Hi all. Iv'e spent the past hour reading the posts in this forum. Although informative, I can't find any positive solutions to my question..

I have spent a long long time chatting and skype with a filipino girl. She is a geniune person, never asked for anything and our relationship is ready for the next stage of meeting. She currently works in Singapore as a domestic worker. I am going to visit her in the next couple of weeks.

We are not really going to get to know each other in the time I am there. So I have proposed she comes to UK for a few months with a visitors visa. Now I see it doesnt seem that simple to get this visa reading these forums

We partly filled the visitor application online and hoping to visit VisaUK office with her whilst in singapore. Her employer is aware and is happy to cancel employment contract knowing my intentions are geniune too. Im going to pay for flight and support her in UK having plenty of savings to prove this. However, I got a funny feeling she may not get it with sufficent proof of her intentions to leave UK.

She is married but seperated (about 4 yrs ago - her husband went off with other women) and if all is well with our relationship we want to proceed with applying for annulment. She also has 2 daughters who she supports and her brother is bringing them up. In the future I would like her two daughters to join us if all is well.

Obviously open to any suggestions but firstly we would like to know each other. I will visit her in singapore but need some advice on visitng visa and suggestions to help her spend time with me in UK? I could mention our intention to return to ph to sort annulment but i dont think this will be enough. She also wants to return for daughters activity in school..

Her mother, stepfather, sister and cousin are all working in singapore. Any suggestions ??

John.
