Hello

I'm Simon from Scotland, and I have a beautiful Filipina Fiancee' named Jessica. We have kept and LDR alive for three years and plan to Marry in July 2009 in Scotland . . . . assuming she gets her visa.

Hello

Can you help me ? Here is my situation :-



My fiancee' from manila and I are about to submit paperwork for her Visa to the UK (Fiancee' visa). We have all the proof of our meetings and pages and pages of MSN Chat transcripts and phone bills that prove we have remained in contact, and we also have the receipit for our planned wedding in July.

I am, however, a little worried about my finances and need some advice.

All the bank statements I have sent (past 6 months) are healthy and show no fees, no overdrafts, no charges etc etc so that is good. However, I am just about to come out of a Trust Deed (an IVA) due to some problems in the past, and I am not sure if I should declare this, or not, in my letter of sponsorship.

I have a full time Job, and a part time Job and my take home pay is £2200. After my mortgage, loans, car, trust deed etc etc
comes off every month, I have a disposable income of around £400 ... this will increase to £600 after February when the trust deed ends.
Also, I am slowly building up savings and now have £300, growing monthly...this I can prove to the Embassy.

(1) IS a disposable income of £400 enough proof that I can support my Fiancee' ?

(2) Should I declare the Trust deed, and include a letter from the Trustee CONFIMRING that payments will cease on February ?

I'm worried that being in a trust deed (or having been in one) will affect my aplication but any advice will be appreciated.

Cheers

Simon

The perpetual advice from this forum, with regard visa applications, is to be honest and open. Untruths, and even withheld relevant information, will almost certainly come back to haunt you.

i think its not a problem at all and £400 left after paying the bills is good enough as long as you have a full time job, anyway welcome to the forum and goodluck!
