    Smile Got My Visa YAY!

    Hi people here, I just wanna say thank you for this site cos it helps me a lot. I was reading here before I applied for my visa and I got it approved today.
    I think Im one of those lucky applicants for the visit visa that got approved without interview and I was really feeling negative before as I read a lot that it is very rare to approve a visit visa to someone who dosnt have work and property or big money to show but I still tried and I made it.

    I just provide more documents from my boyfriend and my passport. I lodge my application last March 11 and I got it today without interview a visit visa for 6months.. Yipeeeeeeeeeeeee..... Thanks guys this site is really a big help.

    Now how can I get a cheap flights going to Birmingham I planned to stay there for 6months.. Hope guys you can give me some tips... And also what I need to bring with me aside from myself and my clothes? I might forgot something I am soo excited to be with my boyfriend and meet his family and see UK.

    Just check your local Travel Agent for the best price for return Airline Prices as i have found booking in the past from the Philippines is much cheaper.

    Otherwise i would say;

    Well done.

    there are a few of us here who live in Birmingham, ignore the Boss he just wishes he was here!!!!. Generally the cheapest way here is Cebu Pacific to Hong Kong then Oasis from Hong Kong to London Gatwick with your boyfriend driving down to pick you up. There are numerous way however with various amounts of stop overs and always one mainline airline with a special offer so it depends if you can be flexible on dates and times. Remember you HAVE to book a return flight to get entry. If you have some dates in mind let me know and I will do the search for you(becoming an expert in this area), actually I have a great secretary who is also our company travel planner and she really knows her stuff.

    When you get here your boyfriend can buy me a beer
    Live your life for a reason and don't worry be happy

    if you don't know where you are going then any road will do!!

    Well done to you! You are indeed lucky for getting the visit visa to visit your boyfriend. As Joebloggs said do not overstay, follow your visa's conditions or else you will get banned from coming to UK and you will lost the British Embassy's trust on you.

    It's spring time here in UK, just like in Baguio not too cold not too hot. Return ticket is a must show at the immigration in any UK airports.

    Goodluck and Welcome to the United Kingdom
    Not an expert, I only try to help.

    The cheapest option is not always the best option

    Hi Febbie,
    I'd just like to say congratulations on being granted a visit visa and with regard to your flight to the UK, may I offer this advice.

    The only 2 airlines that I know of that fly direct from Manila to Birmingham are KLM amd Emirates and I personally prefer to fly directly to Birmingham, because after such a long journey from the Philippines to the UK, I don't think that travelling to Heathrow or Gatwick to save a few pounds is worth the extra hassle. Once you've added on the extra cost of travelling on to Birmingham from Heathrow/Gatwick as well, then I think it's definately not worth it.

    Cheers,

    Iain.

    i think its correct Im sure Iain and our other midlanders may be able to confirm that your less likely to be asked for a medical xray. If entering by Birmingham airport.

    Which checks for TB but also is a real anoynance as you can't leave the airport untill done it only is asked of you on your first vist of six months or over to the UK.

    As far as I know, they still don't carry out TB checks and X-Rays on passengers arriving at Birmingham airport which is another plus for new arrivals from Phils, especially if Birmingham is their final destination anyway.

    yeah only KLM and emirates operate services from birmingham

    come on boss whats wrong with brum except the accent
    KLM is the more expensive of the two,

    if money is an issue then go oasishongkong
    but it true its a long trip so i would go direct to birmingham and save a 1/2 day round trip for your man and 4/5 hours for you (but you pinoys are used to a bit of traffic so no problem)

    why my wife will use a bus to go from baclaran to monumento, when there is a LRT direct but i guess that is filipina logic, sorry mahal ko

    regards
    martin
