Hi all - bad evening as I joined this forum too late to find important news :(
After being caught by the recent UK under-21 rules so that my filipina wife has had to be in Manila the last 7 months, we celebrated this week hearing that she had been given settlement visa and have booked I fear a non-refundable air ticket and holiday hotels in UK for her birthday later this week when she was to fly in.
Now it seems that she wont be able to use her ticket as she needs this CFO sticker and I dont think 4 days will be enough (wedding cert needs authentication by NSO, plus course seems to require 5 days notice)
She will be so upset when I phone her in 3 hrs when she wakes up - but she had a friend who got into USA on fiance visa and had made no mention of this CFO business and of course the embassy peeps had said nothing.
Oh I am waffling sry - just wanted to ask if when we finally get together do I still need to buy her a "return ticket" booked for 2011 when her settlement visa runs out - it would seem stupid but I have learnt to trust nothing.
