Leaving the Philippines as a Spouse/Fiancee

[sheldon1]

My wife got a certificate (cfo) when she came to UK as a visitor last year. When she applies for spouse does she have to do the whole thing again?

I would have thought so, as it's a different visa.

They don't need much of an excuse to get more money out of you.

Hi guys.

Hmm, Rose doesn't have this sticker in her passport. Previously she left the country many times for work in Dubai, but obviously each time had the appropriate exit documents from her employer/Dubai consulate. The Dubai work visa is now cancelled and she came to the UK on a Fiancée Visa directly from Dubai in June. We will be returning to the Philippines in 2 weeks time for a visit to her family. We are not marrying until next month, at which time she will apply for FLR(M).

What do you think they will see her status as when leaving Manilla? She obviously can carry evidence of travel TO Manilla from London, and of her life in the UK from June to September as my Fiancée etc. I will be with her too.

Thanks.
