Hi all,
Its been a while since I was on as have only just returned from extended vacation in the beautiful (and very hot) Phils
Whilst there my fiancee and I went to UKVACS to apply for a fiancee visa.
As she had recently already been issued a tourist visa in September (for 1 month) and returned home on time, we only took additional up to date docs with us rather than everything that had already submitted (which were obviously deemed ok) and asked them to reference our previous application.
Well after being told to wait outside the offices in the waiting area (holding pen) I was called in as they were giving my girl some grief.
It turns out that they cannot be 100% sure that our friends at the Embassy will reference a previous (successful) application.
Contempt?, utter disbelief?, filing systems???, cue 5 minutes of arguing with them and the frankly shambolic service they supposedly offer.
But after counting to 100 and to be safe I took everything back and told my girl that we should provide everything again just so that they have no reason to refuse
So this just to let people know that even if you've had a successful tourist app in the past everything you submitted is as good a worthless when it comes to applying again so make sure she has multiple copies of everything or you will have to collate everything again
Just wondered if anyone else has come across this b4???
Anyway now we will give them everything plus the kitchen sink and taps too and lets hope they drown under the paperwork
If only she was romanian
