visa approved!

[empott]

Guys, I had my visa application approved!
I apologize for not posting it sooner but I was waiting for the 2 spouses I met in VFS to get their visa as well. I didn't feel right rejoicing while they were still waiting.
My visa finally got approved after 4 months, well, minus the 6 days holidays the UKBA had after I lodged my application. Waiting was so hard. The last 2 months was a pure torture. If only I had read that they will be changing immigration law for student visa the week I lodged mine, I could have submitted 5 days ahead! It would have saved me from torture and anguish. (Reading, research and timing are really the key!) Oh well, I have my visa now and that doesn't matter anymore.

I would like to extend my gratitude to the following people:
To Boss Keith and Ate Ping, thank you so much for this wonderful site. It certainly help people like me.
To Mod Joe, thank u for your wisdom and answering all my questions and erasing my doubts. I know I can be annoying at times for asking again and again, but thanks for your patience.
Thank you everyone (especially my good friends here) for all your friendly advice, help and comforting words.
I know it sounds like a speech, but I wanna give credit to all of you.

I hope that the people still waiting and the people that apply in the future will be as fortunate as I have been. Not like the 2 spouses I met in VFS who got refusal.

God bless everyone.

Hi Mrs Hope,
Welcome to the forum. Sounds like like you've included everthing but the kitchen sink with your visa application, I don't think you'll have any trouble getting your visa. A spouse visa is very different from a tourist visa and very much higher percentage of tourist visas are denied.


Iain.

[Sim11UK]

Well done Empott....congratulations! to you.

Sounds like you'll be ok too, Mrs Hope just need to be patient...easier for me to say I know

[Arthur Little]

Guys, I had my visa application approved!

iest Congratulations! ... Was it as a spouse or student? Whichever ... well done!

I apologize for not posting it sooner but I was waiting for the 2 spouses I met in VFS to get their visa as well. I didn't feel right rejoicing while they were still waiting.

Understandable ... and very tactful in the circumstances!

Hear, hear ... !

Not like the 2 spouses I met in VFS who got refusal.

Sad indeed ... and most unusual with spousal applications! I wonder WHY the two ladies were turned-down ... perhaps lack of supporting evidence?

God bless everyone.

And you!

Congratulations Empott

Have a safe trip

[Mrs.Hope]

Hi SIM11UK it sounds good then well thank you guys
take care and have a safe life.

[empott]

Sorry guys for the late reply.
Thank you for the greetings Tiggers, Angel17, Sunshine, Iainbusby, another Sunshine, Sophie, Kimmi dear, Sconnie, MrsJM, Florge, Sim, Tin, and Marilou (Tigress, thanks for always being there.) Yeah, Lets all have a party.
Thanks Penny, hope you are better now and here's hoping for your fast recovery.
Mod Dom, thank you. Yeah, a few more weeks, and I'm goin' to be in Wales. Sorry, mixed emotions. I'm looking forward to meet you and Jet.

The party will be in Doms...and he has promised to supply the caviar and Champagne

Champagne and caviar will be hard to resist. What are you bringing, Boss?

[empott]

Yeah, I did ... and thanks and congratulations as well

Wooow, congratulations Em, you must be very happy now
Could you please elaborate a little about those two who were refused visa? I think it would be helpful...

Thanks Ji, indeed I'm very happy. All the worries have ended. And that means I'll be with hubby soon.
Congratulations to you and Maricel too.

It's not clear to me too coz I didn't read the refusal letter. But 1 spouse has the same situation as Mrs Hope. They've been together for 10 years or so, have a house in England and here in the Phils, have large sum of money in the bank, have kids and she has multiple visit visa and been to UK several times and NOT overstayed at all. But according to her, her refusal letter said she is still lacking of documents.

About the other spouse applicant, out of respect, it's better if we wait for the husband to tell their story here. He became a member 2 weeks ago.

[empott]

wow your wait is over, more than 2 1/2 yrs told you there was nothing to worry about emma have a great life in the uk

It seems longer than 2 1/2 years! But I'm here now at the end of the tunnel. Thanks, Mod. I know I'll have a great life there coz I'll be with my hubby. But I'm scared and too. It'll be my first time to be away from my family.

Arthur Little, you quoted and agreed on everything I said, can I have a green blob (REP) for it pls?

[IainBusby]

Yeah, a few more weeks, and I'm goin' to be in Wales.

I hope your not going to be disappointed when you get to Wales, has no one told you that the only other people there are Keith, Ping, Dom and Jet, after that it's just sheep as far as the eye can see. If you stay there too long you can come down with condition that is very similar to snow-blindness.

[Tawi2]

2 1/2 years Glad you got it in the end though

[aposhark]

Congratulations empott
