Hi Andrew
Sounds like you have most of the boxes ticked you have met, you have a geniune relationship with loads of pictures together in different locations.
You have a place to live which the ECO if you show your in constant contact with your Mahal meant although you could not visit as much as you like phill you are doing all the right thingsMany people in your situation with the recession..
In the time your saving dont forget to visit here and read as much as you can we are a lot cheaper than a lawyer but living examples than it can be done![]()
Oh lord why did you make so many clothes and shoe shops
that's, but the more visits he does. the greater his chances of her getting a fiancée visa, and like i said 1yr is a long time without seeing g/f, who you intend to marry within 6 months
you can save £500 a month ? well if that's so, do a simple budget showing you're incomings and out going and showing you have £500 a month spare. ( thou maybe you could use your credit card or borrow from friends to help you try and keep as much money in your account as possible while you collect your bank statements. but don't over do it, like try and save 90% of your wage each month, the embassy would be suspicious
in fact there is no minimum figure you need to support your fiancée, but a figure of about £100 a week after you've paid rent and community charge as an bear minimum. but the more you have the better![]()
Unfortunatly, i can not save that amount, but i am going to sell 5 days of holiday back to the company. We also receive our bonus in February, which will help me along the way.
, Andrew. Nine months ago, I might have dismissed the notion of applying for a *tourist visa on the basis of the perceived low success rate. However, in more recent times, *such applications from a surprisng number of people on this forum were, in fact, approved. And, frankly, I would've thought Marissa stood a fair chance ... given her unblemished record for returning to the Phils after visiting other countries in the past.
Sadly, it was not to be. But,with my co-forumers that the fiancee route is probably her best bet ... especially as you've since bought your own place, and appear to be well-settled in terms of providing accommodation for when she eventually DOES come across here.
I would suggest, therefore, that you start the ball rolling by following their advice as regards the separate requirements. Good Luck!![]()
Thank you all for your advice.
This is what i am planning now. I am going to visit Marissa in March/April for 2 and half weeks.
I am going to transfer 3k from an interest free credit card into my bank account.
We will then aim to appy for the Fiancee Visa in July/August, after having had 3k+ in my bank account fior 6 months +.
Do they check your credit rating? Can they tell if you are borrowing the 3K?
Is this a good route to take?
Thanks
Andrew
