thou if she was refused a family visit visa, she should have a right to appeal and could well win it.

but with evidence thats you/your wife owns a cab business then thats a good reason for her to return back to the phils
Thanks Joebloggs,
As it happens i want to return to the Phils once l get fed up with work again, believe it or not l really like the place (except all the paperwork) we have a house, car, business that earns reasonable money (by PI standards) all we are after is a short viz to let missus and kids meet my family. Maybe l should just apply for a tourist visa for the missus and point out she is bringing our kids with her for a holiday.
Cheers for your input
