    ... I'm so sorry to learn of your predicament, my friend. Reading between the lines ... from what you've mentioned in a number of your previous posts - and NOW, with this latest development - I think you really need to brace yourself for the strong possibility that your girlfriend's motives are not entirely honourable. I hope and pray I'm wrong here ... but I doubt it.

    This is the conclusion I have already reached Arthur

    TBH, I have always had my doubts, and one of the main reason's why I joined this forum was to learn more about others experiences and to pose questions regarding my concerns.

    I won't go into detail publicly, I'm sure you all understand

    To be honest, it's the wages we pay for my niece nanny. But she's has free food and accommodation.
    Sleeping in an aircondition room.

    But not a factory in Cavite which is part of CALABARZON.

    Maybe she's doing this to try to get you to support both her and her family. I do think that to do this at this time, when she already knows you've gone to a lot of trouble and expense to arrange a trip there to see her is just not on. To be honest, I think your on a loser with this girl, if she puts her family's interests first and doesn't seem to even consider your interests I don't think it bodes well for the future.

    I don't think she's using it as blackmail on the basis that she had already sorted out her work and visa with the agent before she told me. I don't know how long it takes to sort out, but I can't imagine it is an instant thing. There must be some planning, I'm also now beginning to wonder if she ever really had the job she said that she had in the factory?

    Some workers fly to SG holding tourist visa and others through placement agency.

    Tourist is fastest but not safe.
    Placement agency can help them fly asap if there's visa and job order from POEA already.
    She needs to be interviewed by agency then employer and usually it takes 2-3 months waiting.
