    We know where you're coming from... We know that you wanted to be here with your fiance/bf. As what they have mentioned above, there is no rush for you to come here especially now the Immigration Rules have changed regarding age.

    You are 18 and even if you will apply for student visa, the ECO might/will still refuse you as the purpose of your application is to be with your bf/fiance.

    Do not rush into things my friend. Take your time. Let your partner visit you again. As Tawitawi said, take a shortterm course or a college degree as this will help you in applying for a job once you are here. You do not want to be idle once you get here, do you? Enjoy your life while you are still young.

    If your fiance/bf can wait then it is true love... If he can't then it's his loss!

    Take care & bless you!



    Just Me & My friendly advice,
    very good advice,zobel

    Wink

    ruthy

    slow down i started my relationship in august 2007 in that time we have applied 3 times for visitors visa to get my fiancee into the uk the last time she had an interview with the british consol and he said your wasting your money trying to get into the uk via that route he advised i go there we get married then she will allowed to come here i also explained that i might be retiring to the philippies in a couple of years so we dont realy need a settlement visa he was not interested

    so what i am saying is its not going to be easy for you because of your age restricions there is no quick fix slow down at least have a few more holidays together if he has a pc get yourselves on line every day

    you have many trials to over come first

    is the changes of rules in the uk already constant
    You cannot marry anytime in the Philippines if you are 18!!!
    No Priests, no Civil authorties will conduct your marriage unless
    YOU have parental consent.

    You cannot apply for any type of visa until you reached 21. If you have relative here, they can sponsor you for a visit visa but not the BF

    So be patient. Enjoy being single. Study first so if you have studied even short courses, you can easily find job here. Did you know that even college graduate here are hard to get a proper job? That is if you want to work and help your hubby as everything here is shocking expensive.

    This isn't true, BFs can and have successfully sponsored their GF for visit visa. Though there is no guarantees it wil be granted.

    and if you mention you want to see your b/f, there is a chance they will refuse you, because the embassy can say that's a major reason for not going back to the phils, as you have a b/f here..

    you just can't win sometimes ..

    but you could try for a visitor visa, thou it could well be refused and you could only stay 6 months in 1 yr

    student visa you could try, but expensive and they are more difficult to get now, as it is points based.

    but maybe your only hope, apart from waiting til your 21, is you get married, your husband then exercises his EU Treaty Rights in another EU country for a few months, and then uses the Surinder Singh route to return to the UK. After all there is nothing about the age 21 issue in the EU Directive, concerning freedom of movement for EU citizens and their family members.

    In order to use the Surinder Singh route, your husband, as he would be, would need to be economically active in another EU state ..... employed or self-employed. if he could go and live in Ireland for a few months or longer until you get your family permit, and then you could come to the uk.

    you will be refused a settlement visa if your under 21, its the law, its not at the discretion of the embassy or a case worker.

    people are now being refused for being under 21.

    he would have to go and live in another european country for at least 3 months and apply for a family permit using european law, not a spouse visa which is under British immigration law, as the over 21yr old only applies to people who apply under the British immigration system, not the european one..

    not easy for many people to go and live in another european country, but some people do, they have a holiday home in spain or portugal, or can find a new job easily..

    not easy but might be better than waiting 3yrs.. and family permit as mod dom will tell you cost nothing

    If agencies telling you that it is still possible to get spouse visa even if you're only 18, then they're lie-ing (just to get kwarta out of you) or they just being ignorant not knowing the new uk immigration rules.

    yes it would look suspicious and it would be expensive..

    and 3 years is a long time to wait, many LDRs would not survive it

    so your choices are he goes and lives in the phils with you or he moves to a european country or you wait 3 years..

    or you apply for a visitor visa and hope you get one, allowing you t ocome to the uk for 6 months a year..

