Aye - please try not to be too harsh on me or suspicious of my motives. I am merely trying to probe knowledge and experience by asking some questions.
I never said I didn't want to visit the Philippines or in some way cause her to forget her past life, that is rather a severe assumption if you don't mind me saying so.
On the subject itself I think that while there is a risk of a VV being refused on the grounds she would not return then it is not worth contemplating since it raises a negative flag at the outset and clearly we don't want that.
There is nothing wrong with having a plan though. In my experience one has to look at the facts somewhat dispassionately at some point in proceedings and dispense with a little of the romance so that one can make informed decisions.
My first wife was Nigerian and I had a great deal of contact with the immigration service when getting married and securing her ILR later. You need to be thinking 2 and 3 steps ahead and have all bases covered. On that basis I wish to leave nothing to chance.
Cheers
