Short-term visitors are in the most fragile position. You may be prevented from leaving until the case ends, and your permitted stay may run out in the meantime. Whether you can remain while the case continues, and how, depends on the facts. Move quickly: a fast resolution at the investigation stage — for example, a settlement with the complainant — is often the most realistic path home.
