You can go between sections anytime you want. it will save your answers.

Thanks for that cheekee This will make it a lot easier now that I understand it a bit more
I suppose it is all nerves because if I make one slip up? We might not get a second chance again Plus the great financials lost of this visa too

I've just finish this one FAMILY SETTLEMENT APPLICATION FORM ,
I am working on the financial form now appendix 2
before I work on that online form
I can now see why the lawyers charge such a lot of money to help you with these forms

Hi Cheekee

https://www.gov.uk/government/upload...-Appendix2.pdf

That appendix 2 form completed

I'm now waiting for the courier to deliver my documents to my wife I sent them early last Saturday morning and they told me my papers will be there by Wednesday today...
It is funny that I cannot find my package by it's tracking number.
So I called DHL and ask them about this and they told me they only deliver it to the Philippines then another company takes over, called Wexpress that have a base in Manila.

Very unusual for DHL to take so long.

I have used them 3 times and it took 3 days to get there each time.

Does your wife live in a province far from the city ?

When I used royal mail it took 3 weeks.

Hi cheekee
My wife lives in Davao which is quite a big city...
We send each other letters and cards all the time and it takes about 7 days for hers to get to each other and I send mine by royal mail 'registered mail' of course

You are right about that last online application it is a lot easier than I thought it might be Thanks for that again

how is your lovely lady settling down here with our long winter days?
I hope she is enjoying our weather and hopefully she and you will be able to build a snowman together soon
Mind you so far it has been very mild

I have not come across that part where you have to fill the NHS service health surcharge yet?

When do I have to pay for the visa and what does this mean about V.I.P. lounge any idea ?

Also in filling in the forms we have not seen any reference to the TB clearance corticated either or will these come later?

But we did see the part where you fill in about the English Test

Take care
Thanks again

Please note. If you use a pay for centre for submitting your documents and you need to change the appointment date, you must change the date no later than five days before the appointment. After that you will lose the fee for using the centre (not the visa fee) and will need to use a free centre (Manila). If you are submitting at manila then you can change the date of your appointment with no penalty.

Take a look at the VFS global website for an explanation of the extra services you can avail.

2) Before submitting online check for errors or omissions as once you submit you cant change anything

Yes I had notice that I did leave some un-answer questions out, thank God my wife and I spotted it and I almost left a couple of digits out from my passport number too,, Phew! That was close!
I've gone over and over a few times just to make double sure

Hi cheekee
Thanks again while this still all fresh in your mind you would almost certainly still know all the in and outs of these visa forms A valuable help and I hope I can help those that come here after me too.

So we don't have to pay extra for appointment we just go to the free appointment centre without paying any extra charge ?

On average lets just say, how long does it usually take to process the visa's and for them to us know if we are going to get one or not?

I should touch wood be finish with all the forms by this time tomorrow?

thanks once again
