emmmmmmm

Tourist Visa is a mystery... i was lucky to have been granted b4.

Regarding your age...They raised the age to 21 last November 2008... So I think you will be having problems if you apply now because you are only 18.

[rutchzzz143]

:bigcry:so what will i do sis.........i dont have the chance to apply for a fiancee or spousal visa?:Hellooo::Hellooo::Hellooo::Hellooo:

[Sophie]

welcome to the forum rith :Hellooo::Hellooo: I guess spouse visa is the easier way to go, but i'm not sure about the age rules. Anyway, i hope things will work out for you. I'm sure you will get all the answers to your questions from the other members here in this forum. Goodluck with everything :xxgrinning--00xx3:

is the changes of rules in the uk already constant

10 December 2008

New immigration rules came into force on 27 November 2008. They raise from 18 to 21 the minimum age at which a person may sponsor, or may be granted, entry clearance (including visas) or limited leave as the spouse, civil partner, fiancé(e), proposed civil partner, unmarried partner or same-sex partner of another person.

This reform is aimed at tackling the problem of forced marriage. We believe it to be important to protect young people from being forced into relationships they do not want at a time in their lives when they could be establishing a degree of independence as an adult through further education or through work. We believe that raising the age will provide an opportunity for individuals to develop maturity and life skills and to complete their education. It may also allow them to resist the pressure of being forced into a marriage. It will delay sponsorship for marriage until the age of 21 and allow vulnerable young people an opportunity to seek help and advice.

As a limited concession, the change in minimum age to 21 will apply only to cases where the UK-based sponsor is present and settled in the UK, or is being admitted for settlement on the same occasion as the applicant.
The minimum age of 18 will continue to apply to sponsors and their partners in those cases where the stay of a sponsor is subject to a time-limit (for example, students, work permit holders).

This is from the UK Border Agency Website.

Rutch...I don't think they will change this NEW Rule anytime soon. So I guess your options are to wait till you are 21 before you apply for a Fiance or Spousal Visa or you can try and apply for a Tourist Visa but make sure that you provide ALL necessary documents and study well why you were denied before.

[Eljohno]

How long have you been with your boyfriend?

18 is very young to get married and it seems you have no option but to wait to you are 21 which will give you plenty of time to make sure you are both making the right decision...

[Tawi2]

Very good advice eljohno:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[ANDRES25]

I agree with ELjohno, so just wait until you're 21. By that time you can tell if both of you still want to be together. Good luck!!!

[rutchzzz143]

yes mavid i had read about that info too about new rules changes by the uk border agencies.............i realy feel no chances now till i get over 21 but i can marry here in phil even wen im 18

the only worst is i cant get into the uk by now and apply for a visa



so maybe if i get married here by the age of 18.........might be i can apply for a tourist visa or student visa


is it ok?????????

[rutchzzz143]

yes tawi2 ur ryt also till i get 21 i can apply for settlement or touirst visa so if i get married here in phil at the age of 18

can i apply for tourist visa or student visa

in such a case



my hubby to be will sponsored me?



would this be possible????????

[sunshine]

yes tawi2 ur ryt also till i get 21 i can apply for settlement or touirst visa so if i get married here in phil at the age of 18

Hi rutch welcome to the forum:ARsurrender:
IMO, even if you will get married to your brit fiance here in Phils, u still not qualified to apply for spouse visa because of your age. Best u can do is wait till you reach 21 before u get married so u will have plenty of time to know each other and enjoy each others company. And if you apply for tourists visa or student visa, immigration might get suspicious. it is just my opinion. other members here can give u a better idea:)

May i ask how long were u together with your fiance? your 18 and hes 49?

[Mrs.JMajor]

To make it short,you cant do anything...even you get married in the phil......wait till you get 21 as simple as that..............

[rutchzzz143]

well we been since november 2008


why would they think suspicious

as long as no probs in doc


besides they wont allowed me to get spousal or fiancee visa


so have other chances still

[Mrs.JMajor]

well we been since november 2008

Ok,if you insist then...here it is....marry in PI then apply for visit visa w/c last 6 months (try your luck) there is no harm in trying thou...and besides visit visa fee is just 6k php...fair enough,at least you give it a try...because some members grant of visit visa also,just be honest on everything by telling the ECO that you are still 18 and you know the law is 21 for spouse visa.....
TRY !! and good luck (wink)

[Mrs.JMajor]

But dont be too confident on your Nov 2008 ,most of us here run for year before apply for visa,(your relation is only 4+ months)

[rutchzzz143]

yes...mrs.jmajor.............incase we get married here soon by sept then after if really we cant get for my spousal visa to come to the uk,,,,,,,,,,,,well i need to wait to apply till i get 21 up so far i have 3 yrs to wait you as posible i may apply for tourist visa temporarily while days pass by........


so myt be the last chooice

[rutchzzz143]

yes potpot no rush but sincewe started this plan we are just trying to hope for now wat sucess we can have for..........buit for the best we will see ahed too

thnks............

