hi

If you have a look lower down the forum, there will be an answer for your question. The post is titled "one way ticket"

Hope this will help.

good luck

Hello,

I was the one who posed this question about a week or so ago. I phoned the British High Commission, and they said that as long as you have the WHM visa, it acts as an entry type of visa. So, they cannot expect you to have a return ticket, when you're allowed to stay in the UK for two years. When arriving in the UK, they may ask what your main purpose of entering the UK, so make sure you say "travel," and not working!

Hope this was helpful!

THanks Alana and LAYDY for your responses. This helps me out a lot. I'm just waiting for my passport to be sent back to me with the documents in it! It has been quite a looong process seeing i had to start appealing the decision but in the end, they realized the error and turned over the decision. Smile
