Spouse visa granted… under a 5-year route?

Post by Jaune08 » Mon Sep 09, 2019 6:30 am

Dear members,

I’ve got the approval letter from Home Office and I have a major confusion about the wording used for the 5-year route. Turns out I got the letter by email while I’m still waiting for my passport, and when I’ve read the letter, it isn’t stated anywhere under which route I have been put. This goes as follows:
Letter wrote:You must present this letter to the Immigration Officer upon arrival in the UK.

Dear,
Your application for a UK visa has been successful. This means that when you arrive in the UK you will have permission to be in the UK (known as Leave to Enter) as PARTNER (STANDARD)
I have entirely scanned the letter and there’s no mention of the route whatsoever. Firstly, I assumed I was put on a 5-year route due to the “Standard” mention. However, I’m worried that I’ve been put under a 10-year route since I’ve got a previous refusal (but appealed and overturned the decision) and I have a British child. I asked to my solicitor about this and has said the wording is indeed ambiguous, therefore couldn’t guarantee is a 5-year route.

I’d appreciate any input you can provide to this (if by standard it means 5-year route), or if anyone has applied recently and got the letter, can you please tell me if it looks like mine?

Thank you!

It should be under normal 5 year of route because (flrfp)10 years route visa can't be granted from outside the UK.
The opinion expressed as above is neither a professional advice nor contesting/competing to other member's opinion/advice.

Thank you seagul!! I was just worried because I was shown a letter exactly like mine but it was referring to a 10-year route, which was so weird actually.
