Manila, Philippines - Applicants of the UK Spouse Visa, UK Fiancée Visa or any other UK Settlement Visas including the UK Visit Visa applying from Manila, Philippines will be glad to know that the visa application centre in the Manila, Philippines will be re-opening this 6 July.

According to the VFS-Global Philippines, it will resume their services this coming Monday.

The visa application centre further reported that, “Customers who were unable to attend an earlier appointment, will be able to log into their account to book a new appointment. Customers who have completed their application on GOV.UK, but didn’t previously book an appointment at the Visa Application Centre, can do so from today.”

This means that all applicants for the UK Spouse Visa, UK Fiancée Visa and other UK Settlement Visa may continue with their application which was left pending when the covid-19 pandemic hit the Philippines and a total lockdown was declared on 17 March.

Despite the resumption of operations, however, the visa application centre cautioned the UK Visa applicants to practice established covid 19 protocols, and reminded the public to follow strict rules for physical distancing.

“Your safety is our priority, so customers visiting our Visa Application Centres may be asked to observe physical distancing, undergo temperature checks or be required to wear facemasks, subject to local authority guidelines. Please note; customers must have an appointment to visit the Visa Application Centre, and we advise customers to confirm their chosen centre remains open on the day of their appointment.”

“Customers exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms, including fever (higher than 37.3 degrees Celsius), cough or difficulty breathing will be helped to reschedule their application submission for another day and will be advised to seek medical attention at the nearest healthcare facility of their choice.”

The visa application centre also noted that some of their special services will not resume since there are other remaining restrictions that are still being implemented in other countries.

“Please also be aware, that due to restrictions still in place globally, we are not currently able to offer the following services: Super Priority Visa, Priority Visa Service (visit), Priority Visa for settlement or migration Service and Walk-in services’” the VFS added

Regarding UK Spouse Visa and UK Fiancée Visa applicants with pending applications lodged with the visa application centre and are waiting for decisions, the VFS said that, “If a decision has been made on your application, and you need to collect your passport from the Visa Application Centre, we will be contacting you to arrange this.

“We will continue to monitor the situation and post updates on this page.

“There are new rules in place for entering the UK because of coronavirus (COVID-19). Please check the latest information before you travel at gov.uk/uk-border-control.”

There was no mention, however, if the Cebu branch of the VFS-Global Philippines will be opening on the same day.
​
Cebu City was one of the hardest hit areas in the Philippines lately as the DOH recently issued a statement saying the increase in the covid-19 patients in Cebu is “very much alarming.”

THE BEST DEFENCE IS DEFINITELY A GOOD OFFENSE

12/4/2019

0 Comments

 
PictureCongratulations to Ivy Fortune! She is now in the UK with her husband Remo. Good luck on your new life and adventure in the UK Mr. and Mrs. Fortune!
This is true even in filing an application for a UK Spouse Visa, UK Fiancée Visa any type of UK Settlement Visa and even in applying for a UK Visit Visa whether here in the Philippines or in any other part of the world in order to avoid a refusal of the application.

ECO-Friendly always stresses that any applicant from the Philippines should attach not only the documents listed in the official website of the UK government but any and all other documents which is connected with the application even if not officially listed in the UK government’s website.

This means that the applicant for the UK Spouse Visa or UK Fiancée Visa should anticipate questions which an Entry Clearance Officer (ECO) may ask regarding with the application and have ready documents attached with the application in answer to these queries.

For example, if the applicant will be filing for the UK Spouse Visa, the required basic documents which the Entry Clearance Officer (ECO) would expect the following supporting documents to be attached with the application packet:
  • Marriage Certificate issued by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) printed in its security paper
  • Pictures of the wedding
  • Even the wedding invitations would help greatly to prove that the wedding was celebrated

However, to further strengthen the application, it is wise to also attach, letters from the family in the Philippines, like the father or mother of the bride, supporting and fully consenting to the impending marriage.
On the other hand, for a UK Fiancée visa applicant, the basic documents which should be attached with the application packet would be;
  • Proof that a wedding will be celebrated in the UK within 6 months from the date of issue of the visa
  • Proof of relationship between the future bride and groom
  • Proof that both parties (the Filipina applicant and the British sponsor) are legally free to marry each other

But just to intensify the application (ECO-Friendly calls this “ADDITIONAL POGI-POINTS”), a copy of the wedding invitation or other documents to demonstrate the UK wedding may be affixed with the application.

But these are just the basic supporting documents to prove the intention of the applicant for the UK Spouse Visa and the UK Fiancée Visa.

