We submitted our spouse application on 7/06/2011 and already the tracking facility says the passport is ready for collection at VFS as of today. Does this lean more to a refusal i wonder. I was in the philippines for a year on unpaid leave recently so didn't show wage slips, but I did show letters from my employer and substantial savings, and a letter showing I had returned to work from employer this month. gotta say im all of a shaking. I ll let you know but i fear its far too quick for a positive.
