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.
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.
