I've never once given it a thought about counting days towards waiting for anything!
Been waiting for 45 working days.. This is so stressful.. So want to go to England and plan for my wedding while it's summer..don't like to have a winter wedding.
It is what it is love, when you arrive here in England, you will feel like wanting to go back to Philippines because of the weather...so I would say, enjoy much of the sun while you are there and with your family, because when you arrive here, it's gonna be different and you will be miles miles miles away from them not unless if you can afford to go back there in every 3 months or less. Stop stressing yourself with the waiting stage of the visa, instead, enjoy Philippines while you are still there,,,besides you will be staying here more than you will stay there anyway, right?
It funny because my wife loves the UK weather, with the changing seasons and all that she actually come back from the Phils after a 6 week vacation and was so glad to come home as the heat, humidity and congestion was making her feel rather ill out there.
I suppose she has really settled now after 18 months here which I am glad as she went through the home sickness phase ect also she gets to see her family back in the Phils for quite a long vacation every year and I know she's never been happier than she is now.
Anyway to all the guys on this thread I along with many of the other forum members will keep my fingers crossed for a very positive outcome and hope you all receive the golden visa soon and a forthcoming life here in the beautiful UK.....
I am actually more acclimatised here now than in the Philippines marksroomspain. I actually developed some facial rashes when I was there a month ago and I don't like getting too much sun on my skin as well. I love the 4 climatic seasons here in the UK, and every bit of the UK, it's just that I don't have my family here...I mean my immediate family. It would be an icing on a cake if I have them all here with me.
Weather in the UK for me.

You'll adapt to the weather in time, how many times have you returned to Philippines Rayna?Weather in the UK for me
I know how you feel aprilmaejon sometimes I feel sorry for my wife with her been so far apart from her loved ones thats why I always give her support and time to go back when she wants also she speaks almost on a daily basis to them.
In the future my plans are to move permantly to Spain hence my name sake on here I have a lot of ties with that country and find it so beautiful.
Also I have told my wife if her parents would like to relocate there in the future the option is always open and a lot easier for them to achieve that.
Links between Spain and the Philippines means that they can become Spanish citizens after 2 years living there and not the notorious and virtually impossible move to the UK following rule changes.....
I've been here 2 yrs and 6 months and still don't like the weather. I've adapted to it already but still don't like the fact that it's colder than it's warmer. I would always prefer tropical weather than cold and very windy that the UK has. I've been to the Philippines just once since I got here.

Don't get me wrong, I do like the weather in the UK, I was there during summer and winter. I don't like my wedding to be in winter is that, my wedding will be by the bay, and travel wise it gets really icy on the road don't want to be stranded. It will be a bit of drive from church to the hotel. That is just my concern. In fact I do love weather in UK than in Phil.
After you've lived here 10 years or more then go to Philippines, that's when you will find it too hot, dusty and noisy among many other things and you'll want to come back here. I'm saying this because of the hundred of British Filipina that have lived here 10 years or more have told me these things, also they all say the air is nice and fresh Here!The cold makes me want to
Lol...weather in the Philippines won't make me choose to go back here than spend more holiday time there..After you've lived here 10 years or more then go to Philippines, that's when you will find it too hot, dusty and noisy among many other things and you'll want to come back here.

Bless you Rayna!

Hahaha...but seriously, I'm used to the weather here now. But getting used to it doesn't mean I like it. I just couldn't be bothered most of the time now coz the weather here will never change. But I will not stop wishing to be in a place where it's always hot/warm and sunny, instead of being here in cold, damp, windy and wet UK.

So my step-kids got their visas (physically) this morning hurrah
However it says on the passport Indefinite leave to enter, whereas my wife who is already here has IL to remain
Does anyone know what the difference is
Thanks in advance
DECK
I don't know about this matter but I guess because the mother is already in Indefinte so as the children as well....maybe that is how it rolls!
Anyway, I'm sure that other expert members here will respond to your question with a definite answer very soon...
Guys? What do you think? Am I right or definitely wrong?
ILR (Indefinite Leave to Remain) and ILE (Indefinite Leave to Enter) are in-principle both allowing the very same visa conditions once the holder arrives to UK, so don't be concerned about that.
The difference is solely 'visa-technical' in that ILR can only be officially issued within UK
whereas
ILE can only be issued outside UK in line with 'standard' Entry Clearance condition such as validity dates and expiry date.
Quite a few people with ILE actually apply for a No Time Limit endorsement (NTL) and this is very clear to employers that a right to work is granted. That ILE will show an expiry date and this can present potential employers with a challenge.
Look here at this link to see how to apply for NTL endorsement.
Be aware there is a yet another hefty charge of £104 for this.
Hope that clarifies the difference for you.
Rayna... I'd been going to say, "if guinea pigs *hibernated
cold winter months then you could've followed the example of yours".
But I've since read they *don't.
You know Rayna, when my generation were kids, the seasons more or less fell into place on a very regular basis and we really used to look forward to the change of seasons especially after a hot long summer. It was the time we used to look forward to Bonfire night, Christmas, playing in the snow then the chocolate Easter Eggs and after that warmer weather and Summer Holidays. It all seems to have gone wrong somehow!Hahaha...but seriously, I'm used to the weather here now. But getting used to it doesn't mean I like it. I just couldn't be bothered most of the time now coz the weather here will never change. But I will not stop wishing to be in a place where it's always hot/warm and sunny, instead of being here in cold, damp, windy and wet UK.
Hello jasper! Any news? Did you wife get a result already ? Me still nothing ... Till nextweek again :(
Hi there sweetlove.. I thought they already replied to you its been a week since they called you. Good luck though till next week again eh
Hi Sweetlove,
Sorry, no news here as well!
Another week to wait.
Our thread got hijacked by the weather girls haha
If they don't issue the visa, my fiancée needs her passport back so that we can go to Thailand or Singapore on holiday!
So I would like to have some decision sooner rather than later.
Not too unreasonable based on how much time they have had and how much the visa process service costs.
Hi Jentobeharrison! Thanks for the tip on how to track status of my visa application. Would you happen to have a page link to where we can find out how to contact them? Thank you in advance!The reason why you aren't getting any SMS updates from UKVI it is because your application is still on queue which is the same as my situation. In order for you to track it, go to UKVI website and there will be an option there in what way you can contact them, you have to fill out and give some info then you can enquire what you want to know. In tracking, you just have to say that you want to know the status of your application by giving your application number which starts with GWF and they will reply to your e-mail one or two working days after you sent the enquiry
Yeah that's right .another week of waiting yeah. . Emailed the help last night about the status of application and it's says "the decsion of an in application was delayed for further on inquery conducted " god what kind of inquiry they are doing ,or they contact my sponsor employer, I hope it just my English test causing the delayed , :(
https://www.gov.uk/contact-ukvi-outside-uk
Just follow the instructions
Honestly, I'll be really devastated if they will put my visa on hold just because of their issue with TOEIC English test because it is not the applicant's fault especially if one took the exam prior to their announcement. Eeerrr
