Hi all

[Terpe]

I can't see any problems as she has an audit paper trail via the marriage certificate.

However, I prefer that someone who has first had experience of exiting Philippines that way will make some comment.
Sorry

Thank you Terpe
We've already booked the ticket and should be here on the 4th June touch wood all being well and good.

Louis & Olivia

WooHoo

Louis, do some searches here for threads about what documents to bring in hand-luggage.
Also did you pay for the ticket with your Debit/Credit card? then it would be an idea to phone the carrier to see if they can validate or if Olivia needs to have a photocopy of the card (front and back) as validation at check-in.

Probably some other stuff too.

Hi Terpe
Sorry what do you mean by carrier?
Yes I paid for it and I have it confirmed by the travel agents too
What card are you on about Terpe?
Oh by the way they did not send all my original documents back to me
I have phoned, a few times and written many emails and nobody has bothered to reply or answer the phone at the visa office.

From reading other's who have travelled along this road before me, it looks like they too did not have any satisfaction of a reply from the visa office either.
So what are we to do about this?

Thank you
Regards

Hi all

Can anyone help me here?

Olivia has her visa and we booked a flight for her to come here by the 3rd June

Olivia has her visa, her CFO sticker, her passport, her marriage certificate, And her valid ticket here to the UK

What other documents does Olivia need to bring and show to the immigration's officer here in the UK?

Thank you
Regards
Louis & Olivia

The airline

Credit Card/Debit card

Continue to 'bombard' the British Embassy (for the attention of the Ambassador) demanding your treasured and important documents be returned,
You must already know by now just how slow the wheels of Government Agencies grind.
Keep the pressure on. E-mail Theresa May, David Cameron, your MP etc
Keep being a pain until something moves. Involve the media, your local newpaper etc.

Hi Terpe

I have look around on the UKBA sites and I can see no reference that I have to show or make a copy of my payments for Olivia ticket
If you or anyone else on here can point out to me where it says that I must do this?
I mean, if I really have to do this?
I will do it then

This may seem a silly question to ask you
But what business is it anyone else who paid the ticket
Oh by the way, I paid for it with my visa/debit card.
Surely. every one knows that you can not give your card number away to show anyone.
I paid online with my visa/debit care for the visa application appointment

Do you know if anyone else on here had to do this?
Thank you
Regards
Louis & Olivia

Hi Louis. .I feel for you mate. .the Philippines is like the hotel California, 'you can check out any time but you can never leave' another comparison is likened to an open prison. .all milling around earning peanuts, just like in prison. Yes, the Philippine governments have done there people proud, I heap shame upon them. ..anyway, that's my slanted view

Back to the flight ticket. .my wife didn't need copies of my credit card neither did mother in law when she came over in March just gone.

Your good lady wife waiting all that time in the dark and rain without food and water is terrible! ...honestly Louis, it doesn't surprise me. .it's the way of life. .apathy set in years ago. .at least you got your lady out and can now put it all behind you. .June 4 will come soon enough. ..With a bit of luck, summer may have arrived by then

Hi Louis,

I believe it is not a requirement by the UKBA or Airport Custom but by the airline especially if the person who bought the ticket is not flying. Not often they check when purchased by person travelling. It is normally stated on airline's website or emails. In my case last year, below is what was stated in my e-ticket:

For security reasons, the following are required upon check-in or ticket reissuance,
failure to produce these documents may result in denied boarding:
1. Photocopy or actual credit card used for the online purchase(s).
2. Photocopy or original photo ID of the credit card holder.

My husband sent me a scanned copy of the two mentioned documents. I was fully aware to keep it safe and secured. Good thing I had it with me because the lady asked for it when I checked in. And of course, it was returned to me immediately.

Congratulations to you and your wife! Best wishes on your life together here in UK.
