Hi everyone! I'm peter. I'm new here in the forum. I'm engaged to a filipina. I'm planing to get her so that we can get married here in the uk. We stumbled across two problems and we really need your help and advice.

Peter ...

1st problem= i have applied for a loan, will it be bad for our fiance visa application? The loan is amounting 2,000pounds and the repayments is 107pounds a month. I have two full time job earning an average 450 - 490pounds a month with my two jobs.
I don't have other expenses apart from our food when my fiance is here with us.
2nd problem= i'm living with my mum at the moment. However she is claiming housing benefits . I am wondering will this also affect our fiance application as my mother is claiming a housing benefits?
But when she's allowed to work here in uk, she has a offer job where i work. My boss gave me a letter stating that she has a interview in the company when she's allowed to work.
I hope you can help me with my problem. I really want to get my fiance as soon as possible. Thanks in advance.

There's no doubt that things ARE getting that bit tougher for people wishing to *bring their non~European partners here - due to the expectation that the Government will impose minimum income thresholds for *this purpose in April.

Having said that, the Government is equally prepared to recognise initiative. You're a young man who's clearly determined to "stand on your own two feet" ... one of your employers is evidently sufficiently satisfied with your standard of workmanship to the extent of being willing to offer your future wife a job interview whenever she becomes eligible ... you've applied for a housing loan - on which your mother's financial position need have no bearing - since, when the time comes, you will be the sponsor on behalf of your fiancee ...

... all points in your favour !!!
