    Sir Joebloggs, I'll definitely consider that option if she's refused this time. I'll keep my faith.

    there probably is another way, but probably not pratical, but you never know, it might be possible

    when your a british citizen, go back and live with your mom for a year, then go and live and work in southern ireland or any other Non British EU country, , after a few months apply for a family permit for your mom, it could be really difficult for them to refuse, then stay there for a few months, then head back north and apply for a family permit for your mom to join you..

    Sir Joebloggs, you're giving me a brilliant idea...just in case she's refused. At least I don't have to pay for a family permit gor her. But, do I have to go home to Philippines & stay there for a year? Coz if I can do without I'll just get work in Dublin, anyway I have Nursing Registration in Ireland. Uhm...do I need to rent a house there? I'm only two hours drive from Dublin. Maybe I could just ask one of my friends there if I could use their address in Dublin for my correspondence.
    I'll keep this in mind, Sir Joebloggs. I'm sure it'll be of help if ever. Many thanks!

    My mum hasn't travelled anywhere yet because she sacrificed her entire life rearing me & my sister. We didn't grow up to
    be rich like anyone else. She saved all the money she had for our education until we both finished Uni.
    Honestly, I am going to be very disappointed if visa is not granted, as there's no other way I can get her here. I just want to see her more often, and bring her on our holidays. That's the least I can do for her.
    I so far, no word yet from the Embassy.
    Hi Aingeall - We both have something in common with our strong family values and appreciation of our parent(s). Sadly, I have now lost both of mine but there is absolutely nothing that I wouldn’t have done for either whilst they were still alive; I was always and still am very appreciative of everything they gave and taught me. Unfortunately, this sentiment is not echoed by everyone in the world for reasons known unto them but I am glad that I am not one of them.

    Great Mums and Dads are special people and should be treated as such. You are clearly a giver which is a lovely characteristic to have and no doubt one learnt from your Mum. I am sure your Mum appreciates everything that you are trying to do for her too. Fingers crossed that the application will be successful soon!

    Just an update on my Mum's Visa Application.
    This is the email I received from FCO (Is this British Embassy Manila?)

    "Your VISA will be despatched shortly. Passports can normally be collected from the Visa Application Centre after 3 days. Applicants in Australia and New Zealand should allow 3 days before tracking their documents via the local post. UKBA-Manila Visa Hub


    This is an automated message. Please do not respond to this email address as incoming mail is not answered."

    *****************************************************************

    Does this really mean a VISA has been given to her? I have mixed emotions, as when I checked VFS site & tracked her application, it hasn't been updated yet. Is there a possibility it might be a refusal letter?

    Aingeall,
    I don't want to raise your hopes too high, as I can't be 100% sure, but..... if it really does state:-
    "Your visa will be despatched shortly............."

    Then in my mind it's 99% sure to be a VISA that is on it's way

    Don't you agree?

    Thanks for an uplifting remark Terpe! I too am hoping it is a visa granted. I don't want to get too excited until my mum confirms the same.
    I checked the Tracking System of VFS Manila today. Thankfully the message has been updated. It says "Your documents are ready for collection." No mention about a visa.

    We got the same message, visa delivered this morning, I know exactly how you feel!!!

    The VFS tracking doesnt give much detail even after approval - but I'd stop worrying if I were you

    You're right, it doesn't give much away ... but at least the word "visa" IS mentioned - which is a vast improvement on how the old-standard message read when my wife applied for her spousal visa in 2009!

    Thank you so much everyone!!! My mum was very emotional & tearful when she got her passport. God is really good.
    I didn't know she has to go to CFO for stamping, only the agency advised her to go there today.
    She'll be flying on tuesday 26/07/11 on her own. I hope she'll manage, as I'll only see her when she arrives here in Belfast.
    Again, thanks to this forum, especially to Sir joebloggs, Rosie1958, Terpe, Arthur Little & jimbo 23232.

    Aingeall, if you're at all worried about your mum you could always contact the airline for help and assistance. Usually they will be very helpful indeed and with no extra cost.
    This can be helpful with transit and plane changes etc.
    Sometimes an airline might try to secure payment, but normally it's quite low cost.

    Food for thought anyway.

    Thanks Terpe! I tried to call the airline company, but the office is already closed in Manila. I'll try it again on Monday before she leaves for the airport, as her flight is Tuesday midnight. I actually emailed a letter in attention of the airline reception desk, which my mum will give when she checks-in explaining that my mum will be travelling alone for the first time, and that she would require assistance with her connecting flight to London Heathrow. I also stated in my letter that her hold luggage will be checked through to Belfast, so that my mum doesn't need to collect it in London Heathrow airport. I hope they'll give consideration to my mum, as I'm worried if she might miss her connecting flight. If only I have enough money to get home & travel with her...that I'll do.
    I even have to choose the airline she has to travel with which specifically lands in Terminal 1 of LHR, as the flight to Belfast which is BMI is also on same terminal building & she doesn't have to get the airport bus just to get to the connecting flight. It's not cost effective, but it'll be easier for her, as time frame between two flights is on 2hrs.
    I appreciate your advise...hope everything will go smoothly.

    Sir joebloggs, I actually doubt she'll be here during the winter season.
    She said she'll stay in Malaga where her cousin who is a retired citizen is during winter time & be back here in Spring.
