[glacy_rein]

^Sis try calling their hotline para macheck if dumating na passport. Even the SMS ba wala kang in-avail?

[10tequilashots]

^hi sis. I availed of the SMS but the last text I got from them was that "the processed application has been received on 6//22/2015". Sabay dumating yung email from above and yung text. After that, wala na.

[shobe17]

^ hi sis, meron ba binigay VFS sayo na maliit na slip nung nag-submit ka ng application?
Nakalagay dun na once makareceive ka ng text/email na pwede na icollect ang visa mo, pwede mo na sya puntahan the next working day. If I remember correctly 2-3PM ang releasing nila.

[10tequilashots]

^hi sis. okay na, got my visa about an hour ago. mabilis din process, took them 7 business days lang.

[glacy_rein]

^granted sis? Congrats! mag-file din ako uli next week naman

question mga sis regarding sa list dito kasi I will be applying with my mom and sister so tama diba mga sis na isang buong application kami? i mean sama sama so the documents like Financial para sa lahat na right?

Section 4: documents you should not send unless specifically requested
This page provides guidance on the types of documents that are not required to
consider your application.
 if you are applying as a family/group you do not need to provide multiple copies
of the same documents - bale isa na lang for 3?
 bank statements or letters issued more than 1 year before the date of
application
 driving licence
 photographs (other than passport photographs required in section 1)
 notarial certificates
 business cards
 hotel bookings - no need na??? as in? no confirmed bookings needed?
 flight bookings - this one we have tickets already by Asia Miles, no need to pass na talaga?
 photocopies of bank cards
 credit card statements - not needed either?
 certificates relating to leisure activities
8
 evidence of car ownership
 travel insurance
 sponsor’s utility bills
 sponsor’s council tax bills
 educational certificates (unless specifically listed in section 3)

Bale aside from the application form ang kasama nalang sa documents to submit is itong mga to?


Section 2: other documents you may want to provide – all
visitors
This section provides guidance on the types of documents that you may want to
provide to help us consider your application against the Immigration Rules.
Previous travel documents/passports, which show previous travel.
Financial documents showing that you have sufficient funds available. These must
clearly show that you have access to the funds, such as:
 bank statements
 building society book
 proof of earnings such as a letter from employer confirming employment details
(start date of employment, salary, role, company contact details)
 where a third party (who is either in the UK or who will be legally in the UK at
the time of your visit) is providing financial support to you e.g. a business, a
friend or a relative, documents to show they have sufficient resources to
support you in addition to themselves and any dependant family should be
provided
Confirmation of legal residence, if you are not a national of the country in which
you are applying or your right to reside there is not included in your passport.
Details of employment or studies where you have stated in your application that
you are either employed or in full-time studies.

So that is filing only
Application form
Bank Certificates and Statement
Proof of Employment or DTI
Previous passports

ito nalang???

confirming lang mga sis. Thanks!

I got an email from the UK Embassy saying that our Visa will be returned to  the Visa Application Center. Do i still wait for the text of the VSF or just go the following working day? 

I wasn't supposed to get that 150 text service fee because they would email naman talaga based on what i read but they insisted that no emails will be sent out na daw. Meron naman pala. Sayang 150  ha buti na lang I only got 1 instead of 2 for me & husband.

Hopefully, Visa granted so we can move on to Schengen Visa naman. Thanks for the help here.

@sis glacy - yes, sis. granted.

mga sis, yung flight ko to London may 8.5 hours layover sa Bahrain. Does anyone know if kailangan ng transit visa? Sorry, not sure where else to post this question. Baka may nakakaalam lang dito.

How many days in total yungapplication nyo? We applied last june 17, until mow wala pa ako narereceive na updates. Tia!

[glacy_rein]

^pinakamatagal ko na before 15days, sis kamusta visa mo now? (July 9)

I just submitted this morning at sa hinaba-haba ng list ko sa taas, sinundan ko lang and pinasa lang yung photo, passport, tax, bank certificates and statement and marriage certificate, yan lang. Pang 3rd visa ko na sya so sana maging ok lahat and kasama ko din mother and sister ko so the waiting game starts.

[chichirika]

Hi! My husband and I are applying for a UK visa online. Should we register and apply separately? or apply thru his registration only? Baka kasi if we register separately, maging magkahiwalay ang appointment namin.

[glacy_rein]

Ok lang sis na one account kayo may "Apply for myself" and "Apply for Someone else" option. Tapos ang appointment isa isa din ang pagsched, anyway magsunod mo gawin, sa parehong time, makukuha mo un. Goodluck!

[chichirika]

Thanks a lot, glacy_rein! :-)

[chichirika]

Ang total monthly income ba sa online application form should be in pesos or in pounds? The employment certificate kasi will have it in pesos. Thanks.

[shegie_285]

^ As far as I remember may nakalagay sa form if they specifically wanted it in GBP. I applied last Jan and  some of my response were in Eur (i live in Europe) and some were in GBP.  Hindi ko lang maalala kung ano ang nasa Euro and GBP.

[chichirika]

Thanks a lot, shegie_285!

I got the message already of "a decision has been made" waaah! Kakainis at Saturday bukas!! kakatense! 9days yung samin since nalodge, so sure to sa monday ready na for pick up right mga sis?

[gj1206]

glacy_rein They send another notification to say the documents are ready for pick up, I think. When are you flying out? Either way, I'm sure good news yan!

[glacy_rein]

^ah okay wait ko na lang muna, regarding sms 1 sms pa lang nareceive ko yung na-despatch na sya sa UK embassy. Ang mahal ah for 150/text!! haha!

September pa naman ako pero may Schengen application pa kami eh

[gj1206]

glacy_rein Ahh. Nakakainis nga yang may other application to process ka pa.

I'm not too sure ha, about the SMS notifications. When I applied for Schengen via VFS here in the UK, I got 3 texts -- first was the embassy has received my papers na daw, second was a decision has been made, third was your documents are ready to be picked up. I don't know if iba ba ang sistema ng VFS in the Philippines?

[glacy_rein]

^wala sis yung second text. haha! i'll wait for the other email na ready na. thank you!!!
