Hello Ladies and Gents,

This is my first posting on this site and would really appreciate some advice on my situation because I have no idea where to start...

I have been to the Philippines twice within the last 6 months and fell for a girl there who I have ended up asking to marry me. I am 26, financially wealthy (although currently unemployed - finance worker and victim of the recession) from the UK and she is 19. She has a year of nursing study completed although she doesnt study anymore and does not work either.

I would really like to bring her over here. Is it best to try to apply for a 6 (can u get this long?) month tourist visa or a fiancé settlement visa? What are the processes and the chances of success?

Any information you could help me with this would be great. I really have no idea how to go about doing this...

Many thanks in advance!

David
