Settlement Visa Validating Question

Post by Sheila » Mon Nov 19, 2007 11:40 pm

My husband has applied for a settlement visa. We have been married 7yrs. He is currently in Australia waiting for his visa to be granted. I am in UK.
Does anyone know whether I have to be in the UK when he actually lands in UK to validate? There is a strong chance i may have to go on a very important business trip abroad which will clash with him arriving here.

Shiela, while there is no legislation that says that you have to be physically present while he enters the UK, it woulld be better if you were around. If not, atleast be in contact by roaming services so that you can be reached if the Immigration officer at the Port of Entry gives any trouble.

But, by law, he cannot be turned back just beacuse you are currently not in the country.

Could he not just come at a time when you will definintely be here, in case of any difficulties?
I am not, and cannot, offer legal advice to particular people. I can only discuss general areas of immigration law.

People should always consider obtaining professional advice about their own particular circumstances.

I am hoping I can be here and there is a good chance i will be. I am just covering myself in case the worst happens as my job can take me into Europe at short notice for several days at a time and knowing my luck it will clash. Lets hope not!!
