good luck with your application cheekee !!
as you know my wife and i are also gathering all our documents together for our settlement visa. could you let us know when we have all our documentation together do we need to book an appointment for my wife to present her application to the embasy ? what is the proccess when we have everything ready. also the two application forms we have to fill out, personal detail and appendix 2 should these be hand writen in black ink or filled in online then printed off ?

thaks alot for your help ! edd and pam.

[cheekee]

The online form is printed off when you pay. You then send it in with the supporting documents to your wife.

The financial requirements form can be written in black ink.

I have adobe acrobat so might type it. Not sure yet.

[Terpe]

.........could you let us know when we have all our documentation together do we need to book an appointment for my wife to present her application to the embasy ? what is the proccess when we have everything ready.

The application is made online for Personal Details.
It is submitted online together with payment. An appointment needs to be booked with VFS Global at their Application Centre in order to enrol biometrics and to submit a signed hard copy of the online personal detail form, the appendix 2 financial requirement and all other supporting documents.
VFS then collate and forward the bundle to the British Embassy Manila Hub for review and decision.

Something wrong with the link.
However, if that's the Sponsorship Undertaking Form SU07/12 then it's not needed unless specifically requested by a caseworker for a reason.

It's not listed as a supporting doc. Who has mentioned to you that it's required ?

As always it's a personal choice. If you feel more secure to include it then do so. It will not influence the visa application decision though.

Hi lloydegbrick,

I'm pretty sure you've got everything covered.

As you're exempt from the Financial Requirement income thresholds you'll be applying under the immigration rules for Adequate Maintenance & Accommodation.

Just in case you didn't yet review the specific requirements here's a link for the relevant rules under Immigration Directorate Instruction Family Migration - Appendix FM Section 1.7A

Hello cheekee
Thanks for this

I got a new passport last year because the old one got damage, which means I no longer have that stamped proof of my two visit to the Phils
I do have copies of my flight tickets though

Soon I will post my wife's check list as soon as she comes back from her last visit to the TB clinic, hopefully they will give her the certificate this time?
My wife had 2 other TB sputum test which show the all clear.
She gave another sputum back in the middle of August and was told this could take up to 8-9 weeks for the results
We are now waiting with our fingers crossed for them to give us a date for her next visit to the TB clinic?
This according to calculations should be any day now.
Regards
LG

Did you photocopy or scan the old passport before it got damaged

Just a thought.

If you did you could send this with an explanatory note.

Hi all
A question
By the way is it ok to send some of my documents via email?
Because I have notice that some of my letters have gone missing in the Philippines.
Or are there very stick rules about sending everything by royal mail?
Thank you
Regards
LG

[cheekee]

Royal mail will take weeks.

Originals are needed without exception unless a really good reason can be given.

If sending documents to the Philippines for spouse visa purposes use DHL express. Expensive but worth it.

No other way will do.
