Girlfriend from US arriving as a visitor

Post by CouldUseSomeHelpPlease » Sun Apr 10, 2011 11:14 pm

I'm flying with my US girlfriend from the USA to the UK (I'm a UK citizen) in a couple of weeks with mind to her staying here as a visitor for 6 months or less.

She's stayed in the UK for 6 months before (returned about 10 months ago) but that time on her way in she was subjected to a lengthy interview...

I'm worried about a couple of things.

Firstly her return ticket is for 4 months later but we're hoping to have that changed, will she be forced to stay for only 4 months if that's what she declares based on the ticket? Should we tell them we intend to cancel the flight or move it or will that count against us?

Secondly she doesn't have much money in her bank account and I'll be supporting her. Will it be enough for me to show I have enough cash in my account? Should I transfer money into her account?

Thank you everyone it'll be a big weight off my mind if I had more understanding of these points. :)

She's been back in the USA for 10 months so I don't think this will be a problem(?)
