Hi all

hi louis

reading through your posts above--this is my own opinion on this:-

you are now married--fact
you are on a qualifying benefit which means you dont need to meet the £18600 income penalty
you are about to spend £870 odd on a visa application.
you seem unsure about the application process??

if it were me in your shoes---i would be talking to an immigration expert--but find out their fee first. i wouldnt want anything to go wrong now---youve come so far.
but thats just my own opinion. no doubt others will shoot me down in flames.

Hi Terpe
Thank you for your comment and good advice too

What you say could be true, but we have search high and low and we cannot find a decent immigration expert that we could trust in the area where Olivia lives . They just seems to be only interested in getting our money off us...

Anyway we are going to have begin to fill it in ourselves now and if we mess it up, we have only ourselves to blame.

We have already starred on the 1st part of our visa application form. PERSONAL DETAILS FORM (VAF4A AUGUST 2012)
FAMILY SETTLEMENT APPLICATION FORM
We found the online version of this one above.

By the way Terpe, could you please show me the web page link of the online
APPENDIX 2 (VAF 4A NOVEMBER 2012)
FINANCIAL REQUIREMENT FORM
This one here above is only for a printout application form. We are having a problem trying to find this,It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Time is running out fast and we have to move on with this and try to get Olivia home here for Xmas.

Thank you very much

Regards...Louis & Olivia

Of course, you are right about that lol..
But it is the only way to learn, just do it and hope for the best

And speaking about experts. I am sure that many of the members on here had at some time had soom good expert advice that they paid for. Could you please give me the names and contacts of these experts?

Thank you with warm regards...Louis & Olivia.

Hi all

Olivia was just about to go to the Brit Embassy on Wednesday 5th Dec in Manila

Olivia's English Test Certificate is no longer valid with the visa application. They stopped supporting EMD some months ago and we only just found this out today from EMD head office.Charming isn't it, not.

So now we have to find another English test centre in the Philippines and I can tell you that they are very far and few between them.

All I can say to this..Thank heavens we found out in time, because it would have cost us a lot of money for nought.

Oh yes EMD said sorry to us. but I ask them if they would they give us our money back that we paid for our test?
Suddenly the line went dead...

Anyway..we brush ourselves down and get back into the fight again

It seems that there is an English test centre in Davao, which is not too far from Digos City

Where there is a will there is a way.

We hope we can get a place there soon?

Regards
from us both, keep up the good work with helping, thanking you all
