Leaving and going home

After getting married August 24, and going home Sunday back to Toronto, i already feel sad and heart broken, Am going to miss my wife her family and already depressed.. I feel  very disconnected, but hoping my photography will help me through all this and be back to the UK with my Wife in York. Got my documents for the settlement Visa going. hopefully it will all come to pass.

Anyone feel the same way like me and how to cope

I too got married 24th August, but in Memphis and had to return home to England on the 28th Its miserable at the moment. I hope your visas go smoothly, we're not applying until December but I'm still holding out hope for a Christmas reunion!

My coping mechanism so far has just been to stay busy, sorting through wedding photos, organising the visa paperwork, working, looking after my 4 year old starting school, and lots and lots of Skype time. It helps a little, but the separation pain this time is much more acute than after previous visits

Just as an FYI, the UKVI gets REALLY busy in December because everyone seems to want to be together for Christmas. I would get your application in ASAP and go priority if you can.

No can do unfortunately, i lived in my overdraft to the tune of £1k a month until end of May, but I'm out of that now but need 6 months clear bank statements to submit to the UKVI which takes us up to end November earliest. I'd love to apply now since we largely have the funds, I just don't have a nice clear financial/bank history. Plus I had a 12k deposit from my mum as she long term loaned us the money to pay for wedding/visas, which I wont show on the bank statements if I wait til November.

It doesn't matter about your outgoings and you don't need 6 months of 'clear' bank statements either - what you do with your money after it has entered your account is irrelevant for the visa.

So it doesn't matter if you go into an overdraft each month and it doesn't matter if the £12K shows on your statements either - you can just have your mum write a letter explaining it was a wedding gift.

All they care about is that you are paid at the minimum financial requirement amount before tax each month and that the money is deposited into a bank account in your name. The only transaction they care about is that payslip deposit each month.

So, if you meet the financial requirement right now, then go ahead and apply right now. There's no need to wait until November just to make your bank balance look good.

Stubbornbrit, i truly hope your dreams come true as well as mine..i came back on the 6 sept, i want to join my wife for christmas, i have a marriage visa that would have taken me to December 22/2015, i want to be there for christmas with my wife, thats the reason i am back here..it would have really eaten me inside leaving on the 22, Dec.

Absolutely agree...god am gutted

How you doing? Literally just been talking to my husband about this and how it sucks so much worse than usual, but we can both feel it's getting a little easier knowing it's getting closer. Have you applied for your visa yet?

Good Luck...let us know

We were married in the States, and hubby had to head home 5 weeks after the wedding, and we were apart 2 2/12 LONG months before he was back. Then, a few years later when we decided to move to the UK, he went a month ahead of me, and I went for just under 6 months on a visitor's visa. After that I came home for the 2 months it took to get my visa. Before it was time to apply again, hubs decided he liked living in the US more, so we moved back over. We filed DCF, but I was still back here a month before him.

We spent all those times keeping busy with work, spending time with family and friends (especially the one who was moving and wouldn't see them for a while), and more or less anything we could to make the time go by. We called a couple times a day, texted throughout the day, and spent time online at least daily, talking about everything and nothing. In a way it was like dating again, when we had to rely on computers and phones to keep in contact.