[Tawi2]

Rutch,every cloud has a silver lining,if I had an 18 year old lady who had to stay in Pinas for another 3 years due to visa restrictions I would tell her learn to drive and take some sort of Uni course so she wasnt coming here cold,use the 3 years constructively,do some sort of training,anything so you at least have a qualification when you arrive here,your guy can still visit you,theres really no rush when your 18 years old :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[rutchzzz143]

:omg:yeah its great also tawi2 i want realy to sort out for my study or any course or training if such case i cant get through in the uk for 3 yrs still

so i can do that as long as my fiancee well support me in that plans tooo



how i wish:doh:doh

he have a plan is such that way too

i myself danm shy or feeling soe strabge to come up in the uk so cold or not well educated


basically i hve my skilss but i need more improvements


hurray.................:ARsurrender:

[Tawi2]

Forward thinking Rutch,put the idea to him that a University or college course will benefit you BOTH in the long run,read some of the ladies experiences on here,it will give you an idea of what to expect,its also advisable to learn to drive,any idea which part of the UK your going to settle in?:Erm:

[rutchzzz143]

you have the great point.........but for best reason what could be the best benifit you mean


otherwise im aware its pity to be in the uk w/out knowing how to drive esp a car

so need to have skill here first b4r going into the place



but im looking forward in my education too if i cant go tothe uk till 3 yrs

still long time.....emmmmmmmmm:Erm:



but do you think my fiancee will feel free to support me or will he be in favot of this way:furious3:

[rutchzzz143]

its in poulton tawi2 blackpool uk

were my fiance is living permanently in his own house


any idea badly about the place?????????/:cwm12:

[Tawi2]

Rutch,if your fiancee has already proposed marriage to you then he is serious about the relationship,so three years is nothing,its the blink of an eye to wait considering your going to spend the rest of your life together right?Any right minded individual realises a marriage is a partnership,both working towards the same goal,the same purpose,the same aim dont you agree?If he supports you now in your endeavours to study it also benefits him as he has a multi-skilled educated wife :xxgrinning--00xx3:Pick a subject your interested in,find out about the courses,and those three years will pass very,very quickly,remember when you were 15?Seems like yesterday right?Likewise when your 21 and have the visa in your hand you will realise how fast time sometimes goes :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Tawi2]

I used to go to Blackpool as a child,its on the seaside,I think our blackpool is your version of Boracay:icon_lol:

[rutchzzz143]

:furious3:life is always like that tawi

how i wish he understand our culture so welll

yeah blackpool is a tourist destinations he says

like boracay

oh wowww
good to hear:Rasp:


you got the great point in life to do while time is passing by.........getting married here the have to wait for 3 yrs to apply for a visa like wat i mention so far having an education its nice benefiting w/ me not only but for both

as i can have the stand to do so

if i be there arriving

for i cant feel also that seems underestamted cso of lack



but have to sort out this final decisions too:doh



well tawi2 just leave me a mesage

have to go offto bed now its midnyt over here


xxxx
best regrds

[Tawi2]

Blackpool is like Boracay with a touch of smoky mountain and the temperatures of Baguio :Erm: We all deserve happiness Rutch,hope you have a great life :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Jay&Zobel]

Dear Rutch,

First of all welcome here. You will be finding lots of great advices here, all your queries will be answered or simply using the search button helps.

We know where you're coming from... We know that you wanted to be here with your fiance/bf. As what they have mentioned above, there is no rush for you to come here especially now the Immigration Rules have changed regarding age.

You are 18 and even if you will apply for student visa, the ECO might/will still refuse you as the purpose of your application is to be with your bf/fiance.

Do not rush into things my friend. Take your time. Let your partner visit you again. As Tawitawi said, take a shortterm course or a college degree as this will help you in applying for a job once you are here. You do not want to be idle once you get here, do you? Enjoy your life while you are still young.

If your fiance/bf can wait then it is true love... If he can't then it's his loss!

Take care & bless you!



Just Me & My friendly advice,

[trader dave]

ruthy

slow down :cwm34:i started my relationship in august 2007 in that time we have applied 3 times for visitors visa to get my fiancee into the uk the last time she had an interview with the british consol and he said your wasting your money trying to get into the uk via that route he advised i go there we get married then she will allowed to come here i also explained that i might be retiring to the philippies in a couple of years so we dont realy need a settlement visa :NoNo: he was not interested :NoNo:

so what i am saying is its not going to be easy for you because of your age restricions there is no quick fix slow down at least have a few more holidays together :xxgrinning--00xx3: if he has a pc get yourselves on line every day :Cuckoo:

you have many trials to over come first

[pennybarry]

regarding to my age being 18.............i can marry here anytime in the phil but cant go to the uk yet until i get 21 of age............so its a worst to hear if this be the case

as same matters i dont have the chance for fiancee visa too


is the changes of rules in the uk already constant

You cannot marry anytime in the Philippines if you are 18!!!
No Priests, no Civil authorties will conduct your marriage unless
YOU have parental consent.

You cannot apply for any type of visa until you reached 21. If you have relative here, they can sponsor you for a visit visa but not the BF:D

So be patient. Enjoy being single. Study first so if you have studied even short courses, you can easily find job here. Did you know that even college graduate here are hard to get a proper job? That is if you want to work and help your hubby as everything here is shocking expensive.:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[darren-b]

If you have relative here, they can sponsor you for a visit visa but not the BF:D

This isn't true, BFs can and have successfully sponsored their GF for visit visa. Though there is no guarantees it wil be granted.

