Visit Visa :)

That appears to be a form so that employers/academic institutions can register as sponsors for tiered applicants. I know of no requirement for your boyfriend to 'register' as your sponsor. I think it just requires a letter from him.

Visa applications to visit your boyfriend/fiancee and even Spousal and Fiancee applications are non-tiered, so I think you can safely ignore the form.

I think you really need to show you adhered to visa requirements by enclosing any old passports you have used previously. Of course, your sponsor can draw attention to the fact that you have been to other countries and adhered to Visa requirements but that in itself is no proof that you have.

I have made it very clear to my lady friend that she needs to keep her old passport, even though she does not seem to convinced by what I say!

I think the CFO sitcker is only for emmigration purposes, so if you have a visit visa AND a CFO sticker I think the UKBA might be a little suspicious of your true motives!

Your right Howerd Im just aware of some problems with Pinoys exiting on tourist visas plus of course its acomplete lottery on the Brit side exit stamps on your passport are a plus though

you dont need that folders Yuna the Embassy has its own folder for all the paperwork that you are going to submitt but stillo you can bring that of course to make sure all the stuff you need is in order...yet anyway twehn you actually submmit it they wont take your folder all they want is your supporting documents to support your appilication any way Yuna best of goodluck :grouphug:

i put them in the order as stated in the checklist.. what i did was clipped them together by categories e.g. financial evidence, evidence of relationship, etc..

Best way.
yuna, just make it as easy as possible for the administration. As Balot has said, the most important is to have all the required supporting documents to be compliant.

If it's presented in too complex a way, it causes confusions and potential mistakes... which you don't need.

Keep it simple.

Good luck to your application Ate Yuna! Let us know what happened!! Me and Paul is correctly working out which route to go To apply for a fiance visa or him going back here again and have a ceremony over here

Good luck to your application Ate Yuna! Let us know what happens with it! Right now, me and Paul is discussing which would be our next plan..that might be me applying for the fiance visa or he will have to visit me here again then have a civil wedding ceremony here

Again, wishing you all the best!

I think the nearest thing they have to a checklist now is this: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/out-of-country/visitors.pdf

Which states: "It is not a list of documents that you must submit. We do not expect you to provide all of the documents listed below, it is for you to decide which documents are most relevant to your application"

So there is no checklist anymore, as such, just guidance on which documents might satisfy the ECO.

I'm really interested in seeing what result you get with this. Me and mahal ko are going down the same route and she has similar circumstances to you. She has visited Singapore and Hong Kong and she works full time but has very little savings and no land.

I figure this is a decent time to apply for such a visa though. I can't imagine there are many visitors from anywhere disappearing in the UK in recent times - especially on the basis of trying to work in the black market or whatever. These people are now desperately trying to find a way to go home because there is no work for them. You probably have better prospects if you're legal. Ireland is seeing another great exodus of people but they're not coming to the UK, they're going to Australia and Canada.

Good luck and very best wishes for a positive outcome
