Happy New Year to you all
If my wife does or could get rejected by the visa aurthorites?
How would one go about making an appeal against this?
Thank you
Regards
LG
LG, think positive
Remember you can only appeal against a decision which is a mistake within Immigration Rules.
There's no answer to your question at this time
Any refusal will give very specific reasons as to why and will include full details on how to appeal if you feel the refusal was given in error.
Be aware that appeals may often take 6 months or more to complete. It's a very stressful period.
Oftentimes it's faster to overcome the refusal reason(s) and make a new application

Hello Terpe
My wife has just got a text from Visa office to say that her visa application is being view by their staff, or words to that effect
Dose this means it is now at the uk border agency HQ here in London?

LG
Probably I'm in a position to answer this latest query of yours, Lloyd ... based on my own wife's application.
..................................happened to be away back on 20th January 2009, I'll grant you; fully 7 years ago! But ...
... unless the system's changed, NO,
... it means the papers your wife submitted are now in the hands of the *British Embassy - otherwise known as 'The British High Commission' (as *it called itself back then) - in Manila, for normal processing.
So, as I've explained, unless the system's changed, I'm confident Terpe will back me on this ^ statement.
Correct Arthur and nicely put too

Hello Arthur
I ask my wife to send her text to me for word for word that she got from the UK Visa Application Centre in Manila
These are the copies of those two text messengers that were sent to her
(The visa application for GWFXXXXXXX was forwarded to UK on 14/12/2015)
(The processed visa application for GFWXXXXXXX was received on 1/6/2016)
So it looks like my wife is right about her application has been forward to the UK after all
Thank you
With regards
LG
Don't understand why it has been forwarded to the UK.
Our application wasn't. It was sent to Manila the same day it was received.

Hello Cheekee
I don't know or understand either and to be honest i did not know the difference between the two places, London or Manila?
Now i am a little worried

Hello all
At 4 am my time here I got a text from my wife to ask me to log online because she has just got a package from the visa office
She has got her visa...
Wow this is amazing
less than 4 weeks from her appointment
Thank you all very much for your great support
All we need to do now is to get her CFO and then book a one way ticket to the UK
Thank heavens she has already
Best wishes and regards
LG
Great news, well done
Thank you Simon
Wonderful news, another step forward, congratulations!
Thank you Michael
AMAZING, indeed,(that your wife's visa has come through as quickly as it has, I mean) and, of course, from the British Embassy in Manila - as *Terpe, *Cheekee and myself had ALL anticipated!
... CONGRATULATIONS to you BOTH ... I'm truly delighted, as will each of *them - and others who've advised you - be when they ALSO learn of this really marvellous outcome!
... yep, that's it; onwards and upwards!!
What wonderful news LG
Congratulations and well done to you both.
It's been a long road but you both stuck at it and now have the rewards.
Don't limit your flight search to one way fares only as sometimes a promo return ticket can work out as a better deal.
Congratulations.
Glad you got it.
Dont forget you need to book travel within the dates given on the vignette in her passport.
Keep her TB certificate and your marriage certificate in the carry on luggage just in case the immigration officer at the UK airport wishes to see it. They will want to see the CFO sticker in her passport and the CFO certificate at the airport she is leaving on in the Philippines. She will need to pay the terminal fee and airport tax which I think is 1640 pesos or around that mark.
And she will need some warm clothes. When she arrives get a rice cooker and start looking for a local or online store that sells filipino foods lol. We use http://www.tindahan.co.uk
As Terpe said. we found that a one way ticket is more expensive than a return. But I went over to Cebu and had a short holiday and came back with my wife together.
Congratulations again.
Hi, did they interview her? Thank you. I will have my appointment for biometrics and submission of documents on the 20th, Praying to get a visa grantedThank you
Thank you Arthur
Hello TerpeDon't limit your flight search to one way fares only as sometimes a promo return ticket can work out as a better deal.
Thank you for the best wishes
I did a search for return ticket and they were all over well over the £1000 mark
I manage to get a deal with Cathay Pacfic for less than £660 one way ticket It is done now and her flight come in at Heathrow next week
Regards
LG
Fantastic,
As long as you'll be together at long last be happy with whatever you managed to do.
There's no interviewHi, did they interview her? Thank you. I will have my appointment for biometrics and submission of documents on the 20th, Praying to get a visa granted
Hi, did they interview her? Thank you. I will have my appointment for biometrics and submission of documents on the 20th, Praying to get a visa grantedExactly ... it'll simply be a case of submitting your documents - and having your biometrics taken - as opposed to an actual interview.
Good Luck, Raven.
