You have not yet violated any rule even if you stay to the end of your current visit visa as long as you are a bona fida visitor. But the visa you have is not a multiple entry visa so if you go to France before the end of your current visa, you have left the UK and that visa is no longer valid ...

Is there any reason (other than your partner) why you are living as a visitor in the UK? Are you undertaking any employment, study or other such activity? Your long periods of 'visiting' will likely arouse suspicion - I doubt you'd be able to extend your visitor's visa after having lived here ...

See also Section 1 - Visitors . See also Section 1 - Visitors . Ah, thanks for the info. I see it says "A visitor should not, for example, normally spend more than 6 out of any 12 months in this country" So it seems that they would take both my visits into account which would add up to 12 months ...

If your employer will put in writing great but your regular invoices should be enough Thanks. It seems like the application is a little vague in this area so I'm sending everything I've got (payslips, invoices, tax returns, bank statements, letter from employer stating salary, letter of verbal ...

Independent Contractor with only Verbal Contract

For an Independent Contractor it states that you must provide copies of contracts. I've never had a written contract with my employer. I have every thing else (bank statements, payslips, invoices, letter from employer). Will a letter from my employer stating that I'm under a verbal contract be ok ...

Salary proof confusion: please help

I am a freelance employee which means that every week I submit an invoice via email to the company for the hours worked. They use direct deposit to pay me and I get a pay stub (on letterhead) in the mail that says the amount. Will I need to have both my pay stubs AND invoices signed and stamped by ...

University letter from school in U.S.?

Hi, I've searched and wasn't able to find any info on this. I received a Bachelors degree from a university in the United States. I'm an American citizen and will be applying from the US. Do I still need a letter from my university saying that my classes were taught in english?