[aromulus]

18 years old......:Erm:

Visa chances........ Nil.....:omg:

Next.............:rolleyes:

[joebloggs]

This isn't true, BFs can and have successfully sponsored their GF for visit visa. Though there is no guarantees it wil be granted.

and if you mention you want to see your b/f, there is a chance they will refuse you, because the embassy can say that's a major reason for not going back to the phils, as you have a b/f here..

you just can't win sometimes .. :doh

but you could try for a visitor visa, thou it could well be refused and you could only stay 6 months in 1 yr

student visa you could try, but expensive and they are more difficult to get now, as it is points based.

but maybe your only hope, apart from waiting til your 21, is you get married, your husband then exercises his EU Treaty Rights in another EU country for a few months, and then uses the Surinder Singh route to return to the UK. After all there is nothing about the age 21 issue in the EU Directive, concerning freedom of movement for EU citizens and their family members.

In order to use the Surinder Singh route, your husband, as he would be, would need to be economically active in another EU state ..... employed or self-employed. if he could go and live in Ireland for a few months or longer until you get your family permit, and then you could come to the uk.

[rutchzzz143]

what if we will be marry here soon this year by september 2009:Erm:
for the reason im on my age 18 so no chance to get a spousal visa till im at the age of 21......soooooooooooo:cwm34: i still have to wait for about 3 yrs to come b4r i reach 21 right?:bigcry:

so being a wife already i maybe can apply for a tourist visa temporarily

for the reason to come and visit my hubby and family

as my frnd did last year she is so succesful in getting visa at the age of 18 she is married in phil also w/ her british hubby.......but she came back to phil after 6 months


so myt be i have the chance to apply as tourist visa successfully???????????:ARsurrender:

[rutchzzz143]

its too long time to wait till i can apply for spousal visa if be married here soon


soosoooooo:cwm23:

as i read in site its says different


emmmmmmmmmmmmm ill see wat lies a mess


:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[joebloggs]

you will be refused a settlement visa if your under 21, its the law, its not at the discretion of the embassy or a case worker.

people are now being refused for being under 21.

:doh

[rutchzzz143]

yes age is a conflict presently so i myt ned to wait till the ryt time


u mean here..............but maybe your only hope, apart from waiting til your 21, is you get married, your husband then exercises his EU Treaty Rights in another EU country for a few months, and then uses the Surinder Singh route to return to the UK.

I CAN HAVE THE CHANCE TO GO IN THE UK AS HIS WIFE EVEN IM UNDER 21


BUT TO APPLY FOR FAMILY PERMIT?

OR WAT WILL HE DO AS HE IS LIVING IN BLACKPOOL UK

[joebloggs]

he would have to go and live in another european country for at least 3 months and apply for a family permit using european law, not a spouse visa which is under British immigration law, as the over 21yr old only applies to people who apply under the British immigration system, not the european one..

not easy for many people to go and live in another european country, but some people do, they have a holiday home in spain or portugal, or can find a new job easily..

not easy but might be better than waiting 3yrs.. and family permit as mod dom will tell you cost nothing :D

SO WAT IS REQUIRED FOR ME TO APPLY OR INVITE ME AS FAMILY TO STAY W/ HIM..........AFTER HE WILL BE GIVEN A FAMILY PERMIT ALSO WHEN HE HAD STAY IN THE EUROPE AREAS.........WOULD IT BE APPLICABLE FOR US TO STAY BACK IN THE NORMAL RESIDENCE WHEN WE WILL BE GIVEN A FAMILY PERMIT TO STAY IN EUROPE?


EVEN THOUGH IM UNDER 21 I STILL HAVE THE CHANCE TO COME UNDER EUROPE LAW NOT BRITISH ONE?


EMMMMMMMM:furious3:

If agencies telling you that it is still possible to get spouse visa even if you're only 18, then they're lie-ing (just to get kwarta out of you) or they just being ignorant not knowing the new uk immigration rules.

[rutchzzz143]

bla bla seems some agencies here rounding our heads to believe:cwm12:but i have to confirm it in there main office and i need there proff how come they had tell me over the phone that nothing changed in uk rules as the site home offiice uk border agency stating..........................:NoNo:

With effect from 27th November 2008, both parties in a marriage must be aged 21 or over before leave to enter or remain in the UK on the basis of marriage to a British or settled person can be issued.

Information regarding the minimum age of applicants and sponsors for marriage visas can be found on the UK Border Agency website at: www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk

Even if 18 yrs old only???????? I'm on about 18 :D
I know they can sponsor if above 21:D
as embassy also protects teeners

[Florge]

ahhh... to be young and free... hehehe... when i was 18, i was hoping to get married at 25.. when i was 25... i was busy with work and career.... time flies... 18! so young... you can do a lot of things.. and do everything that you want to do before settling down... enjoy your singlehood (wondering if there's such a word)... good luck!

[joebloggs]

ask your b/f is it possible,or is he willing to go and live in another european country for maybe upto 6 months,

if he's not, then their is not much else you can do but wait 3 years or try for a student visa.

