I just received my family visit visa last week for this reasons.
1. I present my certificate of employment and no payslip,or tax documents, this was last 2011 files.
2. they are not convinced that i will have my vacation in UK 8 months before my wedding..
first of all,My Certificate o Employment do not says that I am regular employed, because the status of my job is contractual, here in the Philippines, workers who are contractual is tax exempted. and no need to file for tax etc. and this was last year, and I lost my payslip already...WHAT WILL I DO?, DO I HAVE TO REQUEST ANOTHER LATER FROM MY EMPLOYER STATING ABOUT MY JOB STATUS?IT IS CONVINCING? AND IS THIS LETTER FRM MY EMPLOYER CAN STAND ALONE FOR THE ANSWER TO THEIR DOUBTS?
2. Two months preparation for the wedding here in the Philippiness is very much OK, and we are not planning to have a BIG event for our wedding, it's only exclusive for the family, so it's not as big as they are thinking. And during our waiting for the result me and my fiancee was planning to move or wedding this coming August 2013, because we are expecting our application might be approve. and if there is changes it's not rush for us. WHAT WILL I DO TO CONVICE THEM THAT I AM TELLING THE TRUTH BECAUSE THIS IS REALLY THE TRUTH?
We are planning to appeal as soon as we can gather documents that can convince them that I will just visit my sister there and come back before 6 moths. Once and for all my sister is inviting me to visit her in Uk, this is her gift for me before I will settle down next year,and I will grab this once in a lifetime experience For I;m pretty sure, If I married already my husband will not allow me to have vacation because we are not getting any younger and afraid not to have a baby because I am already 32 next year..please do help please. Anyone who has experienced like this and who has idea how to gather and what to gather as evidence during the hearing.
Thank you all and more power
