Hi,
My wife is currently on a Spouse Visa in the UK. She got Visa in Feb 2020 and it is valid till Nov 2022. We will be applying for a Spouse Visa Extension in 2022.
We haven’t traveled anywhere outside the UK yet (pandemic) and she needs to travel to India soon for 2-3 months.
I just want to make sure few things if it’s ok to ask please as I am unable to find valid answers as they vary and contradicts each other? Thanks:
Q1: What is the maximum time period to stay outside of the UK on a spouse visa?
Q2: Can you stay outside of the UK for 2-3 months on a spouse visa?
Q3: Will it affect the spouse visa extension application if you stay out of the UK for 2-3 months?
Q4: Can someone please explain how the Home Office calculates being out of the UK on Spouse Visa and being in the UK? I believe you have to be in the UK for at least 2 years and 5 months, then apply for an extension, stay for another 2 years and 5 months = total 5 years and then apply for an Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK and then apply for the British Citizenship. Is this correct please?
Thank you very much for your time and support. Really appreciate it.