If there are other specific facts and details that the Entry Clearance Officer (ECO) needs to know, these must also be supported by evidence. As an example, if one of the parties is a widow or the previous marriage has been annulled, the corresponding death certificate or annulment decree issued by the appropriate government agency is suggested to be appended to the application packet of the for the UK Spouse Visa or UK Fiancée Visa application.

In the case of an application for a UK Visit Visa and the applicant has a business not registered with the proper government agency, do not despair because the UK Visa and Immigration may still accept the fact that the UK Visit Visa applicant manages a local business and derive income from this enterprise even if it is not officially registered with the Philippine government’s Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) or the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) or the Barangay office.

Any proof that you receive income, however small or large, from this business, as long as you can show legitimate proof of receipt of this income plus other evidence to support this declaration, this may be accepted by the UKVI as long as legitimate, reasonable and genuine.

Beware, however, that if the UKVI investigates and confirm that the documents are falsified, forged or not completely true, the application will be denied and the applicant may even be penalized with a ban from entry to the UK for a period of ten years or even a lifetime, depending on the gravity of the offense.

The Minimum Income Threshold

11/25/2019

0 Comments

 
PictureKyle receiving his UK Child Dependent visa at the ECO Immigration Consultancy office in Ortigas, Philippines.... CONGRATS KYLE!
Manila, Philippines. All over the world, based on UKVI records, the usual common problem of applicants for the UK Spouse Visa or the UK Fiancée Visa is the dreaded Minimum Income Threshold (MIT).

The Minimum Income Threshold is the required annual income which the sponsor and / or the main applicant should earn in one whole year immediately preceding the filing of the application.

Most of the British partners, fiancés or spouses of the applicant from the Philippines do not usually reach the MIT and so they are left with no choice but to either settle for an LDR or a long distance relationship or look for additional employment to reach the minimum annual income required by the rules.

Again ECO-Friendly would like to impart to our dear readers, the ways of meeting the financial requirements, as provided under the rules of the UKVI.

Where the applicant has to meet the minimum income threshold, the financial requirement can generally be met in the following five ways:
  1. Income from salaried or non-salaried employment of the partner (and/or the applicant if they are in the UK with permission to work). This is referred to as Category A or Category B, depending on the employment history.
  2. Non-employment income, e.g. income from property rental or dividends from shares. This is referred to as Category C.
  3. Cash savings of the applicant’s partner and/or the applicant, above £16,000, held by the partner and/or the applicant for at least 6 months and under their control. This is referred to as Category D.
  4. State (UK or foreign), occupational or private pension of the applicant’s partner and/or the applicant. This is referred to as Category E.
  5. Income from self-employment, and income as a director or employee of a specified limited company in the UK, of the partner (and/or the applicant if they are in the UK with permission to work). This is referred to as Category F or Category G, depending on which financial year(s) is or are being relied upon.

Some of these income may be combined with the other income in case the earnings is insufficient

​ECO-Friendly will explain each and every way of meeting the MIT in its next blog.

By the way, ECO-Friendly would like to inform its loyal readers that the old terms for the UK Spouse Visa and the UK Fiancée Visa which were “SETTLEMENT-WIFE” and “SETTLEMENT-MARRIAGE” respectively, has now been changed to “APPLY TO ENTER THE UK AS A PARTNER” for both visas.

But for purposes of our blogs, we will still refer to them as the UK Spouse Visa and UK Fiancée Visa.

Until next time!

FIRST BRITISH PASSPORT FOR THE CHILD OF A BRITISH CITIZEN BORN IN THE PHILIPPINES

8/18/2019

0 Comments

 
PictureECO-Friendly clients Khlodia Marie-Chung McGruer with hubby Ken and son Kameron in the UK. Congrats on the First British passport of Kameron!
Manila, Philippines - Children of British nationals, even if born in the Philippines are considered as British citizens from birth. 
 
According to the rules as prescribed in the official website of the UK government, a person is automatically a British citizen if he or she was born outside the UK and all of the following apply:
1.      The applicant from the Philippines was born on or after 1 July 2006 (a different provision applies if applicant was born before1 July 2006)
2.      The mother or father of the applicant was a British citizen when the applicant was born
3.      The British parent of the applicant from the Philippines could pass on their citizenship to the former
 
Unfortunately, most applicants for the UK Spouse Visa who want to settle in the UK with their children whose fathers are British nationals do not realize that their children are automatic British citizens.
 
