leafmould Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 (edited) hi guys Does anyone know if there would be a problem applying for a UK settlment visa while the UK family visit visa is still usable? my wife got the 6 month visit visa in november and visited me in the UK for 6 weeks over christmas but we are about to apply for the settlement visa and its still usable, i guess there's no problem but....?

7by7 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Your guess is correct, there will not be a problem. Be aware, though, that this is a busy time of year for visa applications and settlement ones can take up to three months to process. During this time her passport will be with the application at the embassy, so she obviously will not be able to use any remaining time on the visit visa.