[rutchzzz143]

though only a conflicts takes us time to be together as one.............eventually as the rules changes to come in the uk w/ him or if only he will stay in phil that myt be easy............:cwm3::cwm3:

though he have work in the uk

but for the best of time he can come and visit me in phil while 3 yrs in passing and going:cwm12::cwm12:

I WILL TRY AND CONSULT HIM IF HE CAN DO IN THAT OR IF HE IS INFAVOR OF SUCH ENDEVOURS LIKE THAT STAYING IN DIFF PART IN EUROPE AS HE HAVE WORK IN SAMLEBURY,ENGLAND SO IT MYT TOOK HIM A CONFLICTS IN DISTANCE GOING INTO THE PLACES

IS IT FAR TO STAY IN IRELAND OR ANY EUROPE PART.......



SOOO AS YOU SAYING JOEBLOGGS............EVEN WEN WE GET MARRIED HERE IN PHIL

THEN IF WE APPLY FOR A STUDENT VISA FOR ME TO COME IN THE UK AND HE WILL BE THE SPONSOR

WOULDNT IT BE SUSPICIOUS BY THE EMBASSY AS HE GONNA BE MY HUSBAND THEN HE TOOK ME INTO STUDENT VISA

WHAT MYT THEY THINK OF..............:Erm::Erm:

[joebloggs]

yes it would look suspicious and it would be expensive..

and 3 years is a long time to wait, many LDRs would not survive it :NoNo:

so your choices are he goes and lives in the phils with you or he moves to a european country or you wait 3 years..

or you apply for a visitor visa and hope you get one, allowing you t ocome to the uk for 6 months a year..

BUT ASUMING BEING HER WIFE ALREADY AND OF COURSE WERE MARRIED HERE IN PHIL

THEN IF I APPLY FOR A TOURIST VISA.........W/ HIS SPONSORED
SO AS PART OF THE REQ HE WILL NEED TO SHOW HIS ACCOMODATION

AND EXAMPLE IN MY PART HAVING NO STEADY WORK AND OF COURSE THE EMBASSY WILL LOOK BACK INTO MY PROPERTY OR ACCOMODATIONS.......WOULD IT AFFECTS ME IF I DONT HAVE MUCH.BUT I WILL JUST ASE ON MY HUBBY SITUATIONS TO COME AND VISIT

WOULD IT HAVE A CHANCE TO BE GRANTED BY VISA?:cwm12::cwm12::cwm12:

[darren-b]

Even if 18 yrs old only???????? I'm on about 18 :D
I know they can sponsor if above 21:D
as embassy also protects teeners

With fiance/marriage visas you have to be over 21, but I don't think that you have to be over 21 to apply for a tourist visa.

[joebloggs]

getting a visitor visa can be pot luck,

some people have got a visitor visa while having no job, savings or property in the phils, and some people have been refused while they had a job, savings and property in the phils..


so you cannot be sure of getting one at all.

but if your married you will have the right to appeal if your refused, but the embassy might say because your''e married, you have no reason to return to the phils. so they will refuse you a visa :doh

[joebloggs]

With fiance/marriage visas you have to be over 21, but I don't think that you have to be over 21 to apply for a tourist visa.

no you don't, but over 21 to apply for a settlement visa.

[pennybarry]

With fiance/marriage visas you have to be over 21, but I don't think that you have to be over 21 to apply for a tourist visa.

ok. I hope she can get one:D As I have never heard of any applicant granted visa for 18 years old girlfriend:NoNo:

I still remember and have seen applicants who applied tourist visa and denied. They were crying outloud outside the embassy. Really I feel sorry for them as they really want to go. :bigcry:

2nd April 2009

To the A&I Tribunal,

With regards to a visa application, which was recently submitted to the Manila VFS Global centre in Makati? I have been together with the lady involved, and have been waiting for a response for her to be either accepted or rejected as a visitor coming to the UK.
Having had confirmation through their web site pages that the visa has been processed and also by txt on Routchil’s phone as stipulated when submitted the application, Routchil has traveled from Cebu to Manila to claim the visa as informed on both accounts.
When she arrived there, she was told that the visa was not going to be issued to her, and this has caused ripple effect along the line of coming here to the UK. Through this information given to both of us, With this in mind, I purchased a flight ticket for her to have the next day in coming, as returning back to Cebu seemed pointless and then return again back for her flight at a different time. We assumed all was fine and all that was needed was to pick up the visa from the VFS and get the plane to fly here to the UK.

Since speaking to me about this ordeal, Routchil has been in tears as to what to do next. If I had known that the visa was not to be issued, I would not have bought the airline ticket (See attachments) for Routchil to come over here. Also, when I rang the VFS, I realized that who ever gave the information to Routchil was in fact incorrect. I feel I have been misinformed & so does Routchil on this. It has not been a good 24 hrs for both of us.

The knock back, of not receiving the visa, is not an issue with me but the information that one person tells you something and you trust the information on the webpage being correct. This is a misunderstanding to say the least on the webpage and txt to be something else.

All in all, it has set me back £1000.00 pounds in transport costs for this mishap to have happened. If this had been dealt with in a proper manner, with the correct information sent out explaining the circumstances of why the visa had not been issued, might then, have been able to re-address certain issues and mishaps instead of believing that we were to be granted a visa.

