Wow, another great source of information here too.
My wife is applying for the UK
ancestry visa in July, and I will be applying as a dependant. As we have a house and contents to sell, plus bring a dog, we have to wait until at least late September to leave with him, as per the PETS Scheme.
We have ample $$$ in the bank already, plus my wife's, her father's and then grandmother's long form birth certificates, up-to-date passports and accomodation already lined up (I used to live there on a
WHM visa in 1998-2000), and, "essentially", jobs. My concern is the time from when you apply to the time the visa "entry window" expires. As mentioned, we hope to apply in late July, and complete the biometrics by 1 August. From some people on various forums, I hear that you have to enter right away (i.e. 2 weeks), and other people have stated that you can have up to 90 days (ideal for us).
Are there some Ancestry visa holders out there that can shed some light on this?
Many thanks- this forum, along with others, really helps with the research and saves on those US$12 calls to the Consulate (or their agent, rather).