Thus, in some instances, when an applicant from the Philippines filing for a UK Spouse Visa decides to file the application with his or her child who is the natural child of her British spouse/sponsor, they usually file for the UK Child Dependent Visa instead of the First British Passport.
 
If they file for the UK Child Dependent Visa, the expenses will be double because the fees for both applications are the same (the last time ECO-Friendly filed for the UK Spouse visa, we paid around USD2,000 and for the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) around USD1,700).
 
Both applicants need to pay for the visa application, IHS, TB Test, as well as fees for the visa application center.
 
But why pay for all of these fees when the child applicant from the Philippines who is the son or daughter of the British sponsor/father is an acknowledged British national at birth?
 
Instead of paying for all these fees and experiencing all the hassles that go with applying for a UK Spouse visa or any other UK Settlement Visa, ECO-Friendly suggests that the child simply file for a First British Passport with Her Majesty’s Passport Office, and the applicant need only to pay a fee of £75.86.
 
All it takes is 16 weeks of processing, if the application is filed here in the Philippines.

FLR (M) - Further Leave to Remain in the "M" Category

8/2/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
Congratulations to the newly-weds Mr. and Mrs. Robert Neil and Venus Hawkes who celebrated their wedding last July 10! ECO-Friendly wishes you a happy and fruitful life in the UK!
Manila, Philippines - In ECO-Friendly’s previous blogs, we extensively explained the intricate details of filing the UK Spouse Visa, the UK Fiancée Visa or the other types of UK Settlement Visa. 
 
We will now feature the next phase of the application… the FLR (M).

FLR (M) means Further Leave to Remain, in the “M” category – based on the Marriage to a person settled in the UK.
 
This is the application filed by the UK Spouse Visa holder or UK Fiancée Visa holder, who are already in the UK and want to extend their stay in the country for the eventual purpose of finally settling there and filing for a British citizenship someday.
 
Everyone knows that the ultimate goal of each applicant for the UK Spouse Visa or UK Fiancee Visa is to settle in the UK and start a family with their British partner or a person settled in the UK.
 
ECO-Friendly explains that he or she will only be allowed to stay and eventually file for the Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) after staying in the UK for a continuous period of five (5) years. This is what the UKVI calls as the Five-year Route.
 
According to the Family Policy of the Home Office published on 25 July 2019, Under the principles of the UK law, generally speaking, “…A family who wishes to come to or remain in the UK, usually chooses to do so because they feel it’s in their best interest to do so. A family cannot necessarily exercise that choice however, unless the requirements of the Immigration Rules are met. There are costs to the taxpayer which arise from migration to the UK including for example, provision of education for children of compulsory school age, a sponsor’s entitlement to claim tax credit or child benefit for their partner’s children and costs arising to the NHS. Being able to speak English aims to encourage integration. Family life must not be established here at the taxpayer’s expense and family migrants must be able to integrate if they are to play a full part in British life.”
 
“In some cases, families may have to wait before they are able to meet the requirements to enter the UK. In today’s global economy it may be that families choose to separate for work or other reasons in order to satisfy the immigration requirements of the country in which they wish to live together.”
 
In other words, although the general rule is that the UK government understands the importance of the family unit living together under one roof, there are certain rules and regulations which must first be complied by the applicants before they can be allowed to enter and settle in the UK, not only for the good of their family but for the good of the country especially.
 
There are actually two ways to settle in the UK: the 5-year route and the 10-year route.
 
Under the 5-year route, as the name implies, the applicant must stay in the UK for a duration of five (5) years as well as comply with all the requirements for the relevant suitability and eligibility requirements as specified under the UKVI rules.
 
Thus, under the 5-year route, both the SUITABILITY and ELIGIBILITY requirements are met and complied with by the applicant.
 
Under the 10-year route, however, the applicant should stay in the UK for a period of ten years because of the fact that he or she was able to comply only with all of the SUITABILITY requirements and unfortunately was not able to comply with all the ELIGIBILITY requirements.
 
In the case of a UK Spouse Visa holder, if he or she is already in the UK, the approved visa is only for a period of 30 months initially in the UK (2.5 years). After this period, the UK Spouse Visa holder will have to extend for another two and a half years to qualify for the Five-year route.

On the other hand, in the case of the UK Fiancée visa holder, the successful applicant who applies say in the Philippines is initially given a period of 180 days or six (6) months to fly to the UK and celebrate the marriage with his British sponsor or who is settled in the UK.
 
