Visa, time seperated

Post by craig1974 » Tue Jan 27, 2009 9:27 am

Hi All

Please can someone give me some advise and help on the following.
My wife was living here with me in the Uk, she is from colombia. She had a 2 year marriage visa. We seperated in May 2008 due to problems in our marriage.
She returned home, after aabout 3 months we started to contact each other in an effort to try and resolve our differences and safe our marriage which we now have.
We talk everyday now on the telpephne and write, we have been doing this since Nov 08.
I want her to come back to the Uk, we know she will need to apply for another marriage visa FLR, but honeslty what are our chances???? simply because we seperated, will thsi go against us in our hope of getting a visa?
I really am concerned and at my wits end as to what we can do, obviously we will tell the ECO all what as happended, but are our chances so low???

I do not want to fork out £500 if we have no chance of obtaining a visa again, so any advice on the above will be greatly appreciated please

No reason why they shouldn't issue a further visa, as long as you meet all the other requirements.

Have you met and discussed things face to face?That could help your application, if you maybe spent Christmas/New Year together.

I dont not think that your chances are 'so low', you are still married and are back together; I don't really know about visa re-issues so will let others give better advice, but it mght be good to explain why she returned and that things have been resolvd.

yes i went over there for 2 weeks to sort things out and we spent 2 weeks together and decided to save our marriage.
The reason we seperated was partly my fault as i was not giving her much attention, and going out with my mates but i learned my mistakes and she as forgive me for this

It just sounds like from a HO point of view, that you let her visa expire while she was out of the country. You could easily say that the economy was bad, she couldn't find work or simply you guys wanted to think over the game plan. To live in Brazil or the UK, still think the UK is best and want another visa. I don't think you need to go into the relationship suffered some bumps.
