The visa is validated on entering the country - so 4 years from arrival date. As phillc said - make sure every t is crossed and every i dotted. They are VERY particular. But if all the paper is in order then its no trouble. Rob's was slightly different as he had a 1 year ltr as the spouse of a Brit, applied for indefinite 2wks before the date and had it back (all via snail mail) within a week. In spite of changing jobs during the 1st year when he shouldn't have. |
