    Hi Allyn welcome to the forum! You can use the search in this forum and you will find a lot of information on how to get a spouse visa. Goodluck for both of you. Be sure to read them all and also take a look at the UKVisas website, I have made a mistake with my application but everything is all sorted out, I was just too excited hehehe (love makes you confuse sometimes). Provide all the requirements they needed and you will be fine!!!

    Dear Allyn,
    Nice to here you are from Laguna. Same here . Forget about your visit visa applied before. You can get your spouse visa as long as you have your complete requirements. Please read Byang's post or click this : http://filipinaroses.com/showthread.php?t=1017
    I'll wait you here I have visited Glasgow for few times. Scotland is lovely place. You can send me private message so we can chat thru yahoo.
    GOODLUCK!!! you can make it CHEEP UP !!!

    because they question my economic ties with hongkong and philippines,,,im just a domestic helper (under contract for 2yrs) on that time and even thou tho my husband (my boyfriend on those time) already told them in his letter that he is going to provide me my flight ticket and all the expenses needed when i get there,,,they are not convince that im going back in hongkong or in the philippines or i can support my self when i get there, .....so i got denied....
    when he found out about it he quickly came to hongkong a meet me....

    this is a baldy worded question, and has caught many people out, i think the question means have you been married before , but some people have put yes, when they have only been married once !, it shouldn't make much difference what you put thou, as i'm sure the case workers know from your answers to other questions if you have been married before...


    my wife went to University of Perpetual Help Laguna in Santo Nino, its a small world

    The processing time for settlement is up to 3 months and it depends how good your supporting documents. You will receive either for an interview or your passport with visa.

    1 month of bank statement is not enough, your husband should explain why to his supporting letter.

    I'm sure they will ask you to provide additional documents, so get things ready.. and my answer to your question is Yes.
