Hi People..

Just been reading through the thread.. hoping to start my spouse migration soon(ish) so I'm finding all this info really useful

Did our little write ups about each other last night, was quite funny really
Didn't write loads just the basics
thanks for hints ladies

Hello and Welcome!

If you have any Q's feel free to ask, there is always one of us who has an answer I found this thread very helpful while going thru my application and I don't think I'd have coped without it and the forum!!

Good Luck to you!

So what have you got left to do?? When do you think you'll be applying?? Keep us updated

Ok this isnt much help but If I remember rightly my personal statement which was done by the agent just said that we were in a long lasting relationship and that we were commited to each other etc, it was about 20 lines long and they were both the same just the names changed

As for x-rays, just be careful as I'm sure you've read about the nipple clamps I had to go back for a 2nd x-ray and lost my slot for the doctors for 2 weeks, also once were x-rays were done I couldnt get them as the senior radiologist had to look at them which took 2 or 3 days to complete, the whole thing took about 3 weeks

We had to wait a week between xrays and the medicals but everywhere is probably different.

I couldnt wait any longer today i gave in and phoned our case officer and would you believe it she is off this week and not back in until monday, so i guess we wont be hearing anything until next week.

Yeh your wallet!!!!!

We had our meds and x-rays done during the same appointment.......C x


Hello and welcome to our circle!!!!! C x

awwww what a pain! When did you send yours in? We sent ours on the Tuesday, they received it on the Wednesday, we had an e-mail on the Friday asking for two forms to be completed, sent them in which they received on the Monday and then we had our passport back with the visa in it on the Wednesday!

hey shiels, appreciating your point, nearly had a heart attack (that would have looked good on the medicals ) when quoted the cost, daughter is 16 so counts as an adult, will be the best part of £400 that day without taking child for lunch!

As a quick question, is it a standard price for meds and x-rays..I paid £210 for the whole lot, what about anyone else?

my lot haven`t had theirs yet, but sounds cheapHow many was that for? I`ve seen threads were people have paid 800 for families (sorry lost pound sign on keyboard) and more

I had a pm who told me it worked out 163 pound each , less if under 16, more if you`ve got tats, including x rays and courier in Salford seems a good deal if you up the North West way.

Cheers Pollyana

That was just for me...£70 for the x-ray and £131 for the Med

Oh I should have said I paid an extra £26 for the Hep B&C tests as I have a tat

soon mounts up if you have to do more than one!!
