Appointment tues! finally we are applying spouse visa

[alesypalsy]

Ok we finaly took the leap, have applied online and the wifes got the appointment tuesday, so we got , 6 months bank statements with substantial savings, a job offer but i am down as unemployed as i live in philippines for 4 years with missis, tenancy agreement for a house in uk with pictures , copy of land title in philippines, copy of deed of sale of our last house here, many copies of pictures of us together, lots of bills ie telephone cabole etc to us in philippines, copies of my residancy card for the philippnes, plus numerous other stuff to show we been here together and a advert of our house thats for sale here in the philippines, I am hoping its enough to get her the visa.

We applied then canceled the appointment then got a managers cheque, then made appoinment again, was going crazy as weather to apply or not but decided to take the chance, We also have our son who has a british and filipino passport so hopefully it will go in our favour, if not a appeal for sure with human right business involved.

anyway i just hoping all goes well and we are back in sunny uk for a very nice cold christmas!!!!!!!!
Thanks to all on this site you really do make a good differance, without your help especially joe bloggs! we would not have had a hope! thanks all

She submitted papers on Friday (or was it thursday), was processed already by the next wednesday. so we're looking at 3 working days or so.

It took longer waiting for the passport to arrive back than it did to actually have everything processed.

Yours ... like mine, should be easy, because of your situation.

Although, your savings would need to be pretty darn high if you're unemployed

BLIMEY JAMES!!!!! thats great stuff, super fast, well done mate! I have asked that should they issue the visa to put it to start from in 3 months time , so to give us a little time to sell the house in the pines!

that is fast mate! very good stuff, lets hope they can do a job on mine!

[liane]

Good luck on your application

hope so mate, but also bear in mind, this is peak season, so it could get longer ... eg, marlyn on this forum was waiting just over 6 weeks

also ...

if you put on the app the date when you wish for your wife to fly, then they'll issue it from that date

yes, mine was very quick, but it may be anomalous!

another point is : we were SUPER organised with the paper work. 3.5 years of planning went into it! lol

[stevie c]

i wish you both the best of luck

One of the staff said the visa processing at the moment is quite fast. Probably takes less than a month.

So its really a 50/50 for us i reakon,, Been in the Philippines 4 and half years now, need a bit of time back in the UK!!!!! Thanks again all

[James Hubbard]

I am of the understanding that your wife will have special priveleges if you have been married together in the Phils for 4 years, but I guess Mr Joe Bloggs would be better to advise you on that kind of thing!

[alesypalsy]

I been here for four years James but we only been married coming up for 2 years in december so i guess no privilages for us lol

Yes cheers james but I not going to be able to read any info now as i am off to bed shortly, we leaving for manila at 6.30am, Seeing as i am not allowed in the building i thought it only right that i should attend as morale support and wait in the nearest bar where i shall try not to drink too much alcohol with worrie to calm my nerves If it takes too long who knows what condition i may end up in
