Leaving UK While Waiting for Spouse Visa

Post by schooley2018 » Fri Jul 05, 2019 6:19 pm

Hello!

I'm an American currently waiting for my Spouse Visa. I applied in February 2018 and originally thought the process would take 8 weeks, but now I am on month 4 of waiting. I am going back home to the states in August for 2 weeks to celebrate our marriage and I'm wondering if leaving and returning to the UK will affect my visa my at all. Will I even be allowed back in or will it cancel my visa if I leave. If anyone has went through anything like this/has any information that would be amazing. Thank you for helping during a very stressful time.


Sincerely,

Mrs. T

What was your visa category when you applied for the spouse visa? Did you meat all the requirements?

Yes, your application will be considered withdrawn and you lose your fee.
Will I even be allowed back in or will it cancel my visa if I leave.
What visa do you hold??
