Final Fiancé Visa Checklist

When you get your visa it will have a valid from date on it you can get the cfo stamp on or after that date.

You are right.. I think I should be spending it with family as Christmas and new year in the Philippines is more fun

Please don't tell your partner I influenced you with that decision

I see . Well I should wait the visa first before booking an appointment

Hahahah I won't, don't worry let me know if you already receive an Email from ukvi about the decision hehehehe just hoping it will process faster

You can actually attend the seminar in advance without the visa yet and once you get your visa you will have to go back to get your cfo stamp. But for me I will wait once I get the visa so I won't have to go twice as I love far from Cebu and Manila. That will save me cost.

are we talking about a visit visa or settlement visa here ? if its settlement ( the thread title suggests it )--then the applicants salary is irrelevant. its all about the sponsors income--and 6 months bank statements are required.

You should get your result before me since you applied first so let us know as well. God bless to the both of us.

Yes it's about settlement so the applicants bank statements for 6 months is not needed

Will do

That was just an example, and it's case to case basis. What I'm trying to point out is don't submit too much documents that aren't relevant to your category.

So for category A, the applicant's (me/Filipina) financial status will not be credited. It is solely on the sponsor's side to meet the financial requirement.

Sometimes it's not 60 days. I've got mine in 41 calendar days, 27 working days. I lodged my application last October 1 and got the decision Nov.16 (including delivery to my address).

I just observed that during the last quarter of the year, the decisions are somewhat expedited. Maybe they are working double time because of the holidays? Just an observation, I may be wrong.

That's what I thought, applications lodged towards the end of they year seem to have faster processing times as I said I knew someone who applied last year who applied December 15 and got the result January 8 which is very fast considering it's not priority

Hey @Brom27, if you get the visa on january when do you plan to go there? How about you @tipipay? Have you booked your ticket yet to UK?

If thigs go according to plan, I'd go on the 18th of January but I might extend depends how my friends and family would react. They might think 18 is too soon. How about you? When do you intend to travel?

I'm thinking you'll get yours sooner.

Yup, all booked.
It will be on 14th of January. I still have to attend CFO in Manila before that.
And hopefully to get rid of this terrible cough before I fly. I'm thinking it will be better to get a flu shot before going to the UK.

Oh please, don't give me high hopes. (Although that's what I want to think, sa tinuod lang )

@tipipay and @Brom27 wow! your travel dates are pretty close! so excited for you guys!

if the visa will be granted, i'm planning to leave on march. we're not in a hurry to leave because i still have to attend my sister's graduation.

good luck to both of you guys! i hope we can all meet in uk! hahaha

Hehe yeah mine is getting close, I hope everything will go according to plan. I can't stay longer here if I get my visa because of giving notice and if we want to marry on my birthday then I'll have to go by January or first week of February. When do you plan to get married anyway?

I really hope we can all meet in the UK Someday.