    YOUR RIGHT............HE CAN VISIT ME ANYTIME TILL I CANT GET A SPOUSAL TO COME IN THE UK STEADILY.............WHILE WAITING FOR A 3 YRS OVER TO COME WHEN I GET 21

    BUT ASUMING BEING HER WIFE ALREADY AND OF COURSE WERE MARRIED HERE IN PHIL

    THEN IF I APPLY FOR A TOURIST VISA.........W/ HIS SPONSORED
    SO AS PART OF THE REQ HE WILL NEED TO SHOW HIS ACCOMODATION

    AND EXAMPLE IN MY PART HAVING NO STEADY WORK AND OF COURSE THE EMBASSY WILL LOOK BACK INTO MY PROPERTY OR ACCOMODATIONS.......WOULD IT AFFECTS ME IF I DONT HAVE MUCH.BUT I WILL JUST ASE ON MY HUBBY SITUATIONS TO COME AND VISIT

    WOULD IT HAVE A CHANCE TO BE GRANTED BY VISA?

    With fiance/marriage visas you have to be over 21, but I don't think that you have to be over 21 to apply for a tourist visa.

    getting a visitor visa can be pot luck,

    some people have got a visitor visa while having no job, savings or property in the phils, and some people have been refused while they had a job, savings and property in the phils..


    so you cannot be sure of getting one at all.

    but if your married you will have the right to appeal if your refused, but the embassy might say because your''e married, you have no reason to return to the phils. so they will refuse you a visa

    ok. I hope she can get one As I have never heard of any applicant granted visa for 18 years old girlfriend

    I still remember and have seen applicants who applied tourist visa and denied. They were crying outloud outside the embassy. Really I feel sorry for them as they really want to go.

    2nd April 2009

    To the A&I Tribunal,

    With regards to a visa application, which was recently submitted to the Manila VFS Global centre in Makati? I have been together with the lady involved, and have been waiting for a response for her to be either accepted or rejected as a visitor coming to the UK.
    Having had confirmation through their web site pages that the visa has been processed and also by txt on Routchil’s phone as stipulated when submitted the application, Routchil has traveled from Cebu to Manila to claim the visa as informed on both accounts.
    When she arrived there, she was told that the visa was not going to be issued to her, and this has caused ripple effect along the line of coming here to the UK. Through this information given to both of us, With this in mind, I purchased a flight ticket for her to have the next day in coming, as returning back to Cebu seemed pointless and then return again back for her flight at a different time. We assumed all was fine and all that was needed was to pick up the visa from the VFS and get the plane to fly here to the UK.

    Since speaking to me about this ordeal, Routchil has been in tears as to what to do next. If I had known that the visa was not to be issued, I would not have bought the airline ticket (See attachments) for Routchil to come over here. Also, when I rang the VFS, I realized that who ever gave the information to Routchil was in fact incorrect. I feel I have been misinformed & so does Routchil on this. It has not been a good 24 hrs for both of us.

    The knock back, of not receiving the visa, is not an issue with me but the information that one person tells you something and you trust the information on the webpage being correct. This is a misunderstanding to say the least on the webpage and txt to be something else.

    All in all, it has set me back £1000.00 pounds in transport costs for this mishap to have happened. If this had been dealt with in a proper manner, with the correct information sent out explaining the circumstances of why the visa had not been issued, might then, have been able to re-address certain issues and mishaps instead of believing that we were to be granted a visa.

    I do not even know why after 30 days the application has in fact been rejected, even though I have read the wording from Mr. Mustafa’s comments, but all I know from my conversations with the VFS supervision (See email attachment) that Maria Madrilejo also wanted to know who had made this dreadful mistake and wanted us to tell her know who it was. Routchil did not know when she came to pick up the visa this man in question was who summoned her. By the time this letter has been processed through the Asylum & Immigration Tribunal area, will be too late to solve this issue.
    I have built up a very good and friendly relationship with Routchil and of which we have spent time in her country. I was hoping she would be able to reply here and see just what a good nation we are living in. After this, I am not so sure my faith in humanity here is all it should be.
    I appeal to you and your sense of judgment, that you can see what has gone on here and reinstate the visa for Routchil.

