hi , can anyone tell me if my filipina wife stands a chance of getting the visa she applied for this week ?? my quistion is ,,,my bank account is just about empty every month but i have a good job with good money which iv been in for 13 years now and i own my house ,but i think they might turn her down because of my bad bank account , on my last bank statmant i did have about £1300 in it , also my name on my passport is luke david pluss my surname but on my birth certifacate it is david luke pluss my surname will this matter at all , will they turn our visa down , all my documants are signed L.pluss surname ,we where married 6 months ago after we met last year for the first time , iv know her for over a year and a half now , anyone want to say something to make me stop worrying ???

to minimise the chances of refusal, you should have some savings in your bank (a few £k), but many people have got a visa while being on benefit or unemployed and having no savings, but they do risk a higher chance of refusal, as to how they can support their partner

passport and birth cert i don't think that is a problem

well if you've applied for the visa already, not much you can do, but wait

but if you have your own place and a job, with a bit of luck you should be ok

thank,s mate , yes i have my own house and well paid job but iv been spending money on the house so i dont keep much in the bank ,ill send your reply to my wife it will make her a bit happier,

you could have explained in a letter of support that you've spent what's left of your wages on your home, but it would have been better if for a few months, you lived off your credit card and built up your money in your bank account, then when you've got your visa, pay the CC off with your money in your bank account

but as your working and have a good job and own your own home, then you should be ok.

[luke99]

hi , yes i did explain in the letter that i have spent all my savings on two trips to the philippines and my wedding and most of it on my home , i just hope this will put them in a good mood , i even asked them to grant the visa as i served in the british army for many years , i hope that by saying that it might help , i served my country so i want my country to serve me now , we will see , thanks for the help mate ,

Have you tried Phoning/emailing the Embassy?

You can also track the application online, up to a certain point...

I would not be surprised if they still doing "local checks"...

Good luck, and hope your mrs will get here before Christmas for you.

MOD Aromulus, how does it work... How can I track my application, I'm trying to do it but it's not working... I have the receipt from VFS when I lodge my application last Nov. 10. What's the reference number to put, I forgot to asked the VFS staff about this and I didn't called yet the hotline....

The reference number never worked for us, when I tracked Jet application.

What worked was the passport number and date of birth instead...

12weeks... hmmm.... are there lots of people applying for visas? it's a bit slow atm...

[flomike]

is it really different way of dealing the application between the Brits spouse than an immigrants getting their dependants?

My filipina friend went home to Phils 8 Nov to get her 3 children she even bought their ticket back to UK even she haven't file their application in the embassy in Phils When she arrived in manila by monday she submitted the application for her children.

Guess what just after 10 days of waiting visa approved and they'll coming to UK this coming Sat already..that's what you call lucky

[kimmi]

well done Luke..

[kimmi]

Luke, make sure ur wife have a CFO sticker on her passport, before she travels here..Congratz again..

[luke99]

what,s a cfo ?????

[5olidsnake]

CFO

your wife will have to attend a "Guidance and Counseling seminar" at one of the cfo offices
and obtain a "cfo sticker" in her passport, or the Philippines authorities will not let her leave the airport.
