Hello,
I did try doing a search for this question and nothing came up, so my apologies if it's been covered before.
The background is that my FLR(m) visa is set to expire in June 2020. The issue is that my family and I relocated to the Cayman Islands (a British Overseas Territory) in August 2018 for a job opportunity. We soon realized our egregious mistake and have been working on trying to move back to England. It's possible that my husband's current employer would relocate him to the London branch, but we have a lot of questions about what would happen in terms of my visa.
Would I need to start from scratch and apply from the U.S.? Could I move back immediately to England with my family, start acquiring British settlement documentations (e.g., our joint names on a tenancy agreement, our names on utilities bills, being registered to a GP surgery) and submit those, along with our Cayman documents, for a renewal of my Further Leave to Remain visa? Does it matter at all, for the sake of my visa, that Cayman is a British Overseas Territory?
We may need to talk to an immigration lawyer, but any assistance you could provide here would be most welcome!
