    spouse visa

    hi everyone.
    i got married to my long term girlfriend in the Philippines recently,
    We are to put our application in to get her spouse visa,
    just a couple of things we need advice on.
    Where do we get the application checklist from ?
    Also do we have to have many savings to influence the decision,
    my account is stable but i am not rich.

    hope you can help me please.

    thanks

    hi Tony,

    first of all Congratulations on ur wedding..

    u can get the checklist from the http://www.vfs-uk-ph.com

    ..and make sure to submit as much evidence of ur relationship as possible..

    u dont need to have lots of savings just evidence that ur wife will not going to recourse in public funds if ever she arrives here in the U.K.

    there are lots of posts/threads here already about applying for a spouse visa and I am pretty sure it will be of help to u..just use the SEARCH engine..

    Goodluck and Congrats again..

    Here is a link to the site where you can download the checklist. http://www.vfs-uk-ph.com/checklist.aspx

    There is no set figure for savings, but generally thought best to have about £2000 to £3000. The main thing is that you appear to be reasonably solvent and have enough of an income to provide for both yourself and your new wife without recourse to benefits of any kind.
    Iain.

    yep that will be alright... as long as you are back on track!

    bank statements
    mortgage/rent
    employment status/certificates
    and others

    are all important for the application...

    What TONY73 meant was, that he enjoyed his stay so much, that if he didn't have to, he would stay in the Philippines.
    His reality is though, that he has to come back to the UK. Therefore, his wife will apply for a spouse visa, so that she can join him.

    Goodluck! TONY73

    Goodluck for the wife's application
    It's good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good to check up once in a while to make sure you haven't lost the things that money can't buy.
