we have a friend in phillipines and we want her to come to ireland and live /work with us.first we applied for student visa,were she would study a course,and live with us,and see if she liked ireland,but it was refused.then she applied for a package holiday to come here,again,visa was refused.
why is it so hard for her to travel?is LOVE not a good reason to allow ppl to travel now?this girl is like our sister.my brother will marry her now,we hope that way she can come here.it seems the laws in place to discourage marriage of convience,but a marriage of convience is our last option?does anyone know an agency or specialist who can help us??we live in n.ireland,unfortunately thats in the uk,and we have to travel to croydon in london to visit the home office :(
any help appreciated.
, we had known each other through the internet for 6/7 months at that time , we just wanted to spend some time and get to know each other . I gave up the job and went over there for a month, got on very well together. She is soon going to apply for fiancee visa , it lasts 6 months but we must get married in that time otherwise she has to go back to PI. The fiancee or spouse visa is the most popular application, if I was not working full time I think we would get married in PI. 
This is a good site with plenty of valueable info from peoples past and present experiences.Best of luck
. We've made a few happy this way, and it means the guy pays the expenses not you!!!
