I do honestly think we can be together, and I could not live with myself if I gave up,without going any further, I would always be wondering, I did before we met, meet more Filipina's in Dubai and it was one of them that helped me meet my wife.

Hi Mick,

This sounds strange to me.....

When a lady goes to the Visa Application Centre in Manila, the first two things they want to see is an appointment letter and the evidence of visa payment. I believe walk-in applicants do not have the appointment letter, obviously.
If you think she has submitted the visa application, somebody MUST have paid the visa fee.

The visa interview you mentioned will only happen at a much later date (and sometimes it is not required also if the ECO is satisfied the application is sufficient) after the application has been submitted.

So, I am assuming that she has not submitted her application and you now need to find a way to get a manager's cheque made payable to "British Embassy Manila".

Can you clarify this please?

Also, for a successful application you should really be providing the UKVAC details of how you can support her, and your savings would be essential, I would have thought
