Question Visa application requirements

Has any Canadian out there recently received their Working Holidaymaker?

Can you clarify the method of payment for the Visa fee? Is a money order alright? If I write a cheque for the equivalent of 85 GBP is that good enough?

Help...thanks

HOLY MAN....

I double checked with the enquiries office that my husband did not have to come with me as he doesn't qualify. Twice I was confirmed that it was alright since he was to old.

That is the exact reason I was given for my rejection. Because I'm married, I cannot travel without him...

Oh the appeal shall be fun.

Rules on the UK Visas website

How do I qualify as a working holidaymaker?
You must be able to show that you:
- are single, or that you are married to, or the civil partner of someone who also qualifies as a working holidaymaker and you plan to take the working holiday together

Again, I was told twice that the rule didn't apply to me as he didn't qualify nor was he traveling with me.

Giving me the website address doesn't provide any helpful information. Why do you think I inquired at the Visa office in the first place?

Maybe because you didn't read the website. It says quite clearly that you don't qualify because of your husband. I don't know why you would phone them.
