Omg my head is spinning. It's so complicated.

Yes it will be my first time in Philly and due to work commitmants my only visit for at least a year. Conseqently, we really need to use the visit to our best advantage.

It's only 8 days I am there, mon to mon. I assumed best to use the time to get to know each other, meet her mom dad etc. Get lots of pics taken and get engaged. We also planned to visit the British Embassy in Manila to ask for advice stating we just got engaged and we like to get my fiancé into the Uk with intention to marry within 6 month.

The idea also was to bring out bank statements etc with me ready to be submitted with fiancé Visa application.

Now some people mention getting married. I guess we could during the 7 days if it makes it easier for my lovely lady to be with me?

I guess it means a spouse visa application following my visit, or is there another way? Also what are legal implications re getting married in Philly?

My house is main asset in my name only. My lovely lady has already said she has no interest in it and suggested if my solicitor needed her to sign some legal doc she would. So I have mo worries re her intentions.

She really is a gorgeous sweet sincere & caring girl. I guess that's what I fall in love with her :-)

thanks for advice. I really appreciate it

Cheers
