Ok we finaly took the leap, have applied online and the wifes got the appointment tuesday, so we got , 6 months bank statements with substantial savings, a job offer but i am down as unemployed as i live in philippines for 4 years with missis, tenancy agreement for a house in uk with pictures , copy of land title in philippines, copy of deed of sale of our last house here, many copies of pictures of us together, lots of bills ie telephone cabole etc to us in philippines, copies of my residancy card for the philippnes, plus numerous other stuff to show we been here together and a advert of our house thats for sale here in the philippines, I am hoping its enough to get her the visa.

We applied then canceled the appointment then got a managers cheque, then made appoinment again, was going crazy as weather to apply or not but decided to take the chance, We also have our son who has a british and filipino passport so hopefully it will go in our favour, if not a appeal for sure with human right business involved.

anyway i just hoping all goes well and we are back in sunny uk for a very nice cold christmas!!!!!!!!
