spouse visa

[gary michael]

if your married there is a chance a family visit visa will be refused for your wife because the embassy will not believe she will return to the phils b4 her visa expires, and your applying for the wrong type of visa, your married and she should be applying for a spouse (settlement visa), even if she did get a visa, she could only stay a max of 6 months...

Thanks for the help and links I did not know you paid so much for the visa how nieve I am looks like £750 for the settlement visa and no refund if visa is rejected. My wife and I decided to try the family visit visa because we believed it would be to hard for her to come on the settlement visa and I could not take a chance on her being refused,my biggest concern is our age gaps she is 28 years old and I am 55 years old.I think I will ask her to join this forum so she can see for herself the things involved with the visa aplication,theres this life in the uk test biometrics and a language test sounds so difficult makes me want to pack up my things and move to the Philippines.

I had been told from the phil brit embassy that its better to explain for not providing the original documents other than submitting false document so instead of photocopies itself BUTneeds to pass certified true copies like the passport stamp pages on my husband stating the dates he went in phil and went back to the uk..............i only have his scan pages then printed would this be legal or acceptable?if not where can i get this certified copies done........hmmmmmmmmmm

if your spouse visa is refused you will have a right to an appeal, many appeals are won,,

age shouldn't be a problem, just have lots of evidence your relationship is genuine, some savings? and a job ? then you shouldn't have any problems getting a visa..
