BUNAC then Spousal -- would I need to wait?
« on: July 19, 2006, 07:55:47 PM »
One of my options I am considering for my future is BUNAC.  I am engaged to a Brit, and am considering doing BUNAC before we get married.  I graduate this coming may, and wondered...if I do BUNAC for the 6 months, then we get married over here in the US and I get a spousal visa to live in the UK with him, is there a certain amount of time I should/need to wait between those visas?  As in, is there a waiting period I would have to do between coming back from the UK under a BUNAC visa and returning on a spousal visa?

Hope I made sense, thanks!

No mandatory waiting period, just the processing time of the visa.

Alright, cool, thanks :) makes that option still doable then.  Just didn't want to get weird holdups at immigration for it for some reason.  ::)
