Spousal Visa Success

Post by Danbrix » Wed Feb 04, 2009 9:02 am

I got my spousal visa which only took a week to process.

I would like to thank good members of this board who played major role towards this success. Especially John, Vinny, UKAbble and Lesley15.

So thank you everyone. :o

Last October you posted :-
I am a failed asylum seeker who came to the UK 11 years ago and currently in process of leaving the UK to apply for a re-entry clearance. My wife is a British citizen and we have a 3 years old son.
-: so congratulations that you now have the spouse visa in your passport!

Have a long and happy life in the UK.
John
