Contacted for collection today.... gonna collect on monday...

Just one last question....
If your visa is refused how long do they take to refund the IHS?

No refund as yet so very hopeful.

That's not true.

The fiance visa vignette is valid for 6 months and is multiple entry. So caty is free to travel to the UK whenever she likes during the 6 months of the visa. She can also leave the UK and go back to the US as much as she likes BEFORE the wedding. It's only after the wedding that you cannot travel, because you are no longer a fiance and might not be allowed back into the UK on a fiance visa.

It's only the spousal visa vignette that is only valid for 30 days and you must enter and collect your BRP within those 30 days.

Is it within 30 days of decision for the spouse visa? Or will they give specific dates that you have to travel by?

The 30 days will start from the ‘valid from’ date printed on your visa, which is normally the Intended Date of Travel that you put on the visa application, but recently they have been making the visa valid for 7 days before the date you put.

If the date you put has passed before the visa is issued, it will either be made valid from the date the decision is made, or for a date near that day.
