    when i applied my spouse visa ... i'll do it with just the help of my husband and this forum when they denied it for an invalid reason ...

    my husband and i passed all the documents that we have ..


    - 11 payslips
    - p60
    - bank statements
    - landlord letter ( from his brother )
    - our pictures
    - marriage certificate
    - husband passport copy
    - my birth certificate
    - english exams result
    - letter from his employer
    - employment contract


    we didnt go to agency or solicitor , so if u think u have all the requirements they need and u think ur financial requirements is alright then no need to worried about .

    they seem to only care about financial because u are not allowed to get public funds

    DLA just means he is exempt from the wage limits, which actually makes the process a little easier so don't worry. They won't refuse it for that.

    if u provide this requirement .. then i think they wouldnt refuse ur application.

    (a) Official documentation fr
    om the Department for Work
    and Pensions confirming the
    entitlement and the amount received.
    (b) At least one personal bank statement in
    the 12-month period prio
    r to the date of
    application, showing payment
    of the benefit or allowance
    into the person's account.

    thanks for all your opinion,I already file my visa 1month ago
    and yes i provide all that requirements,
    but why that agency told to me even you provide all that papers your visa will refuse they said,
    they also told to me that i dont have any fear to do that by my own
    they told to me i waste my money also
    thats why i feel so worried after they told to me that.

    All agencies exist to rip you off, no other reason. All they do is fill the form out for you and charge a lot for doing that. It is easy doing a visa application yourself, and those that follow the free advice here seldom fail. Don't worry, if it is refused they tell you why, you correct it, and ask the application to be looked at again. Simple.

    I agree.

    Obviously an agency will be touting for business...in this case, using scare tactics.

    Hardly the sort of people you'd want to deal with anyway.

    try not to worry.

    Godspeed with your application.

    Hi Joanet just read your post, to be honest all the details and info's you wanna know about your application are all here. Was once considered using an agency but this forum been encouraging me not to coz of the reason that I said at the beginning and it's true and instead of using the money for agency we'll just use it in our wedding. U'll be fine, as what MissAna told me, we the genuine applicants has nothing to worry about
    Love is the sweetest disease ever!!!

    Probably similar agency that took 40,000PHP from my wife and despite us providing everything they asked for , she was still refused.
    Don't worry about what they say, your application has been submitted now so keep praying for a positive outcome.
    We all wish you well

    was tempted to ask help on an agency for my fiancee visa but then luckily we found this forum. and besides what an agency do is just merely moral support

    good luck on your application. don't forget to pray. that's what i did to take off the anxiety that i felt while waiting for the decision. god bless

    please do not use a agency, there is no need they can only do what you can do,you have to have your papers in order,get your husband to write a covering letter give them as much back ground info as possible,I know its very strict now,as for your husband being on DLA lucking him,lol,anyway they can not discriminate him for being on that,get your husband to go see his MP, asap get a covering letter from his MP, to say he is a genuine man and your marriage is true,dont be in a rush to get a visa take your time get all the papers right, BUT GET YOUR HUSBAND TO SEE HIS MP,THIS WILL HELP YOU A GREAT DEAL. I have helped a few people get there wives here in england with no problem.

    Sorry to disagree stevecebu, an MP cannot do anything about a workaround to the immigration rules. Period.

    Number 1 to follow is that each application MUST be fully compliant with the strictly defined requirements. The ECO's and caseworker have NO discretion at all.

    BTW there is no discrimination against folk on benefits such as DLA. They qualify for exemption against the Financial Requirement
    and only need to prove 'adequate maintenance'.

    I do agree that under normal circumstances it's not necessary to use an agent.

    Andy, I think you know how to get that by now, and from what you've shared you're well on track.
    When the time comes everyone here will help dot all the 'i's ' and cross all those 't's'
