After all the hurdles and waiting finally my spouse visa was granted.
I lodged my application December 9, 2011. After 7 weeks or so i received an email on January 31, 2012 from UKBA-Manila Visa Hub saying “your visa will be dispatched shortly”. Then, after 4 days all my original documents were returned to me and my passport with UK Entry Clearance stamp.
Me and my husband was kinda worried because for a long time we never heard from them after the last email that our application was "on process". I guess it had to do with the peak season and back logs.
We would like to thank the people in this forum for helping us sort out our visa application. Without your help guys we wouldn’t have gotten our visa.
I will try to post soon how I build our settlement visa.
Goodluck to others and don’t worry so much as long as you submit whats in the checklist. And keep reading, searching and posting here am sure all your queries and worries will be answered
