Can you please tell me some of the questions they asked yo like you said when they grilled you with questions.
I really doubt you'll get grilled for just a 1-week visit. That's a normal length of time for a tourist to visit for.
However, as kbales mentioned, they were coming for 4 months which will pretty much automatically raise red flags, because it May look like you're trying to use a visitor visa to live in the U.K., and usually results in a lot more questions. Because regular visitors with jobs and lives back home usually can only take maybe 2 weeks of leave for a vacation... not 4 months.
So, a 4-month visit will raise questions like:
- why are you visiting for so long?
- how are you able to take that much time off work?
- how will you support yourself for 4 months without working?
- you're coming to stay with your UK spouse for 4 months... that's a long time... how do I know you will leave at the end of your visit?
Whereas a 1-2 week visit won't usually cause those questions to be asked, because you're only trying to stay for a few days, not a few months.
So you're more likely to get something like:
- how long are you visiting for?
- who are you visiting?
Then maybe a follow-up question or two... and that will probably be it.
