Family Visit Visa Validity

[boneycork]

Hi. I applied for a Family Visit visa for my wife last Christmas, as we intented to visit the UK to be with my parents during the festive period for one week. Unfortunately, the application was rejected, but the decision was later overturned. By the time this happened however, it was already too late to take the intended trip, but my wife still has a visa in her passport valid until the end of May.

We are intending now, instead, to take the trip before the end of April but I am a little concerned that we will run into problems when entering the UK considering most evidence and reasoning used in our original application is now either out-dated or incorrect. Are we likely to run into problems like this, or will they just accept our story at face value (or even care in the first place?) I really don't want to start having to obtain new cover-letters and start translating bank statements again.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Good people

I know some us us are struggling with finances and some can't even get a job until they get a decision with their passports from the HO. Therefore, it is EXPENSIVE calling those 0870/0845xxxxxxxxx numbers that the Home office generally provides.
Don't give up, now you can call Home Office for free, just check out www.saynoto0870.com and you will be provided with a local 0208/0151/0161xxxxxx number where you can contact HO for FREE! The actual number is 01516725626. (But log on to www.saynoto0870.com and confirm for yourself)
Especially if you have a pay monthly home or mobile telephone contract. You can still call from a pay as you go mobile but the charge rate will be like you are calling your neighbour next door on any 0208xxxxxxxx number.
Good luck Razz (Please share with others if it works for you!)
