im getting married in the phils this sept then as soon as my mahal receives our marriage cert back from NSO we will be applying for a spouse visa also i think that could be around nov time

[junior02]

also would anybody know here if the eco takes into account that the money i send to my wife fortnightly would be extra money that i will have once she is here, as im not earning loads and most of what i earn is paying bills here and in philippines for the wife and are 2 children. but i have £3000 savings and between £50 to£100 left each week..( and also would they take into account that my children woud be entitled to family allowance as they have brit birth certs and brit passports) if i write that in my supporting letter..any advice?

you just have to be honest in what they ask and what you put , saving are good and having that spare each week too, just make sure you have not been overdrawn , your accounts will show where the money is going each week or month , the forms that you will need to fill in will ask for all the imformation the supporting letter you can add to that as much as you want too:)

thats exactly what i do as long as your wife keeps all the Western union receipts that will be fine

[stevewool]

thats right just what steve says , its hard to think of everything but in time it will all come together, with steve and steve guiding you :xxgrinning--00xx3:

im not sure if my wife keeps all her receipts(im calling her 2moro so will ask) but i keep all mine so i hope that will be ok and i will send them 2 her..

[stevie c]

yes junior that should be fine but you must get your wife t keep everything don't throw nothing its always better to have too much than too little:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[stevewool]

you cant remember all and you wont have every receipt too its just having a pattern

[junior02]

it is hard thinking of everything as i no how strict the visa people are as wife was refused visa last year, thanks steve and stevec for your help:xxgrinning--00xx3::xxgrinning--00xx3:

[stevewool]

what reason did they refused it for

[junior02]

what reason did they refused it for

at the time i was living in phils and wife applied for family visit visa, they refused as they did not think my wife woud return to phils and was generaly seeking entry for a period not exceeding 6 months, at the time i had a small business in uk but it went bust due to recession early this year, so came back 2 uk to work for a company and now applying for a spouse visa to live here together, since been told that a family visit visa is the hardest to get even though we have a home in phils and had good bank statements at the time and got a home here that i was sub letting.. hopefully spouse visa will be a differint outcome..

[stevewool]

seems a spouse visa and the fiancee visa is the way to go for lots ,
