I am a UK National and in 2007 Married my wife who is from the Philippines we have just recently been awarded UK spouse visa for my wife after having our Appeal heard at the AIT in Hatton Cross last November 2008. I received documents from the AIT dated 18th of December.
Our Solicitor has asked us to wait about 4 weeks before contacting Manila about the visa and has warned us that the ECO could still appeal
![Twisted Evil :twisted:](./images/smilies/icon_twisted.gif)
My questions are as follows
1. What is the time period for the Visa?
2. What would we have to do when the visa starts to run out, what would be the correct visa to apply for, will my wife have to go back to the Philippines to apply again?
3. Where do we stand if say we want to visit the Philippines next Christmas will we have a problem also what if i wanted to take my wife for a short break in Spain in the Summer?
Sorry for all the questions but it has already cost me so much in money and stress over the last 14 months i wish i had asked questions before i started on this adventure to get married not that i have any regrets about my wife just wish i had researched everything before about the visa?
Now want to be armed for the future.
Regards
Steve
