This is my way of saying THANK YOU to the Forum who has been there with me all through out the ups and down process of my Fiancee Visa and to the people behind this. I hope this will help the new applicants to satisfy the ECO/ECM for the success of the app.

* I used IELTS for my English Certificate and took the test here in Davao and it took 13 days before I got the result. If you want to know more bout IELTS, PLEASE don't hesitate to ask or send me a message, Ill answer your queries as much as I can.

* I have duplicated/photocopied all documents except for the photos. I also separate the original docus to the xerox ones before going to VFS to lodge my application.

* Bring an ID with you when you enter the building aside from your passport for you to have a pass to VFS.

* If you are confused on some parts and questions on the app form then better to ASK FIRST to make sure cos we had a very bad experience on that! hahahahahaha. If you're unsure then ask before putting an answer or ticking a box.

Hope this helps! Will edit this post for any changes and for more additional information. Good luck to your application, FOLKS!!

KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON!!

ALL THE BEST FROM ME!

I just want to ask on Fiance docs what is "P60"?

See the link. We didnt submit a P60 for 2 reasons.

1] Any P60 I have ever had has been issued in April or thereabouts. And our application was in early september.

2] My payslips had a lot of the detail that you get off the P60 like tax paid and salary paid.

Well I think it depends on the staff who will entertain you. The lady who faced us didn't even review the application form we submitted which ends up me being refused at the first place! Good thing our headmasters here in the forum suggested us to send a letter to the ECM and we get granted in the end.

As what I have promised I will share the information that we used to achieve my visa. The forum has been a very big help from my visit visa to now so I am just returning the favour by sharing my experiences. Paul said very welcome, it is from his heart and his way of saying Thank You.
