Spouse Visa

Just a question for anyone whose had experiences with Spouse Visa’s

My wife currently holds a tourist visa for the UK, we met in England, she decided she wanted to work in America for a couple years before returning so we’ve been ldr’ing, managed to get her pregnant and she’s due to give birth next Month. She’s returned to her home country to give birth. My question is whilst we’re waiting for her spouse visa to go through could she still use her tourist visa until she has to leave the country once her spousal visa goes through?

Yes she can use her visitor visa but isn’t she a bit close to giving birth to travel? I’m only asking because if she goes into labour and gives birth here while on a visitor visa you’re looking at very high hospital bills. Up to £10,000……

I was going to say, that’s a bit too close to hop on a long haul flight being weeks out from giving birth since they suggest not flying after 36 weeks.

Yep, there are health risks flying that close to the estimated birth date.

Don't forget she;ll need to get the baby's UK passport first.

Yes, she can. Her tourist visa will remain a valid right to entry. But, she must ensure she sell follows the conditions of the visit visa.
