    i would like for Jasmine to be able to visit even if only for a couple of weeks

    Hi ,

    Sorry for the question, I have just read your first posted topic, saying "JUST GOT BACK" . Actually, its not really that complicated as you think to get a visit visa, as long as you will follow the requirements for visit visa @ UKVISAS website.

    In my case, me and my fiance meet first in the net, as most stories..... We have been chatting over a year, at first I am not interested to come here in UK cause I am fully independent at home, I live on my own, work in a financial institution, and I am loving my life there. But as of my spare time, I make friends with people on the net, there I just got more interested with a single person, and I was not dating with anyone at that moment, so why give it a good try.

    So, 2nd quarter last year we both decided to meet, so he came over to Cebu.

    After his visit, we decided to do it the other way around, which is me visiting him and his family.

    We both studied the requirements and all the rules in UKVISAS website.

    We just follow the visitors visa requirements, which is more likely similar to fiance's visa requirements.

    These are the documents that we have complied in my case:

    *my passport
    *my passport size photograph for thier file
    *the application form of course from UKVISAS website
    *his 6 months all photocopied payslips
    *his 6 months all photocopied bank statements, along with his on line print outs
    *a photocopy of his passport (not necessarily notarized)
    *his letter address to the Clearance Entry Officer, saying how we meet and his interests on me
    *An original copy of my Employment Certificate

    After gathering some documents from him, he sends it to me and I did the rest.Which is not really hard, but nervebreaking to think about the (WHAT IF'S)

    So, I called the embassy for the procedures, they give me a british embassy call center number, which is 20pence per min(20PHP). So I called the number and ask about how to do it.

    They instruct me to buy a managers check for the visa payment which is around PHP5,000 something(refer to the website).And ask for my passport number, told me to wait for 2 days and the aboitiz courier will pick it up from my workplace, along with all the documents mentioned above.

    Note: The british embassy have difinite intructions on how to do it , what envelope to use before sending, and its PHP 180.00 by the way for the courier.

    After 3 days I called them up again, for feedback. Then they just said that I am scheduled for an interview 4 weeks after.And that there is an interview invitation letter in transit for me.

    I got the letter, with all the interview schedule details.

    I flew to Manila on the day before my interview, and of course arrive at about 30 mins ahead of my scheduled time, but the security guards are tight, they won't let you in until its 15 mins before your scheduled interview.So I wander around, then came back after 15 mins.

    My interview schedule was actually 2:15pm, but I was actualy interviewed an hour after, the interview took about just 15 mins., for me, there was no easy/hard questions cause they don't seem to be friendly, just as long as they are doing thier job.After that 15 mins interview the CEO said I'm satisfied with the way you answer my questions, please come back an hour after and I will give you your visit visa.

    So there, I am here in UK now for six months.

    On my 2nd month....he proposed...we are engaged at the moment...

    Hope this reply will help you.....but this is not enough...please study the UKVISAS website...

    Hope to hear from you

    Nicelady

    Nice Lady, you are very Lucky, few get granted, your ECO must have been in a very good mood that day, jokes apart, your case is not typical of a visitors visa, but Im happy for you.

    Congratulations on your engagement, and welcome to UK.

    Thank you Pete....must&#39;ve been lucky then ...but as you said....aside from the documents presented, it really matters how you honestly answer thier questions, cause you feel shy in some way that you smiled at them during the interview but they never smiled back at you.... <_< its a bit awkward.....plus they really ask a lot of tricky questions....

    Nicelady, I think the above perhaps indicates the succes of your application.

    Speaking honestly, an awful lot of the girls who apply for visit visas do not come from a background such as yours. Many have no job of any great importance, many have no income, many have no property of their own. All the above is taken into consideration when they apply, and the big question asked:

    WILL SHE EVER LEAVE AGAIN?

    That is what the whole application procedure is for: Purely and simply to ensure the UK does not become filled with errant overstayers looking for an easy life.

    ....and we wouldn&#39;t want people like that coming into the country, taking jobs that the UK population won&#39;t do, working hard, doing the job better than any British worker, put money into the goverment, getting along with society.....we don&#39;t want buggers like that here.....

    B------t

    How many come rushing over here to work down the mines, and the hospitals were cleaner when the `British Worker` was doing the cleaning. They couldnt get workers because they wouldnt pay the rate for the job, instead they undercut by bringing over the West Indians to work the buses in the 50s, and then it all began.

    You have enemies? Good. That means you&#39;ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.
