Savings, Jobs, and Settlement (Spousal) Visa

[James Hubbard]

one of a few ways a spouse can face a ban is by trying to obtain a visa using deception.

if your fiancée is refused. appeal if you think you have good evidence to over turn it, else re-apply with stronger evidence or get wed.

it's not worth wasting your time on other ways, when it might cause even more problems

have you lived in the phils with your fiancée ? if so for how long ?

Hi Joe. Actually I am married, and we lived together for a year, and just over 10 of those months we were married.

sorry i got you mixed up with someone else

If the sponsor (co-sponsor) is self-employed, owns his own company, or if the sponsor (co-sponsor) does not work, then the employment contract and P60 can be substituted with certified copies of the previous two years' tax returns accompanied by a notarized version of his business accounts.

if i was you, i would accept the first job your offered, get at least 3 pay slips and apply for a spouse visa,

can you live with your parents ? and would they write a letter to sponsor your wife's accommodation ? so you wouldn't need to pay rent.

you have enough savings,
you've been married a while so the embassy should not say your relationship is not genuine,

so you just need a place for her to live (if you haven't already) and a job

Hi Joe, I own my house - outright, no mortgage.

All I need now is the job! I'll accept the first offer i get, it's just getting that bloomin offer now ... it used to be a lot easier than this ... but thanks to the crunch, and it's very difficult now

... let's see what tomorrow's interview brings ... you never know your luck!

[James Hubbard]

... let's see what tomorrow's interview brings ... you never know your luck!

Well, I just got a confirmation call, there are 6 people shortlisted for this team leader role job tomorrow ... and there will be 3 definite job offers made (so I got 50% chance of getting a job) ... and then if there are 4 or 5 good candidates who get a good enough score, then they may be willing to open up a few extra posts.

It's a very cash rich company who can do that sort of thing.

Thanks everyone for your wonderful encouragement. I really appreciate everything.

As for owning my own house ... that's how I was able to live in the Philippines for a year - I had tennants.

But now, I'm back living in my house. It's a 4 bedroom house that's fairly spacious. I am very priveleged - at my age - to own this.

This means that even if I do eventually end up with a job that doesn't pay a huge amount, my living expenses are really small.

Own house, no mortgage, Own car - no monthly payments, cheap insurance, cheap to fuel. It'll be a beautiful life when I have my job and my wife here, then ... life will be great we need NOTHING else

Again, thanks to everyone for the help and the nice words

It's good that your wife is a doctor, because after she hears what you say on here, she's gonna deck you ... and you'll need a doctor!

Well then ... there you go! It all looks promising. Once again, Good Luck tomorrow.

Oh ... and if you've still to meet-up with *Scott & Ligaya, kindly pass on my good wishes. As regards the *shared curry you mentioned on another thread ... ... I imagine it'll be YOUR treat, if everything goes according to plan (which it WILL, I'm sure) jobwise. After all you've had good experience *with working abroad, and all. *Not bad for a 27-year-old!

[Arthur Little]

... *it used to be a lot easier than this ... but thanks to the crunch, and it's very difficult now

I'll grant you *THAT! Now then, Mister 'ubbard ... [as they'd say in Yorkshire] ... when I were t'age you are, there was nowt stoppin' a young un wi' bit o'ambition! Alas, times 'ave changed:

Apart from the "crunch", the past four decades have witnessed hitherto almost unbelievable advances in technology ... thereby doing away with jobs previously carried out by skilled/semi-skilled - and, particularly, unskilled labour. Lump this together with the various *incentives offered by successive governments - *actively encouraging an upsurge in the number of married women returning to the workplace ... immediately following statutory maternity leave - and it can be easily seen WHY there are far fewer opportunities available.
