Hi guys, I have been a member here for a while but this is my first post..
We recently got married in Mandaue City, Cebu..26th January.. and are dismayed at the spouse visa regulations (like a lot of us are!) I only earn £10,500 before tax so there is no chance of being granted a spouse visa anytime soon..I am looking for another job to boost my salary past the required amount. I will need to work a 12-hour plus day - but that's another story ..

We are wondering if Armelyn would be eligible to come here on a family visit visa to visit me and my family for 6 months?? Does anyone know the requirements for this please? As I said..I plan to boost my salary to the requirement but we cannot be together for at least a year due to the having to be in employment for 6 months rule, so we want to use the family visit visa so she can sample life here in UK and we can be together again.

Please can anyone tell us what we need to have a successful application, as in..what documents we need, how much money we need, who needs to have the money, the accommodation when she is here? It is all so very confusing

Many, many thanks in advance for any advice and help you can offer..

Best Regards,
Neil and Armelyn
