    One question I have that is 100% related,

    I got my P60 last week - the amount on the P60 is under the threshold, because I got a pay rise this year.

    In your application obviously your P60 is your form of evidence that you earn enough to sponsor your partner - do I have to wait until next years P60 now?

    Are you looking at the gross amount (before taxes)? If it is indeed below the said amount, you dont have to submit a copy of that p60. Just make sure that you have met the income requirment in the last 6 months. Then add to that your payslip, letter from employer (stating the most recent annual salary) and you should be good to go,

    I see not many if any replies to the question of how much it costs to get married in the Philippines.
    Well I got married in the Philippines in 2015 .
    I arrived in the Philippines on a Friday night and my fiancee met me at NAIA we stayed in Makati until the Monday morning as I had an appointment with the British embassy in Manila to sign an affidavit that I was a single guy.
    The Tuesday morning we went to the municipal office where my fiancee was living to book a wedding and apply for the marriage licence.
    This was late June and the earliest date was the 14th of July, just over two weeks away.
    It was a civil wedding and was free aside from the cost of the licence.
    A group of around 30 couples got married on the same day all at the same time.
    With prior planning I reckon three weeks of holiday would result in your getting married.
    Then the process of getting the appropriate visa would follow once the marriage certificate is issued.
    It is possible to get this expressed through the system.
    I didn't need to get the visa for the UK for my wife as we were going to be living in Spain, where I had been living since leaving the UK in 1999.
    Something you might like to consider is currently you can go and live and work in Europe under the freedom of movement rights ( which the current prime minister is going to stop ) after having spent at least a year living in your chosen European country which I might add doesn't require all the red tape and costs you can bring your non European spouse with you.
    After living working etc and once your wife has her residence card for your chosen country you can effectively enter the UK circumventing all the huge costs visas etc etc.
    Search for Surinder Singh Route you will find plenty to read regarding this.

    No, the Prime Minister is not "going to stop" the freedom of movement rights for those seeking to work/live in the UK: the White Paper published yesterday makes this quite clear despite May and her ministers lying through their teeth on this very subject. In fact, she is being far more generous towards EU27 citizens than the EU27 is towards British citizens as no decision has been made regarding the rights they will retain should Brexit (or Brino) actually take place.

    "Surinder Singh" ceases to apply on March 30 next year. Anyone moves to Europe now with their non-EU bride with a view to returning to the UK using Surinder Singh, has probably left it far too late. UKVI will, I'm sure, take a jaundiced view to anyone attempting this after spending a few short months in Europe and applicants will be hard-pressed to convince UKVI that their centre of life is in their current EU residence.