Before the lapse of six months, the applicant shall be given a chance to change the visa status from that of a UK Fiancée Visa to a UK Spouse Visa so that he or she can extend the stay in the UK for a period of until 2.5 years from the time the UK Fiancée visa was issued. Before the lapse of the 2.5 years as a UK Spouse Visa holder, the applicant is then allowed to file for another extension of the stay to another 2.5 years to complete the 5 year period and complete the 5-year route.
 
Please do not hesitate to contact us for any queries you may have regarding your applications for a UK Spouse Visa, UK Fiancée Visa or any other type of UK Settlement Visa.

ECO IMMIGRATION CONSULTANCY CELEBRATES 3RD YEAR IN ORTIGAS AND 9 YEARS IN OPERATION!

7/22/2019

0 Comments

 
PictureCongratulations to Mummy Daisy Miguel who has finally been reunited with her daughter in the UK after years of not seeing each other.
As we enter our third year here in our Ortigas office, ECO Immigration Consultancy, or simply “ECO-Friendly” has learned so many lessons which has made our firm one of the most sought after UK immigration consultancy in the area.
 
It all started nine years ago when our office was still located within a residential area along P. Tuazon Blvd. in Cubao, Quezon City. Since this humble beginning, we have gone through so many transformations and changes, encountered all types of clients and filed so many applications for different types of UK visas, passports and appeals to Tribunals.
 
We can therefore say, we have almost seen it all. Emphasis on the word “almost” since nobody can really say they have seen it all!
 
In the course of our operation, probably one of the most important lessons that we have learned in the filing for a UK Spouse Visa, UK Fiancé/Fiancée  Visa or any other UK Settlement Visa as well as the UK Visit Visas and British passports here in the Philippines is that there is nothing more essential than an application equipped with a complete set of supporting documents to fully reinforce each and every declaration in the application.
 
Many times, during our initial evaluation and interview of prospective clients, they almost always assert the completeness of their documents.
 
“We are already in possession of the complete set of documents,” or “...kumpleto na po ang mga papel namin!” were the usual retorts when asked on the sufficiency of documents, only for ECO-Friendly  to determine later that they still have a good deal of documents to gather before we can truly declare the sufficiency of their papers and before they can pass the strict investigation of the Entry Clearance Officers (ECO).
 
There were also numerous instances when past clients who consulted us initially, and later decided to file the application on their own without our assistance, come back to us, almost in tears because their shot at filing the UK spouse visa on their own did not receive a positive result and the Entry Clearance Officer (ECO) did not think they attached the sufficient amount of documents to prove that the applicant is truly qualified for the application being applied for.
 
So many applicants who were previously refused would come to us and when we review the reason for the failure and investigate the documents they attached with their application, we realize that they could have easily passed the scrutinous eyes of the ECO had they only attached the correct and applicable documents to prove their qualification.
 
For consultations on your plans to file the UK Spouse Visa, UK Fiancée/Fiancé Visa other UK Settlement Visa or the UK Visit Visa in the Philippines. And for a clearer picture of how to go about the filing of your application at the visa application center and how we provide you with assistance, please do not hesitate to contact ECO Immigration Consultancy.

SUITABLE ACCOMMODATION FOR UK SPOUSE VISA APPLICANTS

7/10/2019

0 Comments

 
PictureECO-Friendly congratulates its clients Mayra and George McDonald on their recent wedding celebration. Well done oh beautiful couple. Wishing you a wonderful journey as you build your new life together!
Manila, Philippines - In filing for a UK Spouse Visa, UK Fiancée Visa or any other UK Settlement Visa, it is very essential that the applicant specify the exact address where he or she will stay in the United Kingdom.

Primarily, the applicant is expected to stay in the house of the British sponsor or partner while she is in the UK. Proof required may either be utility bills for the said residence, Council tax bills or other valid documents that show the true residential address of the partner from the UK.

However, there are instances when the British husband or partner does not have his own house as he is renting or residing in the house owned by another person like the latter’s parents, siblings or friends.

ECO-Friendly explains that to prove accommodation in an application for a UK Spouse Visa or UK Fiancée Visa, ownership of the house is not the main issue. Thus, it is not important if the British spouse or partner actually has title to the house but mere possession of the house where the applicant and the British sponsor will live is more controlling.

In the case where the British spouse or sponsor does not own the house but rents it from a landlord who owns the property, this is perfectly alright since he still has the right to possess the house. Thus mere right to possess the house is sufficient to comply with the rule on accommodation.

