR. I think like a Green Card :-)

Re: Returning Resident UK

That's pretty mean. Think logically - the same outcome would've happened - but it would just've wasted everyone's time and money. I am glad more sensible people run UK Visas. Life is too short.

Re: Returning Resident UK

Back in UK --- yay. On entry they were a little baffled. Checked with supervisor who let her in but with confusion. Whilst in UK I called up UK Visas and Immigration - was given very misleading...

Re: Returning Resident UK

I hope they give her a new stamp as what concerns me is it looks like she is only allowed back until 05/18. Of course, that would not make sense. Imagine traveling out of the county or registering...

Re: Returning Resident UK

So the good news is that I applied for Returning Resident and wife got the passport and visa this morning. It took just 2 weeks.

They stamped the passport with a returning resident 6 month...

Re: Returning Resident UK

Wife is originally Indian. Her status is H4 (i.e. accompanying me who is on H1B).

Yes i am ready for the 'long battle'. It seems like we have to:

a) try the Returning Resident SET09
b) if...

Re: Returning Resident UK

Literally sounds like Uk gov are basically refusing anything that doesn't look like you never intended to leave for long. Our kids are definitely not dual national, we're all British except the...

Re: Returning Resident UK

Oh I know that and it's pretty well known 6-12 months. But I, like many others who were caught unawares of the 2 year rule for ILR. In 1990 we didn't receive (or keep) any paperwork from gov. In...

Re: Returning Resident UK

Nothing to do with finances or work commitment (my wife doesn't work in USA and was not allowed to on an H4).

Others have mentioned on this forum that as soon as you travel to the UK as a visitor...

Re: Returning Resident UK

We honestly never thought of it as a problem and would 'one day' get round to it, if necessary. Her uncle is a Doctor in UK and has been ILR for 40 years. We incorrectly assumed it was indefinite...

Re: Returning Resident UK

I read on this forum they (ECO) generally reject returning resident visa applications (because >2 years, which is illogical).

I'm British, but my wife, who entered UK in 1987, is not. We've been...
