To Purple: Thanks for the reply again.
No she doesnt work, she looks after the kids full time at the moment. Her parents (very poor) live in Mindanao whilst she is in Quezon city so not sure they can help - certainly not financially.
Regarding the kids fathers divorce or annulment - he works for the Vice president so probably has a fair few useful contacts!
What is the DSWD?
Stev.r: Fair question but actually she is desperate to get away from him when we met back in her home prvince of Mindanao she begged me to support her so she wouldnt have to go back to him, unfortunately at the time I still wasn't sure we would marry so wasn't prepared to get into a commitment like that! Maybe wish I had now. We've only been seeing each other since September but that is for 2 - 3 hrs a night every night and as I said I flew out there to see her and the kids for 2 weeks in November. The intention was for her to visit here next year for an extended period before finally deciding, but when looking into the visa options that's when I discovered the possible problems getting a visa for her kids and so everything is up in the air now.
