Hi everyone..actually I've been a member here since October last year..the time when we first attempted to apply for my fiancee visa..We had to pause the application for a few months to improve financial documents. And now, my fiance just posted the documents yesterday. Here goes our story...My fiance and I found each other in an online dating site, became acquainted and eventually fell in love with other. Then on July last year, he came to meet me and my family. We spent 10 days here together,then on his last night here, he proposed. That I think is one of our setbacks, we just found each other on the ineternet and spent only a few days together then suddenly became engaged..Although I can prove that we have a consistent communication while being apart, I'm still having doubts of getting my visa approved.. Does anyone here got a visa approved after being apart from your sponsor for 11 months? Any advice to improve my application will be very much appreciated...
It should still be ok as long as you have plenty of documentation. Why hasn't he been back since last July? It does seem a long time, so may raise questions and increase the need for relationship proof in other areas. But as long as the documents are water tight and situations are explained well it won't prevent you getting the visa.
Well..we have his accountant to blame..hehe.. At first, he produced financial requirements for category A, which he thought would work since he used to be in a partnership. It took few months for me to convince him to change the fiancial documents into category F especially now that he's the sole owner of the business. .didn't declare his real income for years. So the aaccountant said he can finish the documents in two weeks.that's what he said last December, but it took months and had only finished it last week..since my fiance has already done his part of the documents, then he's ready to visit me here again..hopefully next month..
That's what I told him to do..that he should just bring the documents here... But his stubornness got in the way again..or maybe I can still convince him to come here before I submit documents at VAC...
O Of course, that's his main reason for coming here, to spend time with me , and bring the documents as well...
Well, I think it depends on how your relationship goes.. My fiancé was supposed to just visit me once before then, apply for the fiancé visa but we're both thinking it might not enough evidence of our relationship cuz he just visited me once but, he stayed here for 2weeks with me. Then, he visited me again this march for 2weeks cuz he was just able to take a 2weeks leave from work. We really want to prove that our relationship is genuine so he did what's best for it. He came and spend more time together especially with my family. From that month also(our last day together) he proposed to me. And now, we're on the process of the requirements. Just need to take the tb test then apply. I think, it's better if he'll come see you again. I understand you cuz we have the same situation(before) and I also think that while he's with you, you can work for the requirements together.
Not really, as me and My husband were also on the same situation as yours before.He came for 10 days only and i applied fiance visa exactly after 24 months...and approved. BUT to be honest,you have to make sure your proofs will really convince the ECO's approval. Work out on water tightening it. We had out engagement /spiritual marriage vow when he was in the Phils. while on his first visit to see me. (We don't look that old yet, but maybe it was our age that convinced the ECO we are that serious...hahaha of course consider the financial requirement as important as every else tho. Cheers and God bless
just as a reminder--the requirement for a marriage settlement ( " fiancee" ) visa is---that the couple must have met--in person---ONCE .
Don't get it really. When I was in the UK and she was in The Philippines, you couldn't keep me away from the place. We were long distance for 2 years, and in that time I made 7 visits. It was nothing to do with getting evidence of a relationship. I just wanted to see her. It does seem strange for me to have a relationship with someone and not go and see them.
no big deal. nida and i got engaged here in the UK on christmas day 2013. she was here on a visit visa--and went back to the filis in jan 2014. that was the last time i saw her till feb this year. ( she had previously lived in the UK 2008--2012 on a student visa. we met in 2011.) we had hoped her annulment would have been finalised late 2013---and planned for her to apply for her fiancee visa as soon as possible after that. but that was not to be--and then a problem with her TB test meant she couldnt apply for the visa till december 2015. so--all in all we were apart for 25 months.
You are right but It was a decision we made after discussing future plans.It was hard but we made it and we did not regret it because it was with a purpose.It was not that we dont want to spend more time together just as every couple would want it but different folks different strokes and I don't encourage others to follow us.It was not easy.I was just replying a query. And regarding evidence about meeting each other , the rules and guidance shows it so it's up to the couple how they would address those challenges.
It might be strange to you but to us no because we handled it quite well.See where we are now..same as you ...happily married. The question was raised because there was hesitancy in her to lodge the application because they only met once and that's why I shared my story.But no intention of showing how me or my husband adore each and need to prove it here. To us ,there was a deeper meaning to that but I will just keep it to my self as I might get myself replying a query out of context. Cheers
