[QUOTE=LastViking;152817]Hi everyone

I am a British guy who has fallen for a Filipino girl, but she is stuck in the Philippines....QUOTE]


Hello Last Viking, welcome to the the forum.

Filipinos can adopt quite quickly given the chance to find a job she'd enjoy, or meet new friends. Adjustment period is not constant, it will depend on how well she'll carry herself while in here.

But reading your post, I think the main concern is that you'd like to be with her in a much longer time before you commit to marry her. And I'd like to believe that she's feeling the same way too. But distance is making it complicated?

I don't know how long you'd stay in the Philippines this coming November, but I'm sure you'll take that opportunity to know her better and vice versa. From then hopefully you'd see if there's anything super special between you. Perhaps before you leave the Philippines, you'd be able to decide if it's worth getting a fiancee visa? Plus, if you go that route, she'll have 6 months to stay in the UK. I'm sure you'll both have the gist by then if you should move forward.

Best regards to both of you.

Thnks very much for your reply, I am only able to be in the Philippines for 10 days in November because of work commitments. You do have it spot on though. I don't think either of us should rush into something and you point about the 6 months is very valid.

I understand though that under a Fiancée visas she is not allowed to work while she is here, is that right?
