its been ages since ive posted. i never really left the forum, ive just been quiet
you can apply for a COA. we took that route two and half years ago. would i recommend it? no. it takes about 3 months to get the approval so you are only left a few weeks really to organize the most special day of your life. and in the end you do need to go back to your home country to apply for a settlement visa. even if you have 2 years multiple entry you are only allowed to stay maximum 6 months so you will still need to leave the country. i dont regret doing it, dont get me wrong. it was worth the stress in the end.
while you are here i would advise you plan your wedding so than when you go back to the philippines you will have loads of proof that you are indeed planning your wedding and when you receive your fiance visa all you need to do is finalize your plans when you get back here. its no different to applying for a COA, they need proof as well. so might as well save yourself the hassle and do it properly. it will save you money as well.
good luck!