I do not even know why after 30 days the application has in fact been rejected, even though I have read the wording from Mr. Mustafa’s comments, but all I know from my conversations with the VFS supervision (See email attachment) that Maria Madrilejo also wanted to know who had made this dreadful mistake and wanted us to tell her know who it was. Routchil did not know when she came to pick up the visa this man in question was who summoned her. By the time this letter has been processed through the Asylum & Immigration Tribunal area, will be too late to solve this issue.
I have built up a very good and friendly relationship with Routchil and of which we have spent time in her country. I was hoping she would be able to reply here and see just what a good nation we are living in. After this, I am not so sure my faith in humanity here is all it should be.
I appeal to you and your sense of judgment, that you can see what has gone on here and reinstate the visa for Routchil.

I have enclosed the information required below and also an email from a representative from the VFS clarifying the position of the misunderstanding:-


Sent to: VFS Global Centre, Makati, Manila

Name: xxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxx

DofB: 07/01/1991

Applying for: Visitors visa

Sent to: 16th February 2009 of application

VFS Global Ref. No. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx




Things that were presented to the VFS in Manila but never received back when Routchil went to collect her documents:-

1) Wage slip
2) Utility bills
3) Deeds to my house
4) Pictures of us together in Manila
5) Emails & correspondences
6) Invitation Letter from me for Routchil to spend time with me, as stipulated in the VAF1A requirements.
7) Original Birth Certificate of Routchil Gealon

Things we did receive back were her passport and the ticket for paying for the visa from the bank.

Because Routchil was not given all the documents back from the VFS, I have only a copy of the Invitation which was submitted at the time at hand. I have to stress that Mr. Mustafa, who is the Entry Clearance Officer is looking at our case from the documents provided here. From his deductions, I feel he is not aware of the full facts or that he has not been given all the information to deduce his assumptions on Routchil. All the information he has referred to has been substantiated in my documents given to the VFS at the time.

I stress, that from sections i ii iii of the ruling of paragraph 41 of the Immigration laws should incomprehensively be discharged as lack of evidence to support Mr. Mustafa’s foundations in arriving towards Rouchil Gealon. That I Graham Smith have stated in my Invitation letter that all of the above will in fact be adhered to accordingly. If there are other things that are driving this decision here, I would like to be informed of. My intentions here are for Routchil to come here and spend 6 months as a visitor.

I am not a man who breaks the law and if things are not correct, am first to try and put things in perspective. I appeal to your better judgment & hope you can come to an amicable decision on this. Additional to the information is that Routchil has been working in the family business and provided are details of her employment (See attachments)


SUMMARY of APPEAL



I have provided an invitation letter here and all others documents are with the VFS.

The misinformation of txt message and webpage stating, that our application had now been accepted and ready to be picked up.

The airfare of which I based this information on, as to why would I have gone out and bought a ticket for Routchil and why would she have also travelled to Manila knowing that she was going to be disappointed on arrival.

The email I received from Maria Madrilejo the supervisor stated, and of which now, since speaking with her directly has in fact rescinded her statement to me and told us that our visa has now been rejected.

My bank details, utility bills, house ownership, wage slip has been confiscated and not returned back to us

If Routchil has been seen to have committed a crime here from being thorough and working within the documents UK Border Agency has provided and also the VAFA1 form, much as I hate to mention that I appeal again to your logical thinking in this matter and if your decision is still to reject her invite to the UK, please explain to me what we have to abide by in order to think further and hopefully not come across another and expense again.


Yours Sincerely

Dear Rutch,

I can understand how you feel right now. When i was 17 i received a marriage proposal:). It feels great when you hear these words, doesn't it? especially when you know that he loves you very much and offers you everything to make you happy and contented.:xxgrinning--00xx3:

It's not because someone offers you marriage then you will rush into it:NoNo:. You have to think many times:Erm:. At your age, you should be enjoying singlehood. Life is different once you get married. But anyway, it is your life and it's still your decision that will prevail. Everything that will come across your path as you go along the relationship will be an eye opener for you. We never stop learning anyway.

Just a friendly advice here:). I hope you come up with the right decision and be happy with whatever it may be.

You can get married in the Phils provided you need to have parental consent. Then you can apply for a spouse visa at age 21.




Best of luck.
Cheers:)

I don't think you will get a refusal letter in advance. You will get the result of the visa application when you are told to go back to the VFS to pick up your documents and it will be either APPROVED, REFUSED or INTERVIEW.

I think you might have misunderstood the process along the way...especially when you saw in the VFS Tracking that Your Documents are ready to be picked up...BUT it doesn't automatically means your visa is GRANTED.

[rutchzzz143]

you must have had a written refusal letter, what was the reasons for the refusal,

did they give you the right to appeal?



I JUST HAD RECEIVED MY REFUSAL NOTICED WHEN I ARRIVED IN THE PLACE:NoNo::NoNo:

You are RIGHT indeed!!! You are still young and you have already considered that experience very hard:D There will be more to come while getting older.
Being denied, is not that devastating as you are still young and everything has reasons why it happened so don't take it too much negatively.

Enjoy your life in Cebu. Life there maybe enjoyable than here if you get married, stuck at home because very cold, very expensive to go out, boring while hubby is at work. Teeners like you must be enjoying singleness with friends. Please consider that.

