    Hi Everyone,

    I just wondered if anyone had any experience or knew what type of questions they ask a Pinay whilst she is being interviewed for a UK Visiting Visa?

    any advice welcome

    yeah they asked my gf a lot of questions on the interview for our first application, on our second which was Friday they didn't ask as many she said.
    the first interview they asking questions of where I lived about me like birthday how old I am etc, asking about dates of travel, what u will do when your there, they ask about her employment so allsorts of questions, she did say they asked like the same questions but re word them almost like they trying to catch her out, there is a lot to remember.

    I don't think there is specific questions , I think it depends on each situation

    "Super priority" is strictly for business travel.

    Surely if you have been together long enough she will know the answers to the questions ?... My wife was always a good talker and elaborated on their questions taking her answer onto other subjects about me and my family /life. The questions aren't "trick questions",.. they are asked to find out how true the relationship is ...

    Sure,..I see it's for a visitor,...but theyre the same kinda questions they ask for fiancee/ spouse ?
    My point was that they will expect their questions to relate to general knowledge she should have about each other surely ?..

    HI Steven,

    Hi, my GF went last Thursday, it was to the British Embassy, she went to give her fingerprints, also hand over her documents. They only asked her to confirm her name, asked her my name, how long we had been seeing each other and why she would need to come back to the Philippines. This is the question they were most interested in, after that there were no more questions. We now have to wait approx 2 weeks for the decision.

    I cannot find your post with the list of documents you took? could you point me to it or send me a PM?

    thanks in advance,

    Sateev.

    hi sateev
    yeah sounds very similar to what my gf had to do, I will list below what documents we included:


    CANDY LOU DE GUZMAN SUPPORTING LETTER
    STEVEN KNOWLES DECLARATION
    CANDY LOU DE GUZMAN APPROVAL OF ABSENCE
    CANDY LOU DE GUZMAN COMPANY CERTIFICATION
    CANDY LOU DE GUZMAN WORK CONTRACT
    LETTER FROM STEVEN'S PARENTS
    SUPPORTING LETTERS FROM CANDY LOU'S FRIENDS
    RETURN TICKET PRICES FROM MANILA TO HEATHROW
    STEVENS EAYSKART DATES
    CANDY LOU DE GUZMAN PAY SLIPS
    CANDY LOU DE GUZMAN BANK STATEMENT
    Candy lou contract for franchise
    candy lou business license
    STEVEN KNOWLES PAY SLIPS
    STEVEN KNOWLES BANK STATEMENTS
    STEVEN KNOWLES LETTER MORTGAGE STATEMENT AND UTILITY BILLS
    FROM EMPLOYER
    STEVEN KNOWLES STEVEN KNOWLES BIRTH CERTIFICATE
    SCREENSHOTS OF CONTACT FACEBOOK, KAKAO TALK AND SKYPE

    this is the same list of documents as our first application which was refused apart from candy has now bought a franchise, and the first application had a cover letter from a lawyer.
    so I thinking her now owning a franchise might have made the difference as it is a tie to the Philippines
