Hi pocahontas, could you tell us first when is the valid from of your spouse visa and when did you entered UK?

goodmorning..thanks for reply. my visa is valid from 13th of january 2009 until 13th of april 2011 i enter uk 8th of march 2009. if you will notice when i got my visa i didnt fly to uk soon that time because for some reason which my sister goig back home that we decided to wait to get us along together before i fly in uk coz it will took me so long before we get together again . you know in philippines family reunion is a very important for us pilipino.

so whats next thing we have to do..i read some forum that getting a british citizenship is having a voluntary work in community will help too and also definitely have to get the test in life in uk? do i need to go in school just to learn that or i can just buy a book which i can handing in my self study?

please tell me everything that i should know that i dont know..coz i have no idea...............thanks for this matter...regards to your family.:D

At the moment it is looking like the new rules won't be implemented until July 2011. So assuming this is the case what you need to do is take the life in the uk test, and then apply for ILR sometime after the 8th February 2011 and before the 13th April 2011. You won't be able to able to apply for British citizenship until at least march 2012 and it is not certain what the rules will be at that point.

Most people I know just bought the book and learnt the relevant sections to pass the life in the UK. Though if you feel your english could do with improving you could take a course instead.

ILR - Indefinite Leave to Remain... You must apply ILR within 28 days before your spouse visa ends.

Life in the UK test, you can take the test at anytime as there's no expiration on its certificate. Just don't lost the certificate because its one of the important doc to apply ILR, without this your application will be refused, and if you lost the certificate, you'll have to take another test and pay the fee again.

British CItizenship - you can only apply this after 3yrs in UK, means on the whole 3 yrs you mustn't breach any Immigration rules ei. overstay your visa.

Pocahontas, I think the best way for you to do is to go to HOme Office website and go to a visa section.

DOn't worry soon enough you'll learn more english and get use to understand english accent..(never mind the welsh and sco-ish):D It takes a lot of time and its not ur fault because english is not our first language so dont be feel sorry to yourself. Even myself/others and engslish spoken people gets a mistake writing and speaking english.:xxgrinning--00xx3: the most important is you can speak and understand quite good of english unlike others ie. polish are really bad!:NoNo:

About the job, yes it is hard to find a job specially this time of crisis and if you don't have much experience, i suggest to you is to gain experience here in UK from ie. cleaning, waitress etc.. Remember there's always says 'kapag may tinanim may aanihin' or try and try (til u die) :D til u succeed:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Goodluck nalang!:Hellooo:
