Thank you for the great info.. Will use this as a guide, thank you very much.. :omg: I get confused what to do first... It seems like I can provide all this documents easily but I don't know where to start lol.. I called the Iom for my tb test but they advise me to wait for my new passport as I have change my marital status and my name. They when I get that then I can go for Iom. I already have English test done it nov of 2013. For the people here please be patient with me as I will be here most of the time to ask questions regarding spousal visa.. And to the others who is doing the same thing please let's have a contact! Thank u very much!
