With regard the planing it is worth sitting there for a chat session and explain all the processes you found out about. Keep it simple and step by step. If my Wife had explained all the processes we would have to go though in detail, I would have my head spinning for weeks after.
Also be aware judith may suddenly blessed with lots of useful info from friends, neighbours and realtive. A lot of this will be either out of date, regarding another countries visa or just muddled up. Be prepared for it and ready to counter it with the correct facts.
If judith needs advice or reassurance im sure if she asks on here for a filpinas experince, the ladies on this site will only to glad to help and advise.
I don't know the level of judiths english but if she is to come to the UK it will im sure (as it does for most phills) need improving and angliszing (ie get her aquainted with the fact uk english is differnt to us english).
I know of phills who just can't understand the british accent but will understand clearly americans. So best to put the timeline and other details in english to help with her practise.
The to simplest ways to help her english is with communication with you and watching bbc channel which most phills will have access to via their local cable channel.
Early on in the process its worth on deciding if your wife wants to study and take an exam such as a ilets. This will help if Judith plans to work in the UK either as a teacher or in another career. As it shows the level of english she has attained.