Can you post your refusal letter here so that we could advise to you clearly regarding to your recent tourist visa application refusal? The refusal letter you posted here was too low in resolution and it could hardly be read. To tell you, I am also waiting for an appeal here since I was refused to come to the UK. I lodged my appeal to the British Embassy Manila since it would be faster here in our Embassy rather than the AIT in the UK.

Hi there,

Why don't you let your fiance/bf join this forum too my friend? It would be nice if he will be able to read lots of information and do some researching also. Through these, both of you will have a wider/broader idea when it comes to visas: types; UK rules & regulations; updates and all.

Also, will save you lots of hassles, time and money in the future.

Best of luck!

P.S.
Agencies/fixers will just rip your pockets off. Just save your money.

Rutch, as all are saying in this forum, take your time. Listen to what they are saying to you and learn from it. All of us had wished to be with the man we love, but it doesnt happen overnight. So, as what our good friends- take the years waiting productively. Pinays have a virtue of patience and endurance. Let us show for once in this case we persevere. Waiting is a matter of time and time passes quickly. Here in Davao and waits for the right time- when it comes Its Our's truly..

wats the reason why u are refused an entry ??????????????:cwm12::cwm12::Help1::furious3::furious3:

[mastergidd]

Hi Again,

I have been issued a visa twice already but was refused last march when I re apply again for a new visa. Their grounds for my refusal was I just came home last January 2009 and why would I re apply so soon. They think I am not a genuine visitor in the UK. I filed my appeal last March in British Embassy in Manila and still waiting for the result. If the ECM in Manila will overturn the decision, it will take 2 months from the day I lodged the appeal and if otherwise the ECM will not change the decision the ECO had made, it will be forwarded to the AIT in London UK that will take almost 6 months. Too long for me to wait....

Anyway, when were you refused? Were you given the right to appeal? What grounds did they state?

You are only allowed 28 days from the date you were refused to be able to lodge an appeal or otherwise apply for an extension of time to appeal?

[joebloggs]

where does it say YOU HAVE BEEN GRANTED ??????:cwm34:the way i am reading your bf appeal letter it says it is being processed and you tracked it online ?????:Erm::Erm:
if your refusals are the same as OUR 3 it does not have right of appeal only on certain grounds --- race relations act and human rights act

YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME APPEALING :Erm: we have been there 3 times already i had mp's writing letters i got nice letters from ministers in charge :NoNo::NoNo: letters from the head of immigration :bigcry:



trader dave your right, that's why i asked on what grounds she was given a right to appeal, if it is those 2, then you've got a limited right to appeal, and so you've got little hope of winning an appeal (race and human rights grounds).

you only get a full right to appeal if its for a close family member, those applying for settlement or applying as a student.

:cwm24:

[mastergidd]

Hi Joebloggs,

I just posted my appeal letter here awhile ago? Do you think I am wasting my time waiting for an appeal rather than applying for a fresh application? What do you think?

Please get back to me. My thread was in the Family Visit Refusal. Thanks.

RUTH & SMITH:ARsurrender::ARsurrender::ARsurrender:

He will need to get a CNI (Certificate of No Impediment) from his local registry office in the UK which takes 23 days I think. Then when he arrives in Phills, he will have to take the UK CNI to the British Embassy in Manila or the British Consulate in Cebu and exchange it for the Filipino version. He will also need his birth certificate and if he had been divorced, he would also need his divorce decree absolute certificate.

After that all you need do is apply for a marriage licence which will take about 10 days and attend a pre-marital seminar. Being only 18 years old, I think that you will have to have permission from your parents, but whether you need any official document for this or not I don't know.

[joebloggs]

once your married apply for a family visit visa, if they refuse you, you will have full rights to an appeal, and as you will be married, as long as he has money to sponsor you, and with a bit of luck i would have thought you would have a good chance of winning any appeal:rolleyes:

so if you get a visitor visa, you can stay in the uk for 6 months, then go back to the phils, and say after 3 months, he comes and visits you for 2wks or what ever, and then 3 months later apply for a visit visa again, and repeat the cycle.

so at most you will only be apart 3 months max and be together at least 6 months of the year.:xxgrinning--00xx3:

best you can do, unless he moves to the phils :D

[Jay&Zobel]

RUTH,

Please refer this forum and your thread to your SMITH so he knows all the rules too!!!

[flomike]

while waiting for 3 years as other members here advice ask your fiancee to support you to have a degree in Phils while waiting (if you're not studying?) like Nursing degree so you can have a career here when you live here in 3 years time.

Good luck all the best.

Usually I would have thought the ECO would refuse a visit visa for the spouse of someone currently living in the UK (with no intention of leaving the UK) as it's the wrong visa ie you should be applying for a spouse visa. Though obviously with one of the people under 21 you don't have that option.. :Erm: Also I guess even if the visa was granted (maybe after an appeal) the Immigration Officer at the border could refuse entry if they believe the person wouldn't leave the UK at the end of the 6 months.

its a risk, but they have no other option, as a family member she would have a full right of appeal, and there is no other visa she can apply for, and if they meet the criteria for the visa, then they could be granted it, what have they got to lose ? judges are human to :rolleyes:

Following on from the 'what have they got to lose'. Not that I personally would advise overstaying a visa but what would be actually be lost from overstaying if the visit visa was granted? Spouses are not subject to bans at the moment so it shouldn't cause any real problems applying for future visas. So survive the couple of years by staying hidden (ie not working..) and then return home and apply for a spouse visa when over 21.

