Fiance visa is a "no-go".

The UKBA / British Embassy in the Philipiines will NOT issue a fiance visa to
young women / ladies UNDER THE AGE OF 21 (so I believe)

.. I'm sure others on here will verify this.

My advice ?
Get her to return to college, and arrange from time-to-time to meet her
OUTSIDE the Philippines... eg Thailand, Malaysia.

So, when you do actually apply, you/she have a "track record" of visting other
countries, and NOT overstaying. The ECO will add a lot of credit/credence to
that.

thankyou for the help guys. im pretty disappointed in truth then because it looks like it will be a long time before anything can be arranged.

are there any other ways around this? what about marriage - say in the Philippines and then applying for a 'wife visa'?
