Hello

My name is Ian and this site was recommended to me after my wife was refused a settlement visa today.

We met in December last year and married at the end of February.

We applied for a Visa on 27th March and after an interview today lasting 20 minutes we were declined under section (iii) - not convinced of genuine future for relationship and reasons for marrying.

I assume all people on here understand the love of a soul mate from the Philippines.

If you or your spouse have been declined a settlement visa I would appreciate knowing your experience of the appeals process and grateful for any advice on seeking a change of decision from the UK embassy in manila.

If you have any other advice for someone new to the iste that would be great and I will try to respond to all update.

Thanks
