    Did she also take TOEIC exam? My gosh, that TOEIC exam certificate is making me nervous. I hope they won't take it against us. I submitted my application april 2 2014, days before they announced that they will no longer accept TOEIC.

    I also think it's a yes .................so many congratulations

    Strictly speaking don't open the champagne until the passport with visa is in the hand.

    But I've never known anyone here get that message and not receive the visa.

    Did your wife take TOEIC exam from Hopkins? If not, what kind of exam did she take?


    Seriously, I want to hear someone who took TOEIC exam and got visa approved. Haaaay agony

    Thank you all.

    Sorry the visa's are for my stepkids my wife is already here in the UK with me

    She believes that we can't book the flights yet as they must register with the CFO Commission on Filipinos overseas and then to attend peer counselling program to help adjustment to new environment.

    Is this true? Anybody have any experience of this, how long it takes, cost etc?

    BTW The kids applied on the 11th March

    I sent them an email yesterday, so not sure if it gave them a kick up the .... or just coincidence

    Many thanks

    's normally the procedure for Filipinos going to live abroad either long-term or permanently, Deck.

    There again ... ... I'm not sure how (or to what extent) this ruling applies to youngsters under the age of eighteen, but I'm sure someone here who's been in this position will confirm.

    Hi guys! Has anyone here got their settlement/spouse visa in 2 months time? We applied 2 months ago and now still waiting. We know it can take up to 3 months so we are not worried. But just wondering if anyone has received visa in 2 months or maybe just a bit more or less? A part of me is hoping I would receive mine very soon and not have to wait for the end of the 3rd month. Oh can't wait!

    My wife exactly 8 weeks or 40 working days and she was 26 weeks pregnant at time of application.

    Phew very short notice - she just managed to get here in time....

    Wow raynaputi! That's pretty quick! We hoped that that's what would happen to our application as we submitted complete documents and loads of photos and proof of continuous daily communication over the last 5 years. MY IELTS certificate was fresh, as in just a few days old when I submitted my application and so was my TB Test cert. Is there a way to track the spouse visa application status? I subscribed to the sms service from VFS but the last message/update I received from that service was on the same day when I lodged the docs and application which was about a couple of months ago now. It did let me know that my application was already in the decision making dep't. Not heard anything again up until now so far. I wish there was a tracking service so we are not left wondering. I think it is in human nature to be wondering when you know you are waiting for something and not knowing when the wait will end can be kind of emotionally and mentally stressful somehow. Hubby and I can't wait to start living our lives together! We have endured 5 years long of long distance relationship. I am sure we can do a few more days of being apart but hopefully not too long anymore. We are so full of hopes and dreams for the future together. And besides we are not getting any younger LOL

    That was not so bad, marksroomspain! I am even more full of hope now that I read your post. My application has not reached 40 working days yet although the 30 working days mark has gone past without hearing good news. Still, 40 days is better than 60 days! The other thing that is making me anxious is that my parents are travelling first to the US very soon to visit my step brother and his family and then they have booked tickets to be in the UK by 2nd week of June. What if I am still here and they are already there? Hubby might feel awkward or uncomfortable without me there and just my parents with him and besides if that is what happened in the end, then Mum and Dad's purpose of visiting the UK would be defeated specially if they returned here in Manila and I am still here waiting for my visa! That would be both sad and funny at the same time.

    The reason why you aren't getting any SMS updates from UKVI it is because your application is still on queue which is the same as my situation. In order for you to track it, go to UKVI website and there will be an option there in what way you can contact them, you have to fill out and give some info then you can enquire what you want to know. In tracking, you just have to say that you want to know the status of your application by giving your application number which starts with GWF and they will reply to your e-mail one or two working days after you sent the enquiry

    Continue living your life and I know it is really crazy when you are waiting without any clues of what will happen next, but as long as you guys have definite plans, you will be good. Either way, worrying too much would not benefit us, save your emotions so you can cry when you are about to depart. Hihiihihi. Good luck to us
