hi trish
welcome to the forum and good luck with your sons visa

[LastViking]

Welcome Trish, I am afraid I don't know the answer to your query although I am sure one of the other members will be able to help. How old is your son?

[KeithD]

Why do you have to wait 4 months for your sons visa? Can't he wait on his own? Why didn't you process it with your own visa? And visa's are at the moment taking about 3 days to process.

[trish25]

thats why i wait my son visa coz his 5yrs old of age and so far as i know it takes 3 months to process but they said imigiration will not let me in again if im staying philippines in 4 months coz my visa will expired next yr of december

[trish25]

thanks mikey to welcome me here

Although there does not seem to be any details of residential requirements before you apply for ILR, after you have ILR and later apply for citizenship it states that you need to :-

• have not spent more than 270 days outside the United Kingdom during the three-year period; and
• have not spend more than 90 days outside the United Kingdom in the last 12 months of the three-year period

You will be allowed back into the UK after your visit, but my advice would be to limit the time out of the UK to a minimum.

hi rusty thank u so much for the advice..i was so worried when my friend told me that i cant come back anymore here only in the airport coz i over stay in philippines in 4 months and i my visa will expired on december 2011.Thats why i stay there long time so that me and my son will travel together to come here in the uk coz his 5yrs old.but im so thankful coz i get good advice not only doubt advice.


OH IM SO GLAD FOR THAT I CAN STILL HAVE CHANCE TO BACK HERE AFTER MY VISIT COZ IM TOO WORRIED BUT THANK U SO MUCH FOR THIS LINK ALSO

Trish darling, it doesnt take that long to process visa now. you try to answer them all here so they can help you out.

and when you apply for your son's visa, ask about yours. ika nga, when in doubt...ASK. and what better place to ask is if andun ka na din lang sa embassy, they are the authority.

tell them you will poke them if they dont answer you

Trish darling, it doesnt take that long to process visa now.

sorry but i think you will find that the length of time that a visa will take will change back to normal after a while so i wouldnt expect every visa to take 2 days

[ghee101]

well, i'll take the 2 days than the 3 months she said

[bornatbirth]

well, i'll take the 2 days than the 3 months she said

[bornatbirth]

can you not get the family to sort the visa for him (you fill it in and send it to them and they can hand it in) and go and stay for a month and come back with him?

[trish25]

hi born i dont have any family will sort out about the visa of my son only friend of mine who look after and she is busy also she cant sort outthats why me and my husband will going to phil to apply his visa and i wait until he granted but maybe 3 months process.

[bornatbirth]

the visa wont take 3 months maybe if your lucky a lot less, how come you didnt apply for your son when you did

[joebloggs]

i'm a bit

you were granted a 27 month spouse visa in sept 2009, that expires dec 2011 ?

and you went back to the phils to process your childs settlement visa ? when did you go back? and how long have you been in the phils?

[bornatbirth]

i'm a bit

please keep up

she and her hubby will go back and apply for her son and wait and come back with him and she wants to know how long she can stay out of the country whilst on a flr.

[joebloggs]

please keep up

she and her hubby will go back and apply for her son and wait and come back with him and she wants to know how long she can stay out of the country whilst on a flr.

as long as her visa is still valid she shouldn't have a problem coming back to the uk, but if shes been outside the UK a long time (without a good excuse and i dont think waiting for a visa is ) there might be a problem when it comes to appyling for ILR. (also citizenship)

when it comes to applying for ILR, there is no set number of days you need to be in the uk to quailfy for ILR (each case is judged on its own merits), but the UK is suppose to be your home, but if you went for upto 90 days each year you should have a problem,,,

but before you apply for ILR, give the UKBA advice line a call and tell them how many days you've been outside the uk, becuase they might tell you to apply for FLR again becuase you've been out of the UK too long to apply for ILR. but a couple of months each year should be ok

[trish25]

thanks joeblog for the advice but this is my first time to go back in phil to visit since i come here i leave uk if im already 1 yr here and stay in phil for 4 months for a valid reason and somebody told me immigration will not allow me to come back again coz i didtnt follow to rules as my friends said.so im worried if they not allow me to come here even my visa still valid

[trish25]

before my visa takes 15days and i found out i was granted last september and im hoping only 3 months my son visa granted

[Arthur Little]
