I know what you are saying that the visa looks like it is becoming more difficult, don't get down about it. Just remember your relationship is genuine and there is no reason for refusal if you meet all the requirements

I got married on the 20th December 2010 in Cagayan De Oro, northern Mindinao. It was a church wedding which involves a lot more paperwork than a cival wedding, but the misses wanted that (white Wedding, walking down the aisle) and it was great day!