As long as the property can suitably accommodate the British sponsor, the applicant from the Philippines, and in some cases their children, there will be no problem with regard to complying with the requirement on proper lodgings.

There are even instances when the accommodation or housing is in the form of a boathouse owned by the British husband.

In the past, one of the clients of ECO Immigration Consultancy approached our office for assistance and asked if it was alright to file her application for the UK Spouse Visa even if her British husband lived on a boat.

Mrs. Fara Grassing went to ECO Immigration Consultancy in February 2019 for consultation worried that her husband Keith’s boathouse may not be sufficient to comply with the rules on accommodation.

ECO-Friendly assured her that a boathouse as residence for purposes of complying with the UKVI rules on housing or accommodation was perfectly valid and we went on to file the application.

On 26 March 2019, we filed the application using her husband’s boathouse address as her accommodation. On 19 June 2019 or less than 90 days later, her visa application was approved and she is now happy in the UK living in the boathouse together with her husband Keith (https://www.ukvisa-eco-friendly.com/eco-friendly-blog/congrats-to-fara-and-keith).

On the other hand, there are also instances when the British sponsor is living with the parents, siblings or friends. Again this is also applicable and perfectly alright.
​
The only issue that must be considered is that the property must be large enough to suitably accommodate all the residents of the house including the applicant for the UK Spouse Visa or UK Fiancée Visa who will soon also be staying in the same house if and when the application is approved.

UK VISIT VISA - FIRST TIME FILING VERY CRUCIAL

5/2/2019

0 Comments

 
PictureECO Immigration Consultancy client Ms. CharIty Ecot enjoying the magnificent sceneries in the UK.
For now, ECO-Friendly, the main website of ECO Immigration Consultancy – Philippines will not delve on issues relating to UK Spouse Visa or UK Fiancée Visa but will instead tackle another UK visa application which is the UK Visit Visa.

Countless applicants have visited our Limketkai office in Ortigas, Philippines to inquire about filing for the UK Visit Visa. Just this December 2018, there were five UK Visit Visa applicants who made an appointment to inquire about our UK visit visa assistance.
Of these five applicants, three were previously denied after they lodged their respective applications on their own while the other two were first time applicants.

We at ECO Immigration Consultancy have always stressed the importance of having a complete set of documents during your first attempt. If you have no record of any first time refusal, the application is already around 30% approved since all that the applicant for the UK visit visa need to do is show proof that he or she will return to the Philippines before the lapse of her allowed stay in the UK (if the application is approved).

If, however, the applicant fails to show evidence of his or her economic and family ties to the Philippines for lack of documents to prove ties to the Philippines, the application is doomed from the start and it now becomes a burden to file the next time because of this bad record.

Well and good If there was no deceit or fraud in the first application, and the ground or grounds for refusal were merely due to the lack of supporting documents due to the inadvertence or mistake of the UK Visit Visa applicant. This can be cured by merely sending the missing documents to the UKVI on appeal, if appeal is allowed.

However, if there was evident fraud on the part of the applicant for the UK Visit Visa, herein lies the problem.

As we keep on saying to our dear applicants and readers, it is better to explain why the applicant could not obtain a particular required document rather than attach a forged or false document with the application.

Remember that if there is fraud in the filing of any type of application, whether for a UK Spouse Visa, UK Fiancée Visa or any other type of UK Settlement Visa as well as for a UK Visit Visa, a ten year ban shall be enforced against the applicant, meaning he or she shall receive an automatic denial. Likewise, should they file another application within ten years from the time the forgery or falsity is committed, they will receive an automatic denial.

In the case of a denied application due to inadvertence or mistake, ECO-Friendly keep on emphasizing, that there is hope since all the applicant of the denied UK Visit Visa need to do is answer the grounds for refusal point by point.

Here at ECO Immigration Consultancy, we tell previously denied applicants of the UK Visit Visa or any other type of UK Visa not to lose hope since the best way to deal with the refused application is to address the grounds for refusal point for point.

This is the best and only possible way to go about a previously denied application. Whether or not an appeal is allowed or not, the only thing to do is address the grounds for refusal.

If appeal is not allowed, then the only recourse is to file a fresh application, this time “addressing” the grounds for refusal.

ECO Immigration Consultancy would also like to remind its readers that in the case of a fresh application, all the documents that were gathered and attached in the first application, as well as the new documents addressing the grounds for refusal must both be attached to the new application.
​
Next time, ECO Immigration Consultancy blog will again resume its articles regarding the filing of UK Spouse Visa, UK Fiancee Visa as well as other UK Settlement Visa.
