Coming to the UK.

[Ann07]

Hi all,

Now we have our fiancee visa we're starting to plan my fiancees journey to the UK and have just a few questions.

1- CFO - Do you need to book an appointment in advance or can you just walk up on the day? Her friend has just got her visa to go to the USA and I think they are planning on going together, are there seperate seminars for the USA and UK or can they stay together for the whole process? Once completed is it only valid for a certain period of time? her visa starts on March the 1st but she won't be coming to the UK until April 9th but she plans to go and get the CFO done at the end of this month.

2- MEDICAL - Just want to confirm that she needs to have a chest xray and a certificate saying she is free from TB. Can she have this done at any hospital in the Philippines or does it have to be somewhere officially recognised by the immigration authorities here in the UK? I know she can have this done when she arrives in the UK but we'd rather get it done before she travels to avoid delays at the airport here.

3 - CLEARING IMMIGRATION IN UK - She will obviously carry her passport with visa and cfo stamp and her xray results with her in her hand luggage but is there anything else that she might need to present here at immigration control? I will be travelling with her, is it ok if i queue with her in the line for non EU passport holders even thou i have a UK passport? I just think maybe there will be more chance of her getting thru immigration control quickly and smoothly without being asked lots of questions if we present ourselves together.

Thanks for your time

Wow, congrats

1. When i had it in cebu no need for an apointment just be there early coz they will only get a few numbers of applicant if its busy. I guess they are always busy

2. I dont have any medical records with me when i travelled and i was not asked when i arrived in newcastle. But for some members they do have it, better have it too.

3. I think you cannot queue with your fiancee. Only her passport. so nothing to worry

Goodluck
