Hi Guys,
a guy i know got a reply just yesterday from the British Embassy in Manila when he asked what is the latest about waiting for settlement visas.I have posted the reply.
[COLOR=blue]Thank you for your email.
She may apply for a wife visa after your wedding.
[B]Effective 05 September, all visa applications are now qualified to use our courier service. All applications will all first be assessed on paper and if an interview is needed the Visa Call Centre representative will advise the applicant shortly. The initial assessment process may more or less take around 4 working days upon receipt at the embassy. If the application is approved, the whole process may take around 7 -10 working days.
I hope this clarifies your enquiry.
Yours faithfully,
Pamela Maria Gauna

Was wanting to know what difference this makes in the time it takes for the whole visa process for the settlement visa.They give the impression it is not long but after reading through this website i doubt it but was looking your views on this.Sorry if you have answered this somewhere else on this website..
Thanks,
john
