true! i'll be doing this soon...

gosh this is so detailed!!! how did you go about the application sis chryss?! my boyfriend wants us to marry as soon as he gets here on january. do you think spouse visa would be granted after a few months of document preparation as we can only manage for him to visit me once for as i have told everyone my boyfriend is not a rich boy and still saving for everything for us to be able to achieve our hearts desire. please enlighten me thanks!

Hi Dennie!
I received our (me and my older son) visa after 5 weeks excluding the xmas holiday
I submit my application last Nov. 27, 2008 and had a phone interview Jan. 15, 2009, at the same time the ECO released our visa. In January we'll be 2 years here.
I'm not sure about your case as you will only meet once and then will get married. I think I have a friend with the same situation as yours and she's now here in UK as well, but I'm not really sure. I will find out for you, promise!

Thank you for the information Ate Chryss!! Actually, thats one of the major concern I have right now since we are meeting next year for the 1st time and he wants us to get married already when he arrives here. I have no doubts marrying him because I know in my heart he is the one im looking for and prayed for the longest time to God our creator. But Im so worried if that meeting once and marrying immediatley might be grounds for refusal to spousal visa application since the guidelines states that you have to met personally already before proceeding to any application which is also my concern since I don't know if there might be a minimum number of visits first before you satisfy the Entry Clearance Officer.

And wow Ate you amaze me coz you did not have any actual interview at the embassy for your application!! Applause to you Ate Chryss!!

as far as i know at least you meet few times before applying prevent the risk of refusal..plus u have to show lots of evedence of your relatiosnship which are the emails.chats..phonecalls..letters cards..tickets from airlines that he comes and meet you..etc...loads of stuff to convince that your relationship is genuine its silly proving that all but its worthy when u saw and done it and that you application will get approval..furthermore if you get married immeadiately during his visit at least live togther for 6 months but better if years as husband and wife will help and they could see the effort of yopur relatioship is nourishing and not just a short term of period .. think you know what i mean and good luck with your coming application dennie

hello balot!! i understand what you are trying to say at the last part of your reply. So it means after we meet on january we need to set for another visit of him here before starting any application. It is not a problem to do all those things but I am much worried with the cost at this time since my fiance is having a hard time looking for a good job and save money to have frequent visits here as we always wanted.

Again sorry for asking hehehe meaning marrying the moment he comes here is not a good idea?

as far as on m own experience that what i have been through recently and i got the positive and good news after 2 weeks in applying my spouse visa..
and i do understand having a good job and saving money is the hardest thing to do at times but if we need to be sure about what we are doing then we have to do it step by step rather than in quickly manners and at the end of the day its just mess up because of the inf and stuff is not properly in order that the ECO might refuse..thats only my own opinion and experience ..still its your decision to weather to take any risk...

true love can wait... i usually tell myself "why rush things?" ... but that's me dennie ... i was 29 when i met my Baba and we got married when i was 32... we both waited even when we know we're both sure about each other... marriage is for me a difficult decision.. well, specially on my part since i would be giving up a lot of things.. my career, family, friends, the comforts of living in Pinas, and giving up the lifestyle that I am used to... here, sariling kayod and the high standard of living, ... so was really thinking hard on that...

there was a time though that i stopped and thought if it was worth giving it all up... specially when I can't get the same job I was doing in Pinas... was really frustrating... but as the saying goes: kung di ukol, di bubukol (if it's not meant to be, then you won't get a lump... LOL)

i did wait the true love since i was born lol..and i found it after 25 years hahahha too long ?? well its all worthy the waiting day is over

Aha!! Ate Balot, how many times did you and your husband meet personally before proceeding to marrying each other over here?? Did your husband stayed with you for six months or you did it on a different way? Thanks and god bless!

Hi Ate Florge! To this day, we are starting to understand things properly and yes you are indeed correct. Even if you know that you and your hubby was really meant for each other at the moment you have met and seen personally you still need the time to think on things that would be so difficult for you to let go when a decision is finally made. Maybe its more about of US really wanting to be together thats why we are thinking of getting married once he arrives. But last night he was able to realize that no matter how long we will have to wait everything will be paid off soon and surely we will be finally be happy.

Now, we are planning that after his visit here in Pinas. He wants me to visit him over UK which is another side of the story hahaha which means we need to apply for another type of visa. So would you think going there for a visit would be a good idea? Or it would be better if he would be the one to constantly have a visit here in Manila with me and my family?

Been waiting for it too dear Balot. Think since I was a little girl like when I was in elementary and Im happy I have found my one true love. I have no regrets being with my ex bfs coz it made me strong and made me learn so many things in life. But what matters to me now is that Im happy and complete having my future husband

Distance might separates us for now but the love and care we have for each other never dies.

we meet 6 times of the 6 months his seeing me and eventually after more than 4 months we get married and live togther us husband and wife for 2 years in the Philippines and he get back to UK for a year and eventually get all done the paperworks for my visa.. it takes time but its all worthy

D

Debbie there are few lessons in life does make us tough specially our previous experinces..it does lead us to be more mature inhandling things to when the tough times comes we are strong enough but in order to achieve a certain things we cant rush it step by step will go futher i know waiting at times is very difficuly but if you really meant to each other it will be really worthy waiting and take no risk..though at times life has so many risk..and u never know until then if you dont any risk the ball is on your hand to roll it over and make a decision together with you future husband and i i really wishing you goodluck..

sorry for intrusion..but if he wants you to visit him in the UK yes its another type of visa ..not sure of it but you need to have at least savings in your own bank account to show you can support yourself while visiting the UK , and have at least property in your name..like title of land...building, businesses etc..to show you will come back in Ph after the visit to the UK. or u can check the website itself to see what is needed on that kind of visa.. think it should be tourist visa

Hi Dennie, I spoke to my friend. Her situation was like this. First she applied for visit visa going to UK but she was deny. And then her bf (now husband) came to see her in Pinas.. After that she applied for fiance' visa and it was approved. They got married here in UK, her kids are also here in UK now. Hope that helps. Maybe you could do the same as long as you gather loads of evidence in your relationship, take loads of pictures when he visits you and then apply for fiance' visa.
Best of luck! xx

Hi Dennie, havent read all the post of the member answering your query, I just qoute your post, there is no such minimum number of visit that ECO required, if he visit you first time in the phil. make sure he bring all the documents, as well as the certificate of free to marry and he need that to bring to british embassy (phil) and also you prepared everything (easy to marry in munisipyo though) because might the documents are the hindrance for you to get married, take note : you can marry in the phil even it was his first time to see you in person, the only thing that really to aware of when you applied for spouse visa is... HE NEED TO HAVE A JOB !!!
