"The longer you're on a route, the longer you're open to government changing their mind, the costs, or getting things wrong. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy."
"I paid a lawyer to make sure I was doing everything correctly, but they accidentally put the wrong end date on my visa. It was meant to be for two and a half years but it arrived on May 22 and ended on June 4 which gave me less than two weeks."
An American woman married to a British man received a Home Office visa that was valid for less than two weeks due to an incorrect end date. The error forced her to apply for a second visa and use savings intended for a home deposit to cover costs. Five months after submitting an official complaint, officials had not responded. The woman arrived in the UK in 2017 for postgraduate study and is on a partner visa with a five-year qualifying period for indefinite leave to remain. She opposes proposals to extend the qualifying period to ten years because of increased cost and instability.
