[stevie c]

hi there my soon wife to be is going to apply for her spouse application after our wedding & when she receives our marriage contract back from the NSO we have all our documents almost complete one thing i would like some advice on is this i have 6 months employment payslips i have 6 months bank statements i have never ever been overdrawn in my life should i submit 6 months of credit card statements also showing i have never ever missed any monthly repayments or is this not a good idea to submit credit card statements your views woul be much appreciated

[stevewool]

hi stevie c , seems you have alll you need i would not send credit card statements , you have bank statements and wage slips too if this is all they are asking then thats all you need to send sometimes to much imformation is dangerous

[stevie c]

thank you stevewool your advice is very much appreciated

[stevewool]

just think what you have already and if you are happy with all you have and its all the truth then send it , me and emma was worring about 1 form a copy it was , but deep down i new i had done my best with what i had sent , trust your mind and your heart stevie c

[stevie c]

thanks stevewool i have all the required documents so when i married in the phils in september as soon as the marriage certificate is returned from the NSO florsel will apply for her spouse visa . Can i ask how many photos of you & emma you put in with your application

[stevewool]

loads we had a holiday last xmas together that was our first meeting so lots of pictures about 70 but i just sent a A4 with about 16 on each but not the best quailty paper think of weight and cost there stevie c , its just prof that you are together, we also included me with emmas family too

[stevie c]

thanks stevewool when i get married there in september i shall be taking all my docs with me & we plant to submit florsels application then so we will put original photos in with her application & also our wedding photos steve wool i will give you a rundown on our evidence pls tell me if you think this is enough i rent my house from my sister so i enclose a solicitor ceretified copy of thee deeds of my sisters house from the land registry, RENT BOOK, HOUSEHOLD BILLS RECEIPTS SHOWING IM THE ACCOUNT HOLDER , BANK STATEMENTS, PAYSLIPS, LEETERS ME & FLOR SEND TO EACH OTHER, YAHOO TRANSCRIPTS, MY MOBILE PHONE CALLS RECORD TO THE PHILS, INTERNATIONAL CALLING CARDS, WEDDING PHOTOS, ME & FLORSELS PHOTOS TOGETHER WITH HER FAMILY ALSO, OUR MARRIGE LISCENSE, OUR MARRIAGE CONTRACT, WESTERN UNION RECEIPTS, MY BANK TRANSFER RECEIPTS GOING IN TO FLORSELS ACCOUNT, PHOTOS OF MY HOUSE INSIDE & OUT, SOME FLIGHT DETAILS & STUBS TO THE PHILS BUT NOT ALL, HOTEL MRECEIPTS BUT NOT ALL,

[bornatbirth]

looks like you have everything , now just tie it together in your support letter, remember to be clear and precise and stick to the details backed up by that evidence

[stevie c]

Thank you bornatbirth i have 15k in my savings account do you think this is enough to satisfy the ECO & my bank statements show that i have never been overdrawn

[bornatbirth]

are you getting nervous

i think you have more than enough, just give statements of any saving but forget the credit card ones and just show in your 6 months bank statements that you have a healthy bank account for them, i also rent and had far less money, so stop worrying

[stevewool]

sounds all good to me , i also included a letter from my boss at my works about me and my service to the company , also like bornatbirth says a supporting letter too saying what florsels mean to you and how much you love here and want to provide for her sounds silly even though you are marrying her but it all helps

[stevie c]

A big thanks to you both i feel alot more at bease now stevewool did you submit any greeting cards ie xmas birthdays as i have these from florsel but at the time i didnt think it nesacerry to keep the envolopes with the postage marks silly me only kept the cards would this be a problem yeah i have to admit im very nervous because last november florsel applied for a visit visa to stay with me to sample the ways of life here but was refused due to the eco not conviced she would teturn to the phils will this have any outcome in her application

[stevewool]

you have enough already stevie c, they say the hardest visa is a tourist and it looks like that is so true, i class myself as very lucky finding emma after being burnt and then applying for our visa and that happening for us , you always think have you done enough but you have , you have something i would have loved to be doing , that is marrying your florsel there , just make sure all is right dates and times then send it , who are you using to get it all there

[sars_notd_virus]

i have 15k in my savings account do you think this is enough to satisfy the ECO & my bank statements show that i have never been overdrawn

thats nice,as long as u can show regular/verifiable income as well

[stevie c]

stevewool i will be taking all my documents & evidence with me in september so that will save all the expense & hassle of getting it there also i can rest in peace it has arrived there safely it make sense to do take with me as we will be getting married in september then once we have submitted florsels application all the worrying starts again lol

[stevie c]

sars_notd_virus im i right in saying you mean what income i have coming in well i have regular monthly payslips & i also have a standing order transferring £200 per month from my current account into my savings account is this what you mean

[Arthur Little]

i can *rest in peace

Stevie ... it's your forthcoming WEDDING we're talking about here ... not a *FUNERAL!

[stevewool]

its your savings and income its knowing that once here your florsel will not be a burden to the tax payer , in other words and plain english you pay for everything , i have 3 accounts isa and so on its not lots but its ok less then you have stevie c stop worrying

[stevewool]

[sars_notd_virus]

sars_notd_virus im i right in saying you mean what income i have coming in well i have regular monthly payslips & i also have a standing order transferring £200 per month from my current account into my savings account is this what you mean

[stevie c]

yes your right arthur mayb im worrying too much we just couldnt cope with another refusal thats all talking to people on this site makes it so much easier & reassurring

[Arthur Little]

yes your right arthur mayb im worrying too much we just couldnt cope with another refusal thats all talking to people on this site makes it so much easier & reassurring

I know exactly how you feel, mate. And yes, it really DOES help, being able to communicate with so many others who've experienced exactly what you're going through now. But please be reassured, everything WILL work out fine for you and Florsel ... as it did for MY [now] wife, Myrna & I (who were, like you plan to be) married in the Phils.

[stevie c]

thank you arthur i value you advice very much but im sure i will have many questions to ask before me & florsel submit her application

[stevewool]

indeed you will stevie c
