My wife is in Geneva for six months at one of the NGO's so has a proper visa. Since it's 6 months, a regular visa would only work for 90 days and I applied for a family reunification visa on June 11. The web site said it could take up to 12 weeks, but it's been 16. I now have only another week until my 90 days are up.
1. If I leave for the UK until it's approved, will there be a problem coming back since there are so few days left on the original 90-day visa (I'll need to get the approved one in Geneva, assuming all goes well...)?
2. Has anyone had this situation? How long did it take to get approved? Any experience with it being rejected?
3. Is there anything I can do to help the process? I don't want to just hassle them on the phone. Is there anything I can say that would potentially increase the urgency (without making things worse!)?
I came here knowing my 90 days could expire before things came through, but it really didn't seem likely.
Thanks for any help, suggestions, etc.