This though is why I guess spouses under 21 will struggle to get visit visas..

[trader dave]

as far as cost my fiancee has just arranged ours everything she wanted 50 guests for under 50.000php but it depends HOW SOCIAL YOU want to be :Erm::icon_lol: and off course how big your family is :rolleyes:


get your bf to come and read the free advice on here :xxgrinning--00xx3:

I think the're probably a lot more human than ECO's at least and a lot more sensible as well I would think.

[joebloggs]

Spouses are not subject to bans at the moment so it shouldn't cause any real problems applying for future visas.

i think they are not subject to a mandatory ban and maybe not a ban from 320(7b) of the immigration rules, but maybe they would ban you for 320(11) for ‘contriving in a significant way to undermine the intentions of the immigration rules.' instead.:NoNo:

just don't break the rules :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[joebloggs]

I think the're probably a lot more human than ECO's at least and a lot more sensible as well I would think.

i'm sure if your family visitor visa was refused, and it went to appeal, the judge would understand your dilemma, you can legally marry at 18 but not bring your wife to the uk til she is 21, and the only visa you can apply for is a visit visa and they refused it on 'the balance of probability ' that she will not go back :NoNo:

How about schegen visa.........is it applicable to me as wife..........do it have age limit then?

[pennybarry]

How about schegen visa.........is it applicable to me as wife..........do it have age limit then?

No. UK is not part of Schengen countries. But if you have friends and relatives there who can sponsor you as visitor, you may be granted a visa and can stay there for 3 months.

That was what I did while waiting for my spousal visa. I stayed in Holland and Hubby stayed there too:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Seriously get some more education and skills in Phill. Unless you plane to be a housewife all your life? Times are hard here in the UK as they are most places.
Even if money is not an issue, many women on here work to meet people and keep active.

Get a uni course or do several shorter courses. Nursing,caring, I.T skills, cooking, accountancy and science skills all seem to transfer well over to the west.

Get an English qualfication. Ilets is well worth doing, in fact i would say its a must if you have the time.

Learn about the area your moving to and enjoy your youth. Have some fun as married life will be fun but you will of course have far more responsbilties.

All round skills are good as well.

Can speak speak,understand and write to a good level of English.

Dressmaking and garment repair is a handy skill. Many in the west have forgotten the skill and pay for someone to adjust their clothes. Many filipinas still have decent levels of these skills. Even if its a skill you share with your friends and family in the UK its very handy.

Cooking again wheter its just for friends and family or a job is handy to have. Many jobs involving this will take you on for a trial so you dont need qualfications just actual talent and experience.

Cargivers with a aging community in the UK is always a good market.

My Wife came over at 21 but due to a decent education it helped in so many ways, jobs, self esteem and self confidence.

Good luck and remeber you cant hurry love, only fools rush in. Take your time and enjoy your teens and being twenty dont wish them away.

i had a garden wedding too, and our church pastor officiated our wedding and there is no specific fee for pastors, normally, its up to you how much you want to give, it's not really a fee, it's more of a love offering. As for catholic churches, they really have a fixed amount of fee that they charge but mostly its very cheap and very minimal but it still depends on the location, some churches charge higher than the others.

tc

ruth

[Tawi2]

I stayed at that hotel Ruth when I arrived at 11pm once,just wanted to get my head down before catching an early morning flight to Davao,as soon as I walked through customs I went across the carpark and had a room 10 minutes later,its the closest and most convenient :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[rutchzzz143]

alright thats good for you tawi2..........so same time for my partners arrival from england and mine from cebu very strange time around midnyt...........so thats enough to look for nearby hotels to rest off.............as by early morning we will be going to the BRIT embassy then by afternoon going to cebu...........phewwwww:cwm12:

so more questions...........what if we will not book for a hotel there the one you had told me.........we will just check in on time after our arrival.....would it be ok?

or really need to book in advanced.....beside we will just be staying there for 1 nyt...............just to rest for late time ................:doh:doh

and thanks by the way tawi2 for ur nice compliments likewise for u too.................god bless

[Tawi2]

I think you might actually be better off reserving a room Ruth,just in case,I didnt reserve and luckily they had a vacancy,but a reservation will give you peace of mind,you know 100% that you have your booking,otherwise you will have to get a taxi into Manila and because of the lateness the taxi-driver will charge you double or triple the normal fare :Erm: Are you flying into NAIA3 from cebu?

