The date of birth as it needs to be entered: day 05 (if may) year

The track your application is on the left hand side of the page.
Hope this works for you, Mick.

THREE successes [that we know of] in as many days ... Cheers!!! ... And here's to the next batch ...

[Bluebirdjones]

if you'd also included photos of your respective "his & Her" tattoos you'd have got the visa earlier LOL !

Only joking ..... but will be interesting to see the ECO's response time to Pumpkin's innovative application !

My best wishes to you all ...... CONGRATULATIONS.

Hi all,
I am relived to say on checking the website checker today it now says “Your application is ready for collection, please visit the UK Visa Application Centre where you submitted your visa application to collect the same”.
When she submitted her settlement spousal visa application on 16th April 2009, Jennifer was working in Manila, and has since returned home to CDO so I suppose she will when ready go back to Manila to collect her passport and visa then have the CFO seminar before flying here.
I know she has to book a day for the CFO and I need dates from her before I can book her flight.
I am so relived and can only hope Jennifer will travel soon.
Mick

Congratz to you Mick and to your wife....

wow!!! congratulations, mick! so happy for you! :-) i really hope my sister gets her visa soon. if they're now processing april 26 applicants, i wonder why my sister's not in yet? she emailed them just now to follow-up as well. CONGRATULATIONS!!! at least the long wait is finally over!

[Mjaes]

just checked the status of my sister's application and it said: "returned to the courier." how long does it normally take for the package to arrive? rayoflight, how many days from change of status did u get the actual package?

Is there a difference between your application being 'ready for collection' and it has been 'returned to the courier'??

[Ji&Ma]

Depends on where is she from - if she lives in Metro Manila or around it is usually the next day, for more remote province you need to add from day to three days...
Just tell her to be at home to pick it up personally as the courier WON'T give it to anybody else - even if they present valid ID of that person...
Thanks to this policy we "missed" one day as my Maricel been working when they tried to deliver it for the first time. So today she took off to wait for the courier...
Good luck, hope the result is positive
Looks like we have a week of good news on the forum now

[Ji&Ma]

Is there a difference between your application being 'ready for collection' and it has been 'returned to the courier'??

Yes- if it says "ready for collection" you have to go to VFS to pick it up as you didn't paid for courier service when applying.
"Processed, returned to courier" means it will be delivered by Aboitiz2GO courier as a confidential package in a few days...

Depends on if he paid for the courier service when he submitted his visa application at VFS. My Maricel lives in Makati and we paid for it as we thought it is more comfortable and it wasn't so much money on top of the visa fee...

Ahh ok! I will have to check with Arnie as im not sure if he paid the extra but ur right, not so much on top of the visa fee!

Hi, all
Just to say Jennifer has been to the embassy and picked up her passport and Visa, and proudly showed me it on the web cam, and if arranging to go for the CFO on Monday.
And we are hoping she will fly here early September.
Thanks again for all your support.
Mick.

Hi Mick - congratulations, well done, glad to hear that everything is OK
About CFO - is she going to counselling session in Cebu or Manila? Just asking because from what I've seen on their web I've got the impression that seminars for UK are held just Tuesdays and Thursdays in Manila...

Hi Ji&Ma,
She said she was going to stay in Manila and go on Monday, I will warn her that it could be Tuesday but I do not think it will affect her to stay anouther night.
Thanks for letting us know, it will help.
Mick.

[Mjaes]

what again is CFO? is that the next step after one gets a visa? :-)
