you got it so wrong ...people here is saying that in the philippines...its kinda hard to get tourist visa for we provide evidences that we have enough funds to support our visit in england...which is i believe that you gf does not have

as anybody else here... i am as well as suggesting you to get her a fiancee visa for there is a higher chances she can come and have 6 months with you there in england...

Fiancee visa gives you the chance to get married in that 6 months time visa...
(I assume only)who knows you might both realize living together in that certain time and feel that you wanna spend the rest of your life together and get married without her going back home she might like living in uk with you as you have just said that you are totally considering all her feelings about it or it is just have something to do with you what were trying to say here is that why not be so unsure when there's a better way you can be sure at the end of it.
and if you decided not to or still not having that kind of feeling she can go back home at the end of her stay...

no you cannot apply tourist visa while on fiancee visa... what i said is that there is one case in here that a girl is on tourist visa and they thought they can get married and convert it into settlement visa which there is not and you really have to go back to phil...and for her to be able to get married and stay in england for longer she has to apply for a fiancee visa...

i hope you get it right this time or i will or my last good advice is settle your heart for what you feel is the right thing to do....
Hi
Ok i see what you are saying.
To be honest i would like to marry her but like i said i have to be 100% sure that it will work out.
I've seen too many marriages not work out to jump into such a comitment so quickly. But it is something i have considered very seriously.

My gf is so close to her family like alot of filipinos.
And she is only 22 (im 29 by the way)
Im not sure if she is ready for such a commitment.
Living in a country with no friends or family can be so isolating.
My borthers gf is from vietnam.
She likes it here but she does not want to live here.
So my Brother will probably move to Vietnam eventually.
Im sure she would like to be with me but maybe just not here in UK.
If i fail at Tourist i will try for Fiance.

Thanks fro advice
