Cebuana who needs advice!

[islander]

Hi everyone!

Thanks so much for all your advices! I have just arrived home from Manila. It was ok, all goes well with me. Yes, i just asked my hubby to stay in hotel instead of going with me at UKVACS.

Now, I'm waiting for the result, i think the most anxious part of visa processing.

again, THANKS SO MUCH!

Hi Piamed!

Sorry for late reply! Anyway, about visa application, I suggest you read more of the forum & the VFS Global website, coz for sure you will know everything about how application will be done, its requirements & procedures, same as what i did, it really helps a lot!

Btw, I paid my visa fee at BDO - SM Branch, I brought with me my passport & 43,775 cash. After that, they will give you a copy of the payment slip, you keep it coz it will be submitted to UKVACS as proof of payment.

with regards to visa fee, it depends upon the type of visa that you applied for, you look into the website to check its corresponding rates.

If you have some more questions, feel free to ask, I'm more than willing to share my knowledge about it based on my experience, also a lot of members here in the forum are so helpful in that matter.

God Luck!

Thanks Islander

I just wanted to confirm that you paid 43,775 as the application form, when printed, stated a fee of 42,500 which was incorrect.

I hope you don'
t have to wait too long for the good news.

My wifes submission appointment is 14th may so she is a few weeks behind you.

Hi Piamed,

Thanks a lot for the info. given.

Btw, 43,775 is the new visa fee for settlement, that took effect last april 1, 2008. So, if you submit docs for visa after that date, it means you have to pay the new amount. Be sure to pay exact amount coz UKVACS wont accept docs if amount on payment slip is incorrect.

also, make sure that you arrange docs based on checklist, coz some of the staff in UKVACS are strict, they don't allow you arranging docs infront of them.

If you got everything right, there's nothing to be nervous and worry of when you're there. Good Luck!

Thanks!

Tho i have tried tracking my application on this way but its not very specific, think I'll just try calling them as soon as it takes a month after submission of application. I find it more reliable i think.
