    Good news

    Hi everyone
    I got great news today, my gf was granted her tourist visa.
    Thank god cos i really wanted her to come over and see what its like her in Uk.
    So we didn't have to go throught the whole fiance visa process
    Maybe next time

    I guess me meeting her 3 times in phili and taking her to Hong Kong once may have gone in my favour.
    Who knows but she is coming yippee

    Thanks all

    Stew

    well scouser keith will tell you, you had a few % chance of getting the tourist visa.

    thats was the few % one gone, looks like the quota for a tourist visa has been used up,next 96%+ will be refused

    hi stew i was just wondering does your gf have a good job,money,house etc back in the philippines because my gf doesnt and i am thinking along the same lines as you.i want my gf to sample life in england first although we are going to risk it and go for fiance visa early 2008.
    unless your gf is in the same position as mine ie no reason to go back to phili in the eco's eyes

But then I am quite sad cause I need a tourist visa which I found out that its really hard to get one. I am planning to go to U.K. 6 months from now sponsored by a friend who will get married this november here in Philippines.

    Please let me know what to do.

    thank you so much for your attention .

    You will need;
    bank statements, payslips, or some other evidence to show that you can pay for the trip and that you have enough money to support yourself and any dependants without working or getting any help from public funds, and
    evidence that you intend to leave the UK at the end of your visit (for example, a letter from your employer).

    If you are visiting family or friends you will need:

    a letter from your sponsor (the person you are visiting) explaining your relationship with them and the purpose of your visit, and
    a copy of the bio-data page (the page containing their photograph) of their UK passport or, if they are not a UK national, evidence of their immigration status in the United Kingdom.

    If your sponsor will be supporting you during your visit, or paying for the cost of the visit, you will need:

    payslips, bank statements, or some other evidence to show that they have enough money to support you.

    as no one has helped yet, i'll try, a few questions thou ..
    you've been in the uk 3 years ? on what visa? a workpermit ?
    do you have 'sole custody' of your daughter and is the fathers name on her birth cert ? does she have any contact with her father, and do you ?
    also who's looking after her now ?

    also are you planning on living permenantly in the uk with your daughter ?
