Hello Reema, welcome to the forum :Wave:

Congratulations of your recent marriage.

The best advice right now is to get your marriage certificate asap.
In the meantime start preparing and collecting evidence for your visa application.

As a start please take a look here (http://filipinaroses.com/showthread.php/36554-How-To-Apply-For-A-Spouse-Visa) for information on applying for a Spouse Visa

hello!!!Thanks for the warm welcome :) just would like to ask how long can i get the certificate for the English language test exam..thank you

Take a look at the UKBA webpage Approved English language tests for partners. (http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/newsarticles/2010/275292/46-english-test-partners)
The listing of tests etc can be found on the right hand side as a link.

I would suggest to review the UKBA approved listing and find an approved test centre and provider near to where you live.
Might be a good idea to request information on how long it takes to process the pass certificate. Some members have had to wait a long time.

There's plenty of threads/posts on this subject if you do a quick search.

We are from the IOM too. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

My wife took her tests at Hopkins Manila last July. I can't remember exactly how long it took for the results but I seem to remember the same day for one set of them (or maybe a few days) and about 3 weeks for the 2nd set, a few days less than they actually quoted. We found Hopkins to be pretty good / professional and many people on here have said the same. I will ask her when I get home tonight.

Heres a forum link to Hopkins themselves though I don't know if they are about much at the moment.

It took my wife 2 weeks. But it does vary a lot.

And IOM Immigration have to take a look at it too so it can take an extra few days because of that.

I am not actually Manx. But I live in Douglas. I gather the spouse visa process is the same though for anyone who is Manx. Good luck with the English Language test.
