Hi SephEan!
Congrats on your wedding! I just got married too last month. I'm now in the process of preparing my documents, gathering all emails, chats, pictures, etc. My husband is now preparing for his docs too, accomodation, bank statements,contract with his flat, preparing his letter.
I got worried at first when I read your post about not sending your mails to the embassy. I dont send him letters because we always just email each other.
I will pray for your visa. You will have it soon. I can relate to you too. I really miss my husband and I want to start a new life with him too and serve him as his wife.
Good luck sis!
nope,not yet ...still here in makati,soon to go
Let us know when u got it huh and share here,and dont stop posting when u got itat least help the one who also on the same process...or should i say ...share the blessing

Hi SephEan!

I hope you could help me as well. I've got tons of questions still after reading several posts here.

Hi sweet_cookie08!!! Congratulations too!!about the letters, i think email, chats would be enough but evidence that u are posting each other cards and letters would be a really great help. Since ur still preparing for the docs. ask him to send u some cards here or letter with his own writing and then add that to ur supporting evidence..include the envelope with the stamps, its very important. and continue reading the threads... really helps!!
I will pray for ur application too... You'll be soon together sis as I soon be with my husband too...!! no worries!! its just that it takes a lot of patience specially during the waiting game... Goodluck to both of us!!! Cheers!!
Welcome to the forum SephEan!

Sephean,
Aside from that, we will also gain new friends here, hehehe! Im from cebu. My hubby is from west lothian, scotland. how about you?
Btw, have you tried calling the embassy already? I think i'll try do it if there's no feedback yet after 2months since submission.

Regarding my visa, nope i havent ring them.. but im gonna do that if i wont be receiving any result in 2 months.. we submitted ours april 2,2008....
By the way i was at the UkVAC this morning to pick up my refund, my goodness many applicants.. before they just have 24 slots for walk-in, now they doubled it..i heard coz its peak season thats y...
By the way im from batangas. Nice to hear from u again sis!!
Hi SephEan
Islander, Sweet-Cookiem my wife and some others are all within a few weeks of each other in terms of submitting their spousal visa applications. Sofi and I check-in each day eagerly anticipating Islander's application processing timeline and her ultimately good news, as she is flying with her sister to Manila tomorrow (Tuesday) to submit our application on Wednesday. Btw her appt is at the following site, and I would be really grateful if someone could recommend a decent hotel close by:
VFS Services Philippines Private Inc.
Phil-Axa Building, 2501-02,
1286 Sen. Gil Puyat Avenue, Corner Tindalo Street,
Makati City, Manila
Philippines
SephEan, I am in the Caversham Crowne Plaza Hotel about once a month which is very close to your hubby if ever useful.
Good luck to you all re. your applications, I think everyone on the forum, visitor and member alike, awaits all our good news!
And as someone mentioned earlier in this thread, it really helps the ones just behind you if you can feedback to them, even if just to allay a fears they may have.
Be responsible with little so that you can be trusted with much!!

Hi Piamed!
its nice to hear that you have been waiting for my visa result also! Don't worry, Im going to announce it in the forum as soon as I have the visa already! Please help me pray!
Btw, when I submitted my docs, me & my hubby stayed at Hotel Intercontinental, very nice hotel, near glorietta mall & just a 10-15mins. ride going to UKVACS. anyway, AXA bldg. is very familiar to most of taxi drivers, another landmark beside it is the makati post office.
Good Luck!
I'm still waiting for them to give me a text about my refundit's been a month now.
Walk-ins...OMG! i tried it twice it was a BIG BIG PAIN! went one Thursday 5am...loads of people...the guard said they will only accomodate those in the list his holding..which went in queue yesterday (Wed) and a few on the list on that day...then he told us..."those in the list today, go back tomorrow i will call ur names then"
But no jose! when we got there the next day...he gave a non acceptable speech...saying the office didn't recognize the list, so they gave way who was in the queue that day!!
Just imagine the horror on everyone's face...swearings everywhere. Applicants didn't leave...after an hour the guard went bk with an employee with appointment stubs...the dates were like... 2 weeks after still!!
The reason you are a walk-in applicant is your in a hurry isnt it? like those seaman just getting transit visas.
Anyway...i booked an appointment b4 i went as a walk-in...just went there just incase i get picked for that day..making waiting time faster.
Hi Piamed!
I could recommend a good hotel near the Phi=AXA life building. Its the Tiara Makati Hotel.
Makati Tiara Hotel
7248 Malugay St.
Makati city
telephone: 729-7888/888-4146 to 49.
I think it is also a walking distance hotel from Phi-AXA building.
Hi Islander. You are surely in my prayers! Actually, the intercon is my preferred hotel also. I was just trying to save my love the hassle of taxis etc. I will try the one recommended by sweet-cookie08, if not the intercon it will be. Good luck again.
Be responsible with little so that you can be trusted with much!!

Thanks for your help sweet_cookie08, I will give them a call in a couple of hours when i get to my hotel then hopefully make reservation in time to give to Sofi while she is on her way to Butuan.
Good luck to you and thanks again!

Hi Mavid!! about your refund try email them and follow it up. thts what i did, its been a month and i didnt hear from them about my refund, so i emailed them, then i received a response the next day saying i could pick my refund anytime...and now i have it!!!
About how i filed my application.. my goodness, God knows how badly i've waited for my appointment day...Let me tell u,....I Paid in cash thru BDO March 15,2008 then booked an appointment, that time the only available slots were from April 01 onwards. So i booked April 1, the earliest...I've waited 2 weeks, every single day waiting for it was getting harder as it gets nearer....i counted days...it felt like its been the longest weeks of my life...til i finally wake up the day of April 1...I was there on time with my mom, brought my heavy piled of documents..at last i was there sitting waiting for my name to be called, its been 1 hr. waiting b4 i finally got my turn...i was pretty much confident...smiling and no worries at all, so i approached the guy who called my name, presenting him evrything i have......JUST TO INFORM ME THAT, THAT DAY, WAS THE DAY THAT THEIR NEW RATE HAS BEEN EFFECTIVE..They can't accept my application..From P42,500.00 that i paid they increased to P43,775.00... I asked if could just pay the addt'l. fee there since i've transferred my payment before they changed their rates, but they were very strict...I have to pay again their new rate... I thought i was gonna breakdown.. My tears came running out my eyes, i silently cried. I told the guy ive waited so long for this, but those words just fell on deaf ears.
So I have to hurried back to Batangas, went straight to BDO, requested for a manager's check with the new fee-P43,775.00... Went back the next day, this time as a walk-in applicant..I had experience the same situation u had. We arrived there around 6:30, I tot we were early enough, but some of the people there got there 12:00 am, can u imagine that?, some were 2:00 am... my goodness!! I was losing hope. the guard started calling names on the list, but ofcourse my name wont be called coz we werent there yet when they made that list... but thanks to my mom and some people i met there, they encourage me to stay and wait for the guard to come out again..luckily i got the chance to talk to the guard and xplain what happend to me the previous day, he said i could inquire inside but i have to wait til he gives the stub(access to get in)...10:00am after patiently waiting for hours i got stub but still have to wait for 2 hrs b4 i could get in but it was ok i tot...i would take any chances to submit my application....and there i was in, went to help desk, explained the previous day situation, good thing i still got the copy of my appoinmet ltter, and the new guy was very helpful, after talking to his superior they let me in as a walk-in applicant that day..and was able to submit my application...it was a big relief and although very tiring, it was worth it!!!!! oooppppsss..too long now..hehehe!!!
