pros281. The requirements to be met by a person seeking leave to enter the United Kingdom with a view to settlement as the spouse of a person present and settled in the United Kingdom or who is on the same occasion being admitted for settlement are that:
(i) (a) the applicant is married to a person present and settled in the United Kingdom or who is on the same occasion being admitted for settlement; or
(b) the applicant is married to a person who has a right of abode in the United Kingdom or indefinite leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom and is on the same occasion seeking admission to the United Kingdom for the purposes of settlement and the parties were married at least 4 years ago, since which time they have been living together outside the United Kingdom; and
(ii) the parties to the marriage have met; and
(iii) each of the parties intends to live permanently with the other as his or her spouse and the marriage is subsisting; and
(iv) there will be adequate accommodation for the parties and any dependants without recourse to public funds in accommodation which they own or occupy exclusively; and
(v) the parties will be able to maintain themselves and any dependants adequately without recourse to public funds; and
(vi) the applicant holds a valid United Kingdom entry clearance for entry in this capacity.
IMHO you should be o.k. if you address the accomodation issue. Note that you should leave the U.K. before the expiry of your visitors visa.What do you think are my chances of granting a spouse visa?
I do not agree with your friend. If the ECO ever asked you this question, I suggest you tell him/her ' I have been happily married in the UK, living with my husband now for a few months. I only came here to have my marriage visa as per law requirement. This trip has cost us a lot of money. Would the British consulate or Home office pay for my husband to come here? Would you pay for the time he would take off work?My mate said that my husband should've at least visited me here in Manila to have bigger chance of granting a visa. Is this true? My point is that, he can't leave England as of this time bec of his 5yr old kid and now that he has a new/better paying job. Thats why I came over there instead.
Absolutely incorrect. Your marriage is legal in the UK. The British consulate must abide to UK laws.She also mentioned that its better to marry here in Manila rather than in England. Does this mean we have to re-marry again here?
Please do*but I will have our letters, photos and phone billings ready just in case they ask for proofs.
Please take every document that you have presented to the consulate.*Any more suggestions what papers/docs should I bring?
The questions in your interview will be centered on the rules and every word in the application form.*I’m wondering what kind of questions do they usually ask?
I would like you to get rid of the idea ‘a Pilipino lady is going to see the British master’*I'm not nervous about the interview but any ideas/suggestions/pointers will be greatly appreciated.
