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!!!

Yay! glaswegian has the strongest accent eh

Oh i've heard quite few people here who had denied once in trying to get tourist visa but after marriage they applied again and got their spouse visa no problem.

What was the reason why u got denied?

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....

They'll usually look to your new application and as long you provide a very good evidences of your genuine relationship, financial, accomodation etc. you'll be fine....

Our marriage should be 22 jan 2008 and then she will go through the same process for visa to scotland !

[allyn]

im from sta. rosa, i know san pedro its just near and i went to college on that place....(San Pedro College of Business Administration)

i have one more question:

Are they asking if i got married before i married my present husband?

Welcome to the forum

[bigtombowski]

heh?

[joebloggs]

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

[allyn]

hi every one!!!
its us again,,,
i went this morning to the extention office of the british embassy in makati,,,
for a walk in interview and to pass my requirement...

i have applied before for a visa to uk in hongkong and it just took 1 day to know the result...

when i get to the embassy here ,im so confuse because they just sorted out my papers and do the biometric....and then they ask me to go out,,,without explaining whats going to happen next....so i ask the security guard,,,and he said i have to wait for 2 to 4 week for a package from them....

is there some one there who can tell whats going to happen next? after they got my paper,,is it really after 2 to 4 week before i got reply from them?
is that reply for an interview or for a visa already?

another thing bothering me is, my husband only sent me a 1month statement of account because he just recently came back in his country,,,is it going to be a problem? the woman who sorted ask me wheres the other statement and i told her the reason,,and after that she didnt say anything,,,i ask her if its going to be a problem but she didnt say anything...she just keep on sorting my papers....

well more sleepless night for me....

i hope someone out there can give me some advice or answer to those question bothering me...\
thanks in advance

[LadyJ]

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.

[allyn]

thanks ladyj,,,,
can i just submit additional letter or documents when i have a responce to come for an interview?
thaks again...

[LadyJ]

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

[mikayla625]

Hi. Forget about going to Glasglow on a visitor's visa coz you'll always be denied. They're very suspicious that you'll stay there and won't come back anymore. Even if you show that your partner will pay for everything they're very suspicious of everything.

Regarding visa wife. If you're in the Philippines go to the UK embassy in Manila to apply for spouse visa. When they give you an appointment for interview make sure that you bring some photos of you together, loveletter, your marriage contract etc.

It's easy. Email me if you have anymore questions...
