Hello everyone....

[Rob & Anne]

Hi!

This is my first post here although I and my husband registered here last year and i think my husband has posted few questions here before. I've been reading post and infos here and following advices and they're very helpful thanks to all of you. Its very heart-warming and amazing how you guys here take time to post and answer q's even for those people whom you really don't know but its very nice of you all.

My husband is British by the way and i'm a filipina,we are both 26 years of age and had been in a relationship for almost 2 years and 10 mos now. We got married 2 years after we met and had been keeping in touch from the day we met until now. He works as a supervisor in one of the PC world stores in England and as for me I was working for the mayor in our local city but i resigned when i applied for a visit visa last year supposedly to focus on it but unfortunately we were refused.

I'm on my 9th week and 2 days of waiting for the result of my spouse visa application. This is my second visa application for Uk. My first was a visit visa but was refused and it was a terrible experience for me even traumatic cos now i'm sooo worried about the outcome of my spouse visa. I couldn't eat and sleep well thinkin about it and ive lost weight :bigcry: . Am I the only one here worrying this much? And now im even more worried cos we only submitted 4mos bank statements cos my husband said he read somewhere that its ok to submit 4mos bank statement as long as its the most recent and its all healthy accts. Will my application be affected in a negative way cos we only submitted 4mos bank statement? I know its too late to ask but is there someone here who succeeded with their visa and only submitted 4mos bank statement?:Help1:

Thanks so much in advance..

Hi Rob & Ann,good luck to you application.

[joebloggs]

you could be ok because..


Evidence
The ECO should also ensure that when an applicant produces evidence of funds, that they are immediately available. A bank statement should show regular transactions. A statement indicating merely a large deposit but no evidence of normal transactions should be treated with caution. Statements covering at least 3 months should give a satisfactory picture of a person’s financial means.

but you might be asked to produce the 2 latest ones.. should always give them what they ask for at least 6 months worth, if not your risking refusal or delays :NoNo:

but if all your other evidence ok, you could be ok :xxgrinning--00xx3:

good luck :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Thank you so much for this info, yes i told my husband before that its not a good idea sending only 4mos bank statements cos what's written in their website is clearly 6mos but he was in a hurry and couldn't wait for another two months any more,and i am too,we cant wait to be together just like everyone here :( ...I think all other evidence are ok, we've provided everything that they required except for the 6mos bank statement :( Anyways this info made me feel relieved,i hope everything will be ok..thanks so much joebloggs

I'm very interested with the outcome of your application, Rob & Anne. Hope u'll get a positive result. Share us the good news when u have it pls? Good luck.


Mod Joe, i'm still waiting for your reply to my query. No rush though. Thanks.

hi anne and rob....

goodluck and i wish you'll get the result asap with the good news.

Well as Joe posted "a minimum of 3 months" and you have submitted 4 if all else is well I cant see any problems stay positive and

don't
get to thin or he wont recognise you at the airport:omg:

"A person living in accommodation provided from public funds may provide accommodation sponsorship for an applicant. The sponsor must demonstrate that no additional public funds will be necessary for accommodating the applicant."


That's
interesting as it would imply that even if you were
eligible
for housing support but on low pay for example you could still have enough income (measured by income support levels for 2 people for example) and the Brit could still claim what they received prior to being joined by their spouse. You would have to pay at least the 25% extra for Council tax though for more than one occupant.

The level for a couple would
appear
to be £90.10p as the minimum acceptable income after
accommodation
costs although that might
be aguable
since some people receive housing
benefit
that is less than 100% and have to make up the difference....

[Rob & Anne]

Thank you empott..sure i will absolutely share the result of my application, i am so grateful with this forum and when i get the result i will post it here straight away.. im hoping the result will come out next week 19th of Nov. its the last day of my 10th week from submission and ive read here that mostly got theirs on their 10th week so i hope i will get mine too... :)

[Rob & Anne]

hi anne and rob....

goodluck and i wish you'll get the result asap with the good news.

:)


thanks jbt98060; my husband called the british embassy today and they told him they've put our application in the priority list so it can be processed earlier than normal cos my husband sent them an email explaining our situation that he can only travel from 15th nov to 30th nov as his holiday for this year and also to pick me up if the visa is granted, but they said they cant promise it will be very soon but they will try their best, so i feel at ease somehow that they already know our situation.:)
