Time getting nearer (Spouse VIsa)

[ron]

Hi everyone ive just been reading all the threads of those who just got there VISAS so quickly Congratualtions.

Today i was communicating with my wife Deanna in Davao. Assisting her in the application form. I tyhink there was some questions she didnt quite understand. It states when did the relationship start. Can this also mean online or when you actually meet.

Anyway Deanna will submit the appication on the 23rd October. We are both excited but nervous already. Only 2 more weeks and we will be there. Well my wife will be.

I just received the last 6th month bank statement for the ECO. I know in the next 2 weeks most of this savings will be long gone. We just hope that the ECO will not request the next months bank statement as i imagine it will be quite lowish.

Hope all you who are applying soon will be succesful . Good Luck

Ron

state when you first met,either online or in person or whatever came first and all the other times you have communicated,backed up by evidence

i gave the six months statements for the visa,the day after my bank account was empty..so send them before you spend the money

[joebloggs]

When did you first meet your sponsor? When did your relationship begin?

This question refers to the first time you met your sponsor in person, and not the first time you "met" on the internet. In the traditional view maintained by many ECO's, people first meet in person and a relationship ensues sometime after that. In a contemporary view that embraces the internet, people begin a relationship before they actually meet in person. We suggest sticking with the traditional view for this series of questions whilst simultaneously not concealing anything of relevance.

but it shouldn't make much difference which you put..

and goodluck in 2wks ron

Thanks Bornatbirth. Yes i just received the final bank statement on saturday and showed just over 3000 pounds in credit. Sadly this will start disapearing very soon. Visa and flights to Manila for my wife etc.

your getting really helpful mr bornatbirth
keep it up, no, not that , your advice

[ron]

Thanks Joe all going to plan now.

You know today was so funny. On the C2 application it requests countersignature by someone else for the picture of bens passport. After 30 mins of trying to explain to my wife that she needs to visit her doctor or a professional person as they will sign. She replied ........... Will this mean they will have there photo taken with our son as well. .....My wife is bright but sometimes can be difficult to explain this and that. Anyway i thought id just share this with everyone.
Ron

[bornatbirth]

what date do you get your statements?

as long as you send the latest statement with money in it,then you should be fine!

Ron

its easy to get confused,it happens to all of us... including me

[ron]

my last 6th month statement received on the 3rd October. This shows blance from 2nd Sept to Oct 2nd. Next statement would be received on 3rd Novemeber Ron

[bornatbirth]

then make sure the 6th as money in it before you send it,try even using a credit card instead of the money in the account so the balance is always looking good!

[ron]

Thanks again. Sorry i dont have credit card. Yes the final bank statement im sending will show the savings with no heavy withdrawls.

[bornatbirth]

good,then you shouldnt have a problem because i cleared my account after sending off the bank statements.

[ron]

Looks like Baked beans for me this month. Thanks

[bornatbirth]

i lived on credits cards for a while so my account had money in them,only problem was i had to repay them

Sounds familiar, lots of explaining to my wife regarding what was required and who could sign.

Make sure you use the correct background, the requirements for the Philippines is blue but for the UK is white.

Ron. I listed the relationship starting when we first started chatting and getting to know each other, I think there is a difference between the relationship first starting and when did you first meet I also double checked this with a immigration lawyer and his words were that a relationship doesn't have to be in person but can be started as soon as you are learning about each other. Makes sense to me.

Oh and my bank statements were 3 weeks old when we submitted and it didn't cause any problems. We got our visa just last week after just 7 days so you better start getting the house straight ready for her!!

Good luck mate.

Thanks for all your replys. Apreciated Ron
