madjbs Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I Just applied for a visit visa for my girlfriend to visit the UK with me at Christmas. On the application I stated that we were going to stay in the UK until the 4th of Jan, however, my holidays have now changed and I am able to stay a little longer and get cheaper flights as well. I now plan to stay till the 9th of Jan which will increase our 2 week 5 day holiday to 3 and a half weeks. Will it matter in the future when we apply for another visa that we didn't leave on the exact date we stated on the first application?

Mossfinn Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 A few days over what you stated on the application will not matter, you even have a valid reason to explain the small difference. It is when the periods become longer, that some have suggested that there might be a problem in future. I requested, from memory, a couple of months VV and got the usual 6 month granted, so stayed the full period, no questions ever asked, or problems in future attempts, although I neither condone or suggest it is right or proper. Some suggest that it compromises your honesty and may complicate future requests, it has been discussed several times before and I can't remember Scouses advice on it. But in your case, it will be fine I would suggest. Good Luck Moss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mariner29 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 (edited) I doubt this will raise any further problems with future applications. Good luck. Edited October 31, 2008 by mariner29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madjbs Posted November 5, 2008 Author Share Posted November 5, 2008 Great result!! Our application was granted within just 2 days, we dropped it off on Friday afternoon and got the message to collect the passport early Tuesday morning. I was very happy as I was expecting it to be declined after reading all the horror stories I didn't even think the application was all that strong as the only real reason my girlfriend had for returning was the fact that I was returning, but in the end that was enough. I think the fact that I made a concise and tidy application folder helped as well, as they have kept 3 or 4 of the key parts and left all the others. If your application is all jumbled there is probably a high chance they could miss something. Good luck to anyone else who is in the process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
