Hello to all! For practical,health and financial reasons me and my fiancé, agreed that he will be here on June 2015,for his first time visit and the get marry on the 2nd or 3rd week of July. Maybe some of you will get shock, why I will marry him, even without meeting him for real even onced. But I know myself and knew him as well too, we've been in the rela. For almost 3yrs. already. He was sick for long mos.need to recover and be back in shape again. My question now folks....what assurance we should hold on, that the UKVI will consider our case, when I apply for my spouse visa already? It's easy for us to convinced them that we really have genuine rela.and he's financial status passed in the income needed. If someone there,who has same situation like us, pls. Feel free to share your stories. A couple that just met a month before marriaged. Hope I can hear from you soon!
I am not an expert, and I hope an expert will reply, but I am sure that very good documentary evidence, like Skype logs and so on and financial evidence, will be needed.
Well, from a UKVI point of view you will be as entitled to apply for a Spouse visa after your marriage as anyone else. The fact that you will have just married should not have any derogatory effects on your visa application. Remember there will probably be a few months after the wedding before your visa is granted, in that time you will have accrued more chat logs and other evidence of communication that can be used in your visa application. You'll be fine Oh, and make sure your loved one gets travel insurance before traveling to the Philippines, I know he has been sick and some insurance companies require a bigger premium if they are traveling with a known sickness. Better to be safe than sorry
I agree 100%, little snippets of information you can find here at BF are extremely helpful, I know that from my personal experience here.
Thx Timmers! He is completely cured now, thank God for his healing hands! But,yes I will tell him about travel insurance. Step by step we are planning your wedding now...maybe a simple beach wedding for us! We are finalizing the budget yet.
When he is there first time go to different places, wearing different clothes, and take photos there of you both together. And look happy in them!! Also, meet up with as many friends and family as you can while he is there and, once again, take group photos, with you both holding hands or with arms round each other.
There are no rules as to how many times you should meet in applying for a spouse visa for as long as you both show/prove that your relationship is genuine. I concur with Maharg and Timmers I would also want to give you a heads up in regard to CFO ( Commission on Filipinos Overseas). They ask a lot of questions about your relationship so be prepared for that as well.
Thx Anne for your inputs.... Yeah I will put that on mind.i am sure I can answer all the questions of CFO, coz we are having a genuine rela. To one world....we are considering sunset or late afternoon beach wedding.
