Any issues for re-entry after last visit exceptional assurance?

[onkp]

Hi,

My mom have long term visitor visa. In her last visit to the UK on this visa, she was granted exceptional assurance for 3-4 months, and she used it. After that time, she went to India, and now she have nearly completed her 6 months there. In a normal scenario, she can come to the UK after staying for 6 months in India, but as she used exceptional assurance in her last visit, can it create any problems for entry after 6 months of stay in India?

Thanks

Keep in mind that the rules for visit visas is not six-months-in-a-year, but whether the person is trying to "reside in the UK in the guise of a visit visa, by frequent or successive visits".

So the question really is how would the Immigration Officer be likely to perceive your mother's visit to the UK? And that will take into account not only the exceptional assurance, but also her past history of traveling to the UK.

The general rule of thumb is that the visitor (in this case, your mother) should have spent a longer period of time residing at home (i.e. in her home country or her country of habitual residence) than the UK. But as mentioned above, the previous history of travel is also taken into account.
