Many members here have been through the pain and frustration of the spouse visa process, any tips for dealing with the stress? We are at working day 55 and the suspense is killing me!
Memorise God Save the Queen, start drinking tea and eating biscuits, practice your Posh English accent, learn and practice banters and British humour, and watch football.
throw yourself into work--all you can get, earn all you can--youre gonna need it !! £££ kerching time ahead.
Lol... as it happens I just arranged to plumb in a new basin for someone been thinking about the FLR and having the money saved upfront for that. Very good advice bigmac
Yes.. and the good news is February is a cheap month for direct flights: Manila to London £510. Just need a CFO sticker in the wife's passport (she already did the seminar).
Thanks for pointing that out, yes we knew about this restriction. The plan is fly to Manila as soon as her passport is received (hopefully with the visa granted) check in a hotel then get the CFO sticker in her passport ASAP. She can then fly to London on the first available flight. We are hoping the CFO sticker issue is just a matter of falling in line and waiting without having to make appointments.
Make plans when she is back in the uk. Organizing who and when to see ppl or places would take a bit of planning to get the best deal.
Check the waiting time for a CFO, we were told there is a 4 month waiting list, thankfully because my asawa is an OSW she could get it on the day
You've scared me with that! I have just checked appointments in Manila and it seems I could book anything from Friday onwards.
Apologies, I'm getting confused (which happens too easily for my liking) it was a 4 month waiting list to send the passport off to update her name. We needed the CfO before we could do that.
