sabdart Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I've completed the application process for the renewal of my married person visa and the result date is set for next month. Since then I have been asked to travel on and around that date for some personal matters. Is it possible and likely the visa people will move the result date a few days earlier or later?

Popular Post ubonjoe Posted April 23, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 23, 2015 You can travel within the under consideration period you got after applying for an extension of stay based upon marriage (it is not a visa).. If leaving the country you can get a re-entry permit that will be valid up to the report back date, The will not give anymore days for the report back date. Often the extension is approved prior to the report back date. You can check with immigration to see if it is done yet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mca Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 It's definitely worth checking to see if it's been approved early. I once called a week before the month approval period was up and immi said it was ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willyumiii Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Yep, what Joe said! Last year, I had a conflicting doctors appointment on the date I was scheduled for my visa extention " approval". I phoned immigration a week early and explained and asked if I could reschedule the date. They told me that my extension had already been approved and that I could coe in a pick it up that day. I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I went back for mine the IO that did marriage extensions hadn't turned up and the boss asked if we would come back the following week. We declined and said we would wait it out, the IO in question turned up about 2 hours later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabdart Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Hi Sandyf, thanks for your info, my understanding is there is a difference between appearing a few days late but remaining in the country and trying to get back into the country a few days late. The former doesn't seem to be such an issue where as the latter would be because the stamp would have already expired and entry would be denied.

In my case it was purely down to a staffing issue, but an indication that it cannot be that important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
