i think he did know better, that's why they applied for a visit visa, valid for 6 months but you get back in the UK, one of the reasons why visit visa for spouses are difficult to get

Rules are rules no exceptions should be made for these people the woman should have done what untold Aussies/Brits do and got joint citizenship. Not an ounce of sympathy from me

nor me dedworth, I'm sure they knew the rules, why would you apply for a visit visa then and not just try and come back to the UK? because they found out they wouldn't get back in the UK. they be sent back on the next plane.

There was a case on here some time ago. I think it was raised by Fred.
Similar circumstances but an elderly couple. Can't recall the detail (or find the thread)

The Home Office applied the rules strictly then also.
