Hello,
I am American and in June I applied for a spouse visa to join my husband in the UK and who is a UK citizen. We started the application process before we realized that we didn't have all 6 months of payslips and by that point weren't eligible for a refund so we finished applying hoping for a miracle. So essentially we don't actually qualify. Then the applications were all put on hold. I tried to withdraw my application through an email and fax, but never heard anything back. I reported my passport as lost and applied for a new one.
I am now residing in France and wondering if I can visit my husband in the UK. If I cross over into England with no problems, will there be repercussions for this when I reapply from America come December? My husband asked at the ferry crossing last weekend and was told by a border agent that their system has no way to tell whether I have a withdrawn spouse application pending. So essentially if I enter as a tourist then I shouldn't have any problems. I want to stay there for 2 months before returning home in December to reapply, but am wondering if there is some way that this will not bode well for the visa?
Thanks in advance for any insight anyone might have regarding this.
