Hi everyone

It was well over a year ago since leaving my wife and son behind in the Philippines . Thinking back it seems like yesterday . Now on January 13th 2010 they are finally here in Eastbourne.

It was just fantastic meeting them both at Heathrow airport Terminal 4 . It was also snowing badly outside but for me that didnt really matter.

Im thankful for all the support from all of you . Rememeber even though the road ahead can sometimes be rocky never give up. I know sometimes i thought we will never get there.

Great news that they have arrived and your together again as a family.

No need to worry about ILR yet, a couple of years till you need that, just enjoy ur time together.

good you're all ok :xxgrinning--00xx3:

it's not the end of the road, its only the end of a chapter ...

you should make a start by adding your wifes name on some bills etc, council tax one for a start, you'll need 6 letters/bills spread over 2yrs that are jointly addressd to you and your wife when she applies for ilr

also claim child benefit, and see if youre entitled to tax creds ...

goodluck Ron to you and your misses :xxgrinning--00xx3:
