Hello folks

I am new here, so hello to you all

A friend of mine who is married to a lovely Filippino girl recommended the site.

I am in love with a lovely 25 yo Filippino girl. We have been "dating" online on Yahoo for 4 months now. 2 hr chats on cam every night. Anyway if seems & feels real

Her intensions appear to be 100% genuine, as are mine

I tried to get her into the UK on a General Visitor Visa but that was refused :( Cause they felt she would not return home.

Needless to say we were both gutted :( cause we thought the 6 months she was here would let us no if our feelings really are real, which we think they are.

Anyway, I think the way forward is the Fiance Visa. I am planning in going to Philly in a few months to speand 8 days with her. Also I will meet her mon, dad etc on one of the days. So lots of pictures will be taken. Also I plan to propose during the visit and I guess visit the British Embassy with her for "advice" re Fiance visa application etc.

Does this seem the logical way to progress? When the initial Visa was refused we were both gutted :( Lots of tears. My solicitor seemd to think this is the common sense approach, ie meet each other first then progress with Fiance Visa etc.

I guess the plan is on my return to the UK we would get the application for Fiance Visa organised?

All advice welcome.

Thank you
