hello to all

[Scottie1875]

Hi there,

i thought i would introduce myself, I'm 28 and i stay in Hamilton, Scotland. My fiancee(Eloisa) had her visa granted last week(thanks to everyone here who put my mind at ease with their advice last week). She is flying out here a week today(29th).

I've found this site to be very useful and some great advice being given, I'll be looking here to help with the next visa, i suppose i'll need to start thinking about that soon too.

I'm very excited to show Eloisa around Scotland, i just hope she adjusts to the Scottish winter:D :Hellooo:

Great News mate on the visa ive been looking out to see how you got on, wow your flying out a week today? I fly out tomorrow at 2pm to bring home my beautiful fiancee so I know how excited you must both be. Wish you lots of Happiness for the future and enjoy your trip out there.

[Scottie1875]

unfortunately im not flying out there, she is flying here to the UK on her own.
I hope she gets here safe!

[smiler78]

She will be just fine mate, and gives you the extra time to stock the cupboards with rice and clean the house up!! I took my girl on a sea plane ride once which scared the hell out of her and to be honest almost put me off flying it was so rocky so I feel its only right Im there to hold her hand ( or sick bag !! ) :D

Just make sure you stock up on rice, and get in some industrial size heaters, and get some thermals for her! lol

congrats mate.

[GaryFifer]

Good on ya. I am sure she will be really tired after long trip on the plane, get her some rest in the Holiday Inn near Glasgow airport, then go back home in the morning :)

Here are some ideas on your doorstep:

hi scotties1875
how long did you wait for the visa?
thanks

[Scottie1875]

hi pumpkins,

we got the fiancee visa in about 6 weeks, certainly not as quick as some people have been getting here, but it was quicker than what we thought.

Are you waiting for one?

[Ji&Ma]

:Hellooo: Hi Scottie, our sincerest congratulations to your visa, well done :xxgrinning--00xx3:
Which airline is your fiancee flying with? No worries, she will be OK, my girl made it safely - she's been travelling alone too...;)

Welcome scottie

[Jay&Zobel]

Congratulations to both of you!!!
Just don't forget that she needs a CFO sticker before travelling, in case she still doesn't have one. :-)

Are you waiting for one?

hi scottie
yes i am waiting..actually, me and my husband keep looking at tracking application status..the status now is " under process at the briitsh high commission".its been like that for 4 days now..did you get the same status as me?if you did, after that, what status did you get?
it would help us to ease our minds to know your experience.
thanks:):):)

[Scottie1875]

hi pumpkins,

Yes we had that status for ages, it only changed the day before she received her visa, it changed to "visa processed returned to courier"
She then received her visa the next day with a courier.

We also checked the status everyday and it became frustrating because it never changed.

Good luck and have faith, I hope it all goes well for you and your husband

Hi Ji&Ma,

Shes is flying with Etihad airways, going to Abu dhabi, then to London, then on to Glasgow.

Shes never flown before and Im feeling very nervous for her, i wish i could do it for her! but i have faith, she is intelligent girl and i know she'll be fine.

[Jonnywina]

just don't forget about her CFO sticker. She will need that. chest x-ray as well and she has to make sure to keep all that important documents in her hand luggage :) and congratulations to both of you! I have been here in the Northern Ireland for nearly 6 weeks now and I'm still not used to the cold and wet weather :( and Scottish weather is worst :P make sure you wrap her up when she gets there. and shop for loads of rice, rice cooker and loads of coats!!! hehehe..

May your fiancee have a safe trip to Scotland!! Cheers!

[Scottie1875]

[chiechie74]

Hi scottie...i know the place where you could buy rice in glasgow..if you know the chinese supermarket called SEEWOO at The Point, 29 Saracen St, Hamilton Hill. Glasgow.
There also sell some Philippine product like fish etc...

[Scottie1875]

We'll take a drive there and stock up on food when she comes.
I know there was a filipino shop in Edinburgh, on Easter Road, but my Aunt told me its shut down now, She lives on Easter Road.

[chiechie74]

Hello again, Scottie ...

... from reading your various posts, I understand Eloise had been scheduled to fly out from the Phils on Thursday past. Hope all went well with her first experience of air travel, and trust she arrived safely in Glasgow after her "marathon" flights.

I'd like to take this opportunity of welcoming her to Scotland ... and wish you and your fiancee all the very best for the future together.

Cheers! :Beer:
