Thanks for allowing me to join this forum

I would like some info on a couple of points. I am due to get married on the
29th March 2008 to a wonderful filipino lady who I spent 3 weeks with in
Sept this year.

1 If we apply for a spouses visa on NSO issued Scepa papers, will they raise these documents at the same time we go to register the marriage?

2 If this is so & assuming an appointment at the embassy is available having prepaid the fees taking appropriate documentation, I could accompany my wife shortly after the wedding for visa application?

3 Is it essential to get her passport changed before she leaves for uk?

4 If successful how is the visa granted ie day of visit, much later, 1 month or more etc. (Tina has to give a months notice at work)


Thanks for your help & to the masterminds behind this site
