Spouse visa
Hi everyone, I need some advice regarding my UK travel history and future visa.
Here is my situation:
• 1st visit (2024): Stayed for 8 months (before ETA was required).
• 2nd visit: Returned using an ETA and stayed for only 4 months, complying with all immigration rules.
• Current status: I’ve been in a relationship with my husband for 2 years. I’m currently outside the UK and it’s very difficult to be apart from him.
Given that I stayed 8 months on my first trip but strictly followed the rules on my second (shorter) visit, how likely is this previous long stay to affect a future visa application? Has anyone been in a similar situation?
Thanks in advance!