    I have enclosed the information required below and also an email from a representative from the VFS clarifying the position of the misunderstanding:-


    Sent to: VFS Global Centre, Makati, Manila

    Name: xxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxx

    DofB: 07/01/1991

    Applying for: Visitors visa

    Sent to: 16th February 2009 of application

    VFS Global Ref. No. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx




    Things that were presented to the VFS in Manila but never received back when Routchil went to collect her documents:-

    1) Wage slip
    2) Utility bills
    3) Deeds to my house
    4) Pictures of us together in Manila
    5) Emails & correspondences
    6) Invitation Letter from me for Routchil to spend time with me, as stipulated in the VAF1A requirements.
    7) Original Birth Certificate of Routchil Gealon

    Things we did receive back were her passport and the ticket for paying for the visa from the bank.

    Because Routchil was not given all the documents back from the VFS, I have only a copy of the Invitation which was submitted at the time at hand. I have to stress that Mr. Mustafa, who is the Entry Clearance Officer is looking at our case from the documents provided here. From his deductions, I feel he is not aware of the full facts or that he has not been given all the information to deduce his assumptions on Routchil. All the information he has referred to has been substantiated in my documents given to the VFS at the time.

    I stress, that from sections i ii iii of the ruling of paragraph 41 of the Immigration laws should incomprehensively be discharged as lack of evidence to support Mr. Mustafa’s foundations in arriving towards Rouchil Gealon. That I Graham Smith have stated in my Invitation letter that all of the above will in fact be adhered to accordingly. If there are other things that are driving this decision here, I would like to be informed of. My intentions here are for Routchil to come here and spend 6 months as a visitor.

    I am not a man who breaks the law and if things are not correct, am first to try and put things in perspective. I appeal to your better judgment & hope you can come to an amicable decision on this. Additional to the information is that Routchil has been working in the family business and provided are details of her employment (See attachments)


    SUMMARY of APPEAL



    I have provided an invitation letter here and all others documents are with the VFS.

    The misinformation of txt message and webpage stating, that our application had now been accepted and ready to be picked up.

    The airfare of which I based this information on, as to why would I have gone out and bought a ticket for Routchil and why would she have also travelled to Manila knowing that she was going to be disappointed on arrival.

    The email I received from Maria Madrilejo the supervisor stated, and of which now, since speaking with her directly has in fact rescinded her statement to me and told us that our visa has now been rejected.

    My bank details, utility bills, house ownership, wage slip has been confiscated and not returned back to us

    If Routchil has been seen to have committed a crime here from being thorough and working within the documents UK Border Agency has provided and also the VAFA1 form, much as I hate to mention that I appeal again to your logical thinking in this matter and if your decision is still to reject her invite to the UK, please explain to me what we have to abide by in order to think further and hopefully not come across another and expense again.


    Yours Sincerely

    Why did you buy a ticket already? You can book a flight and ask for Booking Certificate. It cost free at Gulf Air b4. Or you can buy ticket which you can refund.

    Dear Rutch,

    I can understand how you feel right now. When i was 17 i received a marriage proposal. It feels great when you hear these words, doesn't it? especially when you know that he loves you very much and offers you everything to make you happy and contented.

    It's not because someone offers you marriage then you will rush into it. You have to think many times. At your age, you should be enjoying singlehood. Life is different once you get married. But anyway, it is your life and it's still your decision that will prevail. Everything that will come across your path as you go along the relationship will be an eye opener for you. We never stop learning anyway.

    Just a friendly advice here. I hope you come up with the right decision and be happy with whatever it may be.

    You can get married in the Phils provided you need to have parental consent. Then you can apply for a spouse visa at age 21.




    Best of luck.
    Cheers
