[QUOTE=Sim11UK;171037]Hi.....for a start, I wouldn't bother using a consultant....

Hello Marlyn & Kenny! I support Sim11UK on this..i mean having a consultant. My fiance & I, for one, have been together here in the Philippines for only 17 days but was granted a fiancee visa a week ago. We personally met on December 2008 after 8mos of continuous communication.

When we applied for a fiancee visa last April, we submitted everything to support our claims and I have to sincerely thank this site for this. As to evidence of relationship, I submitted the following:

1) My mobile phone's Statements of Account (from April 2008-March 2009) highlighting his number;
2) Screenshot of our daily emails since day 1 (I have to thank myself for being sentimental ). I also printed out some emails;
3) Our pictures together with corresponding documents (e.g. our pictures taken in Boracay - next page are the plane tickets, terminal fees, hotel booking & food receipts)

Just do your research & be guided by reading the threads relative to applying a visa. This forum will surely address some of your concerns. Good luck!
