questions asked to spouse at UK border

Post by jayess » Thu Oct 01, 2009 12:38 pm

HI

when my spouse comes over to the UK, does anyone know what the likelihood will be of them asking her any questions about her marrige etc??

do they normally ask questions or do they just check documents and let you go ?

does I have to be their to collect her from airport (because her brother was going to collect her) and would they call me in to Immigration ??

They may well wish to speak tou you to confirm that you are in fact in the UK.

I agree with UKbabble, that you should go to meet her rather than her brother just in case they want to ask you some questions.

Most importantly jaysee, have you established, where you stand with your wife in regards to the relationship. I could not help noticing you had some concern about her commitment.

Have those concerns been erased or ceased to exist?

the concerns have been addressed - generally, things are better, but there are one or two minor things that need further discussion

Because on the phone they could be talking to any Tom Dick or Harry instead of the applicants spouse :roll:

I mean what geyser wouldnt like to welcome his spouse on her first visit to this country by meeting her at the airport.

Sounds like something is not right here,but cant put my finger on it......yet 8)

Pleased to hear the concerns have been addressed. In regards to your question, there is every possibility the Immigration Officer will try to establish whether or not your wife is coming to join you, whether or not you are in the UK and whether or not the marriage is subsisting since the visa was issued.

If all of those questions are answered by your wife in an acceptable manner and in the positive, then you might not be contacted. Having said so, it will be best for you to be at the airport to prevent any harassment or intimidation that may arise.

Do you intend to go after her to the UK or what?

rebel82

from your member name, I guess you were born in 1982.....

I was born in 1973.....

My command of the english language is more likely to be greater than yours, as the quality of teaching has declined since the onset of the 1990's....

I hope you dont mind the above comments.....

I wasn't questioning whether or not you are British born and bred or anything. I was merely trying to establish whether or not you will be in the UK on the day your wife arrives.

If you will be, then that is perfect. If you will not be , for any reason, she might encounter some difficulties.

Sorry for any obscurity in my previous question.

I suggest you take a look at your own level of literacy before you start deriding others.
