Our Fiancee Visa Is Approved :)

[silver13]

Thanks to all who made this forum what it is and helped Me and Anilyn get our Fiancee Visa Application correct, the additional information we found in here helped to ensure the result we wanted so badly :)

Special thanks to Boss man Kieth for making this forum free and all the humor in here :)

Our Fiancee Visa was approved today and soon after the CFO Annie can return to England and we can finally get married on hopefully the 17th November :) No interview was needed but it took 10 weeks to process, maybe because of the back log caused by the changeover to Bio-metric data?

What we provided :-

Letter of Invite
120 pages double sided of e-mails the rest on CD in MS Word and PDF
50 double sided pages of Photos together (200 photos) the rest on CD
Copies of Postal letters and cards
Telephone bills also proving I called her everyday at my home while I was working!!!
DVD home movie of all the different paces we went together
Bank Statements / wage slips
Proof of flights to the Philippines to see Anilyn and her flights to see me.
Passport copies etc showing her visit Visor also to see me

All went well and as planned, my final advise is work hard at proving your relationship and the financial stuff and you should have no problem getting a visa :) Send Your Fiancee half a tree in the post or back with her in her suitcase, it will reduce the ammount of chocolate she can carry, but that will save her families health :)

Mariming Maraming Salamat, Thanks Everyone

Paul, One Very Happy Man :) Ok I go for a celebratory drink Na :)

Hi Andy

As far as I know Anilyn did not need to supply Biometric Data as she made her application 2 days before the change over to Biometric data.

Other information we supplied was of course both our Birth Certificates and also a Letter from the company where I work, confirming My Salary and amount of time I have worked there.

Have I missed anything out? Anyway users of this wonderful forum can find all in a search as usual :)

Maraming Maraming Salamat to all your congratulations in here, it makes us feel happy knowing that we are not alone in our quest to be together, no matter what paperwork we need to resolve to be together!!! Thank You All So Very Very Much for a friendly and sometimes funny reply :)

We will post more about our experience with the CFO and FLR and ELR as they happen!!!!

Thanks again Kieth, Hoover and Cleaning tools at the ready Sir :)

Ingat!!! Take Care

it's ok tom :) oh well paul is just happy and i am happy too after it took a little longer than expected but the waiting game is over :BouncyHappy:

thank you to all of you guys, i finished my seminar and cfo thing just today:) i thought i will be able to do it on tuesday because the schedule for UK bound is every tuesdays and thursdays at 10am but as long as you are there, they will accommodate you.

Mmmmm think that is the understatement of the year Mahal Ko :)

Ok serious stuff :)

I spoke to Anilyn earlier and for those that do not know, the CFO is nothing to really worry about, although it could scare you half to death!!!! :omg: They show a video of what could happen if you are not careful about who you are going to meet when you travel, more for the ones who have not travelled to see thier future Husband / Wife and stayed in England. The negative points like People Trafficking, Forced Prostitution, low wages and forced to live in terrible conditions :yikes: etc all nasty stuff that can and does go on in England and I guess other parts of the world. not just Western countries, but England has its unfair share :(

The CFO is basically councelling about the move to England or wherever!! Not all where travelling to England in the CFO Seminar, I think Annie said there was only 2 including herself.

They ask questions and then give out information packs relating to the country of travel and that is basically it for the Seminar.

After that You have to travel with your CFO certificate and get the stamp put into your Passport along with the Visa, Then you are free to travel to England and get married :)

Without the stamp I believe it would be possible to travel but you would be doomed when in England and still could not marry, so this is very important to make sure you get the CFO Certificate and Stamp and take it with You!!!!

Thanks again to all in here, hope this information is of help to someone!!

Hopefully my grey hairs will turn dark again now that we have the Fiancee Visa and CFO :)

No worry Tom when you get to 40 the mind starts getting worse :Cuckoo: Maybe some of my brain cells will return now too :cwm3:

[gracia143]

Hi there Paul and of course Annie! Glad to have had a wonderful date with her...and mind you Paul, i did not try to bite her nor did she...we clicked on straight away and had nice chat over food at Robinson's Mall...Annie is sweet. Boy, you are lucky!...Today, we went to shop for her wedding gown and we both enjoyed the hunt. The choice was great and hope you like your smart shirt (Barong Tagalog), will get one for my Trev within the week. Don't worry about the gray hairs, they are just fine...it just shows you gained wisdom over the years. Hope Tom will have his soon (Hi Tom! wasn't meant as an insult...). Take care all of you guys, glad i belong to Keith's big family.

[mamichris]

Hi Gracy :-) Yeah Annie is sweet and I am one very lucky man :) You are ok to meet Annie now, you both done it anyway, but In England we tend to take more care, well at least you both did talk on the cell phone? Did'nt you? and you met in a public place so that is good too :-) So I could not growl too much at Annie for not being careful who she meets :-)

I am glad you helped Annie get a Marikit (Beautiful in poetic Tagalog) Na Wedding Dress :-) And she taught you not to say your BF is a foriegner while in the shop :-) Mmmmm 200% + extra charge for the dress here we come, just like the Taxi's in Manila :-) Saying that we got a dress worth Hundreds of Pounds in Manila for 10 times less :) I am happy and My Bank balance is happier so Me and Annie can use it for other wedding arrrangements :-)

Grey Hairs Gracy :-) I don't have them anymore, they got ripped out today while I was trying to get an Air Flight for Anilyn Web site said 577 USD so I went to Bham Airport and tried to purchase, Mmmmm they cannot sell for that price something about the Yield Manager on thier database will not give the same price, they wanted 3 x the ammount, so I am checking other options. I cannot use the web site because it requires the person flying to enter thier own credit card details. I phoned the airline direct and still the yield manager says no :Brick::furious3::bigcry::angry::Help1: I will try travel agents as they have the authorisation to book for a third party as long as I pay in person with my card or cash GRRRRRRR I am down to only one hair by this point :)

Maybe this should be in the RANT section :)

Hope no one els has this problem but I guess some will :-(

Thanks again Gracy, speak to you soon and Thanks to all in here again :)

bye mart

Thanks Mart I just looked, my head is buzzing :) I am a slightly irritated man at the moment, dam computers and pricing policies, why 3x the ammount? The problem is caused by short notice I guess and also the fact that 3rd Party booking for someone in another country and being paid here in the UK is not allowed by Emirates GRRR :) I have to :) or I will :bigcry:

Last time I had no problem, telephoned Emirates got better quote than travel agencies and they gave me booking number, I went to Bham Airport and paid then I sent Annie the booking referance number she went to Emirates in Manila and got her e-ticket, simple, but not this time :( Rant Rant Rant :Brick: :Brick: :Brick: :Brick: but I will let you know more tomorrow :)

Anyone else had this problem?

Cheers Mart :) Speak to you again one day when I am calmer :)
