    Filling up VAF1...help please

    I am currently filling up tourist visa form, and I need your help, I am confused of these questions:
    ''''In visitor type question no. 6.1.4., If you are not a national of the
    country in which you are applying ,what permission do you have to stay in that country?...""""

    I wish to visit my boyfriend and his family and learn western culture,what evidence of immigration status are required?.....

    I would be very grateful if you could help....thanks in advance.

    Where are you making your application? In Philippines? Are you of Filipino nationality?

    If so, the question is not applicable to you.

    I think you should answer "visitor" cuz that's what you are applying for a tourist visa...

    I'm assuming that PAT is a filipina, applying, in Phils, for a Visa to visit the UK.

    If I'm correct in my assumption, the question is definitely N/A. A Filipina is not a "visitor" in the Philippines.

    I am filling up application form VAF1 for visit visa online and almost done first part. There are some questions that I am not sure the certain answers and I would like to save, but as yet I don't have the visa application number sent to my email address. I am confused now, do I need to proceed?...the only option I got on here is " previous" or "next". It's Saturday... do you think it is the reason why I didn't get the reference number?....Please help me.Any advice is very much appreciated.

    hi pat, r u not going personal appearance to submit ur application? coz if ur going coz u need finger scanning better hv download the application and take it with you rather than applying on line. coz ive done it also last time i applied but just the same they will ask a copy of ur application form on line with other docs they ask.Good that i brought both of them but they ask me which one i would like coz i said to them im not sure of the on line application coz ive made mistake filling up one portion that goes to other portion when i submit.So my application on line goes useless.Unless if ur not going anymore personally for finger scanning which is one of the requirements.

So they ask me which one il submit betwen the two. i choose the downloaded application. so there i got the result 48 hrs..

    Is it true that the invitation letter from sponsor is not later than 15 days old?
    I have certifications and other documents dated last July 2008, are they still valid?I will apply hopefully this September second week.

    i think it doesnt matter. we dont put date on it anyway. and also to the invitation my fiancee did to my brother in law no date. its more than 15 days when we give it to him before he applied even more than a mo. i think even it takes 2 mos he applied after we handed the letter to him.

    important the certification and especially bank records should be the latest 6 mos.I dont think so it matters on invitation letter. just dont put a date on it.
