Hi Jovelyn and welcome to the forum.

Firstly, the visa process is now handled by UKVacs , and secondly, although you have to make the visa application, there is preparation that needs to be done by you and your husband together. Download and print the application form (VAF2) - maybe print several copies - read through the official requirements on links from the Embassy pages, and, more importantly, read through the many relevant postings on this forum! There are lots of people here who have been through the process, either for a spouse visa or fiancee visa.

Pete, one of the Admins on this forum has a site dedicated to many aspects of UK-Filipino relationships and culture, including a lengthy description and help regarding the visa process. The site is unavailable at the moment, but try checking it again after 8th May.

So... do a bit of reading to understand the basics of the process you need to go through, both for the application and for possible interview. And whenever you are ready, you or your husband can ask questions here - any question, no matter how stupid it may seem to you. The process is nothing to be scared about, just make sure you both understand what you are doing at each step. Don't GUESS at what you have to do or how you need to answer any questions on the application form - you are dealing with the British Embassy in Manila, and they have their own unique brand of commonsense

Just remember, a journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step: you have made your first step now
