Unmarried Visa or Spouse Visa

[rjd1969]

Thank you for the reply.

We are thinking about the spouse route rather than fiance as at least that would be definitive. No need to upgrade in the UK. No additional stress or worry if I lose my job within the period.

Will keep you all posted.

Hi,

Cant login using my original login info ( rjd1969).

Its been a long time. I am back in the Philippines trying to push through the spouse visa. The wife is slowing down the process ( cold feet syndrome )

Questions:

Bank statements

I am in PH. I need to apply for new bank account statements. However my bank only provides what looks to be photocopies with a covering letter.

Will this be ok? I cannot get the bank to sign the statements as i am in the PH.

I am hoping my P60 and signed salary statements will reconcile the amounts though?


dependents

I have 2 children. One child has the ROA. The other we will apply for the ROA. I understand that we need to list the 2 children as dependants on the spouse visa.

Should i apply for the ROA before we submit the spouse visa?

If we add 2 dependants to the spouse visa I am presuming that this will not increase the cost of the spouse visa.

Accomodation

We intend to stay at my parents initially while looking for somewhere to rent. They own their own house and they have 2 free bedrooms plus a living room.

I am hoping this is acceptable for a me , my wife and 2 young children ( 3yo and 1yo). is a letter sufficient from them or do we need additional info like floor plans etc?


Thanks as always. You Rock!

Does anyone have the latest turnaround times for Spouse Visa & Right Of Abode?

I am being told on another forum that a UK passport application for my baby will be granted quicker than a ROA. I was hoping the ROA would only take 2-3 weeks like the previous application

Appreciate any feedback.
