Still Waiting for Visa reply

[DAnn]

Hi there. Pleased for the all the happy news!

However, I just wanted to share that my friend whose fiancee visa application was rejected, also received a similarly-worded email. When she told me about it, we jumped for joy for her and her fiance. Because, according to my experience, when I got the same type of email in June, the next thing that happened was I got my passport with my UK visa on it.

BUT very, very sadly, this was not the case for my friend. She was hopeful when she went to VFS. When she opened the envelope and saw that her visa application had been rejected, you can only imagine how it was for her and her fiance. They were supposed to marry this month. Not anymore.

Sorry, I don't mean to get anyone down. But just saying, wait until you have the passport with the UK visa in it. All the best to everyone that's waiting.

Thanks for getting back to us about receiving such vague notification from Manila hub. Would you care to share what were the grounds of refusal?

My friend said the application was rejected due to the English test provider not being recognised by the UKVI anymore. Another reason was lack of a Company letter. Her fiance works in Manila but was sent there by the UK Company. The trouble is, they didn't do much research beforehand. They thought it should be easy because they are in a genuine relationship.

to read about your friend. Complying with the UKVI rules is not that easy. Took me and my then fiancé a while to understand the application process required so many documents. We submitted about 10 kilograms of paperwork - including the photocopies - at VFS in July 2014. Got the email after 20 calendar days that my visa had been approved.
