    cheers!!
    I think that if you had a well assembled application stating where you were all going to stay whilst in the UK and how you would all be supported financially, also explaining the reasons for your Family Visit Visa application at this stage and that that you fully intend to return to the Philippines and apply for a settlement visa at a later stage when your husband has sorted out the issue of family accomodation in the long term, then I can't think why the ECO would not see this as perfectly acceptable.

    The main thing is that you should avoid giving any impression that you are trying to circumvent the normal process of applying for a settlement visa because of issues with regard to sole responsibility of the children and I think that you should submit evidence of this as part of your application. The reason I say this is that the ECO will probably conclude that there is unlikely to be any reason other than accomodation why you (married to a British citizen) would not be given a spouse visa, but issues surrounding the childrens paternity which would not normally be scrutinised for a visit visa, may be looked at more closely. The other thing that the ECO may want to consider is, are you trying to circumvent the normal process because of your husbands accomodation problems.
