    The best new year wish you could have come true would be that your wife be with you here in UK under settlement-route visa.
    I pray for that LG

    LG, think positive

    Remember you can only appeal against a decision which is a mistake within Immigration Rules.
    There's no answer to your question at this time
    Any refusal will give very specific reasons as to why and will include full details on how to appeal if you feel the refusal was given in error.

    Be aware that appeals may often take 6 months or more to complete. It's a very stressful period.
    Oftentimes it's faster to overcome the refusal reason(s) and make a new application

    Hello Terpe
    My wife has just got a text from Visa office to say that her visa application is being view by their staff, or words to that effect
    Dose this means it is now at the uk border agency HQ here in London?

    Probably I'm in a position to answer this latest query of yours, Lloyd ... based on my own wife's application.

    .................................. happened to be away back on 20th January 2009, I'll grant you; fully 7 years ago! But ... ... unless the system's changed, NO, ... it means the papers your wife submitted are now in the hands of the *British Embassy - otherwise known as 'The British High Commission' (as *it called itself back then) - in Manila, for normal processing.

    So, as I've explained, unless the system's changed, I'm confident Terpe will back me on this ^ statement.

    Hello Arthur

    I ask my wife to send her text to me for word for word that she got from the UK Visa Application Centre in Manila

    These are the copies of those two text messengers that were sent to her

    (The visa application for GWFXXXXXXX was forwarded to UK on 14/12/2015)

    (The processed visa application for GFWXXXXXXX was received on 1/6/2016)

    So it looks like my wife is right about her application has been forward to the UK after all

    Thank you
    With regards
    LG

    Don't understand why it has been forwarded to the UK.

    Our application wasn't. It was sent to Manila the same day it was received.

    AMAZING, indeed, (that your wife's visa has come through as quickly as it has, I mean) and, of course, from the British Embassy in Manila - as *Terpe, *Cheekee and myself had ALL anticipated!

    ... CONGRATULATIONS to you BOTH ... I'm truly delighted, as will each of *them - and others who've advised you - be when they ALSO learn of this really marvellous outcome!

    What wonderful news LG
    Congratulations and well done to you both.

    It's been a long road but you both stuck at it and now have the rewards.

    Don't limit your flight search to one way fares only as sometimes a promo return ticket can work out as a better deal.

    Congratulations.

    Glad you got it.

    Dont forget you need to book travel within the dates given on the vignette in her passport.

    Keep her TB certificate and your marriage certificate in the carry on luggage just in case the immigration officer at the UK airport wishes to see it. They will want to see the CFO sticker in her passport and the CFO certificate at the airport she is leaving on in the Philippines. She will need to pay the terminal fee and airport tax which I think is 1640 pesos or around that mark.

    And she will need some warm clothes. When she arrives get a rice cooker and start looking for a local or online store that sells filipino foods lol. We use http://www.tindahan.co.uk


    As Terpe said. we found that a one way ticket is more expensive than a return. But I went over to Cebu and had a short holiday and came back with my wife together.

    Congratulations again.

    As long as you'll be together at long last be happy with whatever you managed to do.

    Exactly ... it'll simply be a case of submitting your documents - and having your biometrics taken - as opposed to an actual interview.

    Good Luck, Raven.
