Hi, My parents applied for a 2 year visit visa which was granted. The visa sticker on their passport shows a start and end date spanning two years as expected.

Visit visas are just that, for visits, two weeks here, a month there, the six month validity is allow some flexibility with that, not stay here six months at one pop. That's residency, not visiting.

Years of abuse of a visa route doesn't justify punishing everyone else who is playing by the rules. They could have called if they had any concerns. Had I be...
Hi, Visitor visa application of my in-laws was refused last month. It came as a surprise as they were granted a UK visa before. The only change in circumstances from last time was their sponsors (my wife and myself) are now British citizens. They overlooked documentation provided for fixed deposits....

I think they did consider it, I had also attached a sheet listing all absences with dates of arrival and departure and had requested for discretion. I had attached original death certificate of my grandmother. I had also provided P-60s for the entire 5 year period. I wasn't asked any questions by th...
We just returned from Croydon PEO, all documents were returned and they said ILR is granted for me and my wife and BRPs will be sent in 7-10 days. I was really nervous and am glad that the £2066 did not go waste. Now we can plan a long due trip to India! I have been reading this forum without regist...
I have a PEO appointment at Croydon tomorrow morning, I wonder if I should be applying and what are my chances of success, especially as I read that unpaid absences are not aggregated when excercising discretion.
