hello isimpson01,
i dont know the name of ECO yet i guess we wait for decision but i already making a dossier of inappropriate questions and behavior just in case, it may be a culture thing that he seems to be aggresieve but then if he is working in manila he should be aware of those differences, he ask annabel,....."so how do you know he loves you, he has had other filipino gf's ..." i dont know about you but i find that inappropriate and irrelevant how does anyone know someone loves them and we all have had previous gf's !!! i know they are trying to see if the relationship is genuine, not sure how they go about this if an arranged marriage and when you read the immigration rules all it states that you should of met...so really i dont know what is going on i spoke with an immigration lawyer and he said all of that is irrelevant, and they should just satisfy themselves that you know each other and have made a commitment to each other, as someone said to me this is what happens when you have FCO staff not immigration officers making these decisions , they dont have the operational nous as they have limited experience ....always open to appeal but it the time lengths involved when all you want is your mahal by your side ...
regards and good luck
jonathan and annabel
