Just to double check - a few quieries

[Alec&Davina]

Hi All. Firstly I would like to thank everyone that helped me on my previous thread "Medical"

My wife is in the Philippines and has her spouse visa and cfo and is coming here in June. And from what i understand, she may need an x-ray taken at Heathrow. So now hopefully there shouldnt be any more probs, but I have few Questions.

1. Does anyone know, roughly what sort of delay I can expect from the time the flight arrives, to the time she comes through into the arrivals hall?

when my wife arrived here, she didn't have any time delays just make sure she have an X-ray certificate to be sure.

2. Once we are home, do we have to inform or report to anyone, about her arrival?

u need to inform your Council Registry and the GP of course!

3. what are her limitations, legally, when she is here?

Since she's on a spouse visa, she is not yet entitled to most of the benefits provided by our country.

4. Is there anything else we have to do or complete, or is the next stage the ILR, 24 months down the road?

She need to take Life in the UK Test before her visa expires because she will need the certificate together with other documents for her ILR application.

5. We married in the Philippines, does this have to be reported or notified anywhere?

u dont need to, it's already valid here in the UK

6. is she and her 2 kids entitled to register with our local GP?

she and her kids should be registered to ur GP when they arrive here just bring their passports with visa stamped and ur marriage certificate.

7. She has family in Finland. Does anyone know the implications, visa wise, with us going there as a visit? e.g. does her spouse visa allow further travel?

U need to apply her for another visa, Schengen Visa for European Countries.

sorry for the information overload but i just have this fear of someone from immigration knocking at my door in a few weeks time, threatening to deport my wife, cos I forgot to do something.

Many Thanks in advance.

It's ok mate I am sure all of us in here experienced what you are experiencing right now. Goodluck.
