Oh dear... now I am really concerned... I wish I could have found this information earlier... Is it really necessary to have pre-booked a date with the Registry Office here? This is the first time I have come across that requirement. Our plan, as I stated in my covering letter to the Embassy, is to arrange the marriage here if the visa has been granted, within 3 months of my fiancee's arrival, hopefully in June or July. If this is truly an essential requirement, then it is a big blow.... I can understand that they want us to have shown some serious consideration about the date, but to actually have pre-booked??!! Oh.... does anyone have any thoughts, ideas or suggestions please?

Ivor, Im glad you came here as you have done, your covering letter is a disaster, I have sent you a personal message, you may wish to call me at home today, I have sent you my home number for your call, if you wish to discuss your situation in detail, my details are at your personal message.

To answer your point publicly, this has also been raised by another applicant, suggest before you send in your covering letter, you speak to me, your letter needs to show the details of your pre-planned wedding including dates and times, reception details, that will ensure a granting of your GF's visa, if you do not provide it, your GF has no details to offer, your GF will end up being refused, and you are basically..f....


Any one disagree...Iam all ears !!

Hi pete,
as a member of the forum i will ask all other members to vote that you should have a 0800 number installed so everyone could call you day or night for free so you can provide a more personal service. Ha Ha Ha!!!!!!

No problems John, but can I make a living from it ? I doubt it, so it looks like I will have to continue on, designing bathrooms for the sick the lame and the retired.

Thanks again for your invaluable help, Pete - so much I learned and just wish I had been exposed to this a lot earlier. If you ever escape back to the north, there will be at least one pint waiting for you

Glad to hear that you have not lost your homing instinct, Pete! Just hope your taste for decent beer has not been corrupted by your exile Perhaps you could tell me over a pint about how "London" and "class" fit together - that concept is beyond a poor provincial bum like me at the moment :P And once the dust has settled from this visa process, I am going to need a few pints! Meanwhile... back to reading all the posts in this forum...

Ok Ivor, you may tell your lady to point to :

http://www.british-filipino.com/guidance.html

This is a completely new page, only took me 8 hours to build today, for want of nothing to build, hope that is of help to you in the future, also I have added a special java script to the settlement page which actually updates it every 5 minutes if it has been changed, so that the reader doesnt have to refresh it, it self refreshes, pretty cool dont you think, well thats me finished for the day, the CFO page is finally finished.
