OK, so if I rush up there now and explain my mistake, that I thought I had to go before the 7th of July, does my employer need to be present?

Will I be fined, too late to go today, I will have to go on Monday...

No, because after that stamp, my employer went back the next day and I they put the slip into the passport giving me until July the 7th. My employer told me I need to go back, I assumed, to report before that date.

Well, it's got my old address on it, and something I'm trying to do requires that I get a copy of the owners house book. Which needs to match the address on my permit.

Not entirely true. My gf had her application processed and ok'd within 7 days. But it is cutting it a bit fine. I'd advise the OP to go through the online application asap, pay and get an appointment for her. Then get everything together asap.

Someone marked my passport main page with a black marker. Got pulled aside flying back into the UK because it wouldn't scan, but it wasn't a problem...

Just did one for my gf... Parent sponsored, wrote an invitation, showed their ID, proof of income to show support, proof of ownership of property we'd stay at plus some photos of the house, added a few bills and bank statements. Next, we added a letter from my gf, stating why she wanted to go, why she would defo be coming back, so, copies of bank statements, ownership of condo, letter from work on headed paper, travel history, copy of ID and passport. Also added a couple of photos of our relationship. Put it all in a neat folder with a contents page... We went a bit over the top, but it worked coz we remarkably got the visa within 3 working days! They didn't even do a telephone interview (which happened to my friends, so it is a possibility). Feel free to PM me if you want any more advice. Letters I wrote, I used a friends as a template and changed the obvious parts like name, passport no. Etc... However apparently templates are available online :)

You can, but I'd advise arriving early. Need to be done by 3:15 to give you time to get re-entry done. Get the form filled out, make sure you got a photo, and check what they need ie signed copy of passport.

Hi Todd, can you get a single re-entry permit, after getting the extension, and if so, how much is it?
