Perhaps I’m being a little cynical here, or have a suspicious mind, but there are always two sides to every story, and at present we’ve only seen one & some things just don’t ring true, or sit comfotrable with me.
I assume that it’s a FLR she’s applying for, not the ILR?
Also, this She actually wants to stay here for a while to at least have a job till the possible ILR visa gets approved cos she has no money at all. Is very confusing.
She cannot work until the FLR is approved…. and there is obviously no chance of her gaining an ILR in 2 years’ time.
Perhaps she just came for “economic reasons” in the first place, perhaps it was never her intention to “make it work”. Who knows ?
It seems she’s more concerned about the FLR/ILR being granted than anything else !
She's prepared to shut her mouth to his violence, his behaviour UNTIL the FLR is granted, yes ????????????
“She has no money to return”.
If she pitched up at the Filipino Embassy in London and explained the situation, they would repatriate her. (Isn’t this part of what’s covered at the CFO ?). Granted, they might bill her for the flight, but they would also (I assume) expect her to levy assault charges against the husband.
….. but if she did that, then there would be no chance of the FLR being granted, and hence no chance of working here.
BTW …. I would never ever condone violence in the family home/environment in ANY circumstances.