[rutchzzz143]

Yeah u have the point tawi2,beter to have the reservation for its sure.....besides i see they have free airport pick up.....sounds good for a late comers from the airport......ryt?

yes i will be arriving from domestic airport from cebu im not that sure if its terminal 3:)

though im going to terminal 1 from international arrival for my partner.

great to have ur ideas now.............thanks:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Tawi2]

I cant remember how much I paid Ruth,Last time I was in Manila in march I paid I think it was 6500 in one hotel?That was my last night so I just wanted to get rid of pesos,the airport hotel is far cheaper,but it hasnt got a pool,though after the flight I wasnt particularly interested in a swim,maybe the room was 2000 pesos + or - :Erm: If your flying cebu pacific your probably going to land at NAIA3 as they are transfering all their flights there,its 6km from NAIA1,just get a taxi,dont wait for the free transfer bus even though it shuttles back and forth between the two terminals,its cramped,crowded,and squashed as everyone seems to stick 5 or 6 suitcases each in the aisles :icon_lol: I just checked those room rates for you,2500 including Pick-up,book online and get them to pick you up from NAIA3 :xxgrinning--00xx3:

its rare terminal 3 to 1 is quite far too....but its ok i will just enjoy my ride even if tiring hehehhee:cwm3::cwm3:

damn crowded in the waiting areas for the arrival as well...........:bigcry:
and i was embarrased b4r carrying two big suite case in my own........phheww so bad............:BouncyHappy::BouncyHappy::bigcry:

[Tawi2]

Ruth,I used that airport shuttle once,its funny,the lady at NAIA1 said "Please avail of our free airport shuttle to NAIA3"Thats cool,I got on,just outside NAIA1 the drivers friend came around for the fare :icon_lol: You were robbed,I think mine was 10 pesos,you should complain and ask for your refund :icon_lol: Theres talk of some form of interior transfer between terminals,shuttle-tunnel or something,but like I said,its just talk :icon_lol: Enjoy your trip :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[rutchzzz143]

[yeah thats cool......at least last time i got the cheapest fare i did in manila.....w/c was the shuttle transfer........so for me its fine.....let me do it next time again if i can avail one hahahahahhaaa.....................but more things i learned in manila b4r so next time i have to be on eye nicely esp taxi fare seems all are like crocodile biters hahahaha they will charged you big fare ...............so next time take it for metered taxi as they cant relayed on next time........................:xxgrinning--00xx3::xxgrinning--00xx3

[Tawi2]

but same advised just do it by metered taxi ok:xxgrinning--00xx3::xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Jay&Zobel]

Please allow me to share my thoughts:

Ruth,
I think it's best to phone the hotel first before you fly to Manila.
Why?
1) You will be able to prebook/reserve the room. Thus, they will expect your arrival and saving you the hassle of finding hotels when you get there.
2) They can pick you up at the airport upon your arrival from Davao. They will help you carry your luggages/bags etc. Saving you from worries of finding a cab when you get there (as some can also be such a crocodile as you've said)
3) You can stay in your hotel room until you fetch your fiance (at midnight/before midnight). You will be able to rest after your early Davao trip. Leave your bags behind. Change your clothes, Take a shower, Eat breakfast/lunch/dinner or go to a nearby mall and unwind while you wait etc etc... Just inform the front desk that you need to pick up your fiance at a certain time.
4) ... (so plenty to enumerate the advantages)

I hope all things will be well and enjoy your holiday with your fiance!

Cheers!

[Tawi2]

If you're bf is getting off in terminal 1, you can just go to the airport earlier so you don't have to walk late from the airport hotel
There's a waiting area there and you only need to pay 32+ pesos and you can proceed upstairs where you can find a coffee shop...
so you can just sit and sip some hot coffee while waiting for your bf's arrival....:xxgrinning--00xx3::)

hi rutch, mostly its just within an hour specially if traffic is good, but don't count on it
we know how terrible the traffic is in the metro, so i suggest you allot 2 hours for your travel time from naia to embassy....
that way, you are sure to be there on time or even earlier, after all, its better to be too early than too late......:xxgrinning--00xx3:

You should go to McKinley Hill, Taguig City - the British Embassy moved from Makati Avenue a while back.

Like anything you see on the Internet on 'unofficial' web sites (even ones as good as british-filipino) you always should double check the information with official sources as the unofficial sources can get out of date.

Hello Rutch. If I may add, i know how you feel. I too had those dilemma. I recently got married last 3rd of May. So I used to have the same questions too. I just wanna share my experiences...

Just before hubby arrived. I have to get all the necessary requirements. First thing is my cenomar. It takes about 2wks processing time. My husband arrived at around 8pm saturday. At early monday morning, we arrived at exactly 7:45am at the british embassy. It took us about an hour to get there. We hired a van that cost us 2k php for that day with a driver that travel within metro manila- bacoor. That's from bacoor to 'the fort' in taguig where the british embassy resides. Pls bring your id and your cenomar, and your bf's CNI, and his passport, the interviewer may ask that to both of you. We were escorted to the main building and was interviewed both briefly. We were asked to wait for an hour, but we got the certificate within 30mins only. So we headed straight to the local municipality and submitted the requirements for our marraige license application. Hope this helps... do keep us updated. Cheers. xx

The CNI will be converted while you wait. I think its about p5000 but i`m not sure, cant remember that far back!

[estherboaz]

yeah.just prepare 5000 for the fee.

The CNI will be converted while you wait. I think its about p5000 but i`m not sure, cant remember that far back!

[rusty]

Check the embassy website for latest exchange rates and fees

At the moment the cost of the CNI is £63 with an exchange rate of £1=P82, therefore fee is 5,166
