Do I need updated documents to show at border control due to delayed trip?
My trip to UK was planned from Sep6-Sep30, 2021. I expected my tourist visa to come before that but visa got delayed by 2 weeks. I submitted Employment Leave Letter and Invitation Letter in support of my visa application.
My visa has been issued which is valid from Sep 15 onwards. The delay was caused by UKVI
My updated trip is now from Sep 29-Oct18 2021. I am now confused if I should get a new Employment Leave letter from my employer and new Invitation letter as I have read that immigration officers checks all the documents to determine if you would leave the country after the trip.
Has anyone been in this situation before? How did you justify the old documents at Border control if asked.
Best Answer
I cleared my immigration at LHR yesterday and luckily they did not ask me any questions regarding the change in travel dates. I did kept all the updated documents as mentioned by DavidSupportsMonica.
I was asked the following questions by the immigration officers.
- What is the purpose of your visit
- How long have you known your gf
- How long are you planning to stay
- What does she do in UK?
