Incidentally - is it correct that two visits to Phil are necessary to satisfy the application - I heard this but I don't see any reference to "two visits" on any of the fixer sites or the governent sites.

It would probably help, my partner came here in Nov 2007 I always hoped that a clear entry stamp and the fact she left would earn us brownie points later, my partner has dual nationality (Korean and Philipine) and so did not need a visa to come to the UK but the entry stamp I hoped would be a plus point.
